    This starts in November, and not a midterm saver. Unless US is able to significantly restrain Ukrainian attacks on refineries, oil instead of diesel is what will get exported more. The reason for US to do this is that they know oil prices will collapse the global economy based on their November military plans for Iran.

      Russia doesn’t have much diesel to export. Putin instituted a ban for a reason

      This will help the midterms in that it’s an “accomplishment” Trump can point to that will totally fix his fuckups right after the election

      Just like he’s been claiming the Iran war will end right after the midterms
