Friend of my wife is an ICC jurist. Lost all her credit cards in 2025, and her Google and Meta accounts were all deleted earlier this year.

The sooner there is a global payment card system that runs independently of the US, the better

BREAKING: We are now buying massive amounts of fuel from Russia and Vladimir Putin so that he can fund his attacks against our allies and further fund Iran, who is directly attacking us.

That’s the “ART of the Deal”!

Zelenskyy “At this very moment—while our team is speaking with the American team in Florida—the President of the United States is talking to the Kremlin leader, the leader behind this war and this aggression, and is reaching an agreement allowing Russia to export diesel. This means additional funds for the war, additional funds to fuel the suffering inflicted upon us. Undoubtedly, this only emboldens Putin and enables them to continue fighting. It is happening right now, just as we are discussing peace: America is allowing Russia to export diesel. This means millions, billions. Ultimately, it all goes towards the war against people, against Ukraine—against all of us. I believe our team is simply being used as a smokescreen. This is certainly dishonest; it is certainly not how partners should act. And, in my view, it is a weak decision—sadly, a weak decision made by strong partners.”

This whole thing really disgusts me; it’s unbelievable and absolutely insane. :nauseated_face:

This is wild. ABC ran a story about how much money Uday and Qusay have won in government contracts for their weapons companies. The article has now disappeared without a trace with no response from ABC to demands for an explanation

Note the interpretation in the second post of the thread…this was predicted because it was obvious to people who were paying attention.

One issue about that Russian oil thing well two really. One is they are struggling to produce it due to Ukrainian attacks and secondary I’m sure it’s going go down very well with all those queues.

Oh and it’s about two hours consumption. You aren’t ending any wars in Ukraine mate. You’ve basically just lit a powder keg under it.

Trump is such a despicable low life and the most untrustworthy person I know of.

And before anyone makes the point (which is not the worst one) that Russia does not have the refinement capacity to fulfill this deal (probably Arminius, since he knows a bit about absolutely everything and probably knows that as well), then know that I am fully aware, but it is hardly the point I am trying to make. Because this deal is devastating for Ukraine’s war effort. Any UA attack on Russian energy targets will be now met with far more intense US fury (and possibly sanctions), and it was hardly popular before.

Why arent Europe imposing sanctions on the usa? They are basically trading with russia who has sanctions against them…is this not what the american system has always done? …or is it because European nations are fucking spineless?..and yes UK with their “use google maps to find cheaper petrol” pm is included.

And in lifting the sanctions he’s just surrendered the most meaningful leverage that he had on Putin. He’s been played for the absolute fucking mark that he is , yet again.

Trump did this probably as well to have a new scapegoat just before the election. Ukraine will now be blamed for high diesel prices because it won’t stop shelling Russian refineries. And, of course, those MAGApeople will believe it. Hopefully, Ukraine acts tactically smart for the time being and doesn’t fall into this trap—at least until the election. After that, it won’t matter anymore anyway.

Maybe it’s senility in this case - he may remember Muhammad Al Fayad from Diane days. His memory for more recent events is stretchy at best.
