      Considering the Ukrainians have been blowing up refineries and fuel storage depos for months now, I agree with you. That diesel doesn’t exist.

      Also I remember reading that Russians implemented fuel rationing in some parts of the country.

        AFAIK the fuel rationing only applies to gasoline, which Russia produces significantly less of

        That’s probably the point, now that ‘US has a deal’ Ukraine targetting Russian refineries is a ‘no no’.

        Just the latest orders down the chain from Putin.

        I’m thinking its all a show/lie. When it doesn’t show up he is to be able to tell the American people that Ukraine is driving up prices and attacking american fuel…

          Oh, definitely. He’s gonna use it to cut all US support to Ukraine. Which would also help Putin a lot.

              They still offer intelligence support I believe. Don’t think they give anything else otherwise and haven’t ever since Trump took power.
