  • Yeah, he is just going to ban it anyway a month from now. So EU will be at the mercy of USA/Russia.
  • The US has become a very short-term individual interest focused country. There is no long term vision for the country, there is no care for their own citizens, only today's president's interest matter. Tomorrow doesnt exists. screw-the-future is their warmongering motto.

    This goes beyond the price of diesel. It is an attack on basic survivability of the nations that may depend on that reserves in the future.

    Never vote for a death cult.
