NBC News: Trump eases Russian oil sanctions as Iran war sends prices spiking

https://www.nbcnews.com/world/russia/trump-eases-russian-oil-sanctions-iran-war-prices-ukraine-europe-rcna263310

What I am seeing is that Trump started an illegal war to fund Putin's illegal war.

1. trump is a russian asset doing his best to destroy the USA.

[slightlv]

5. trump IS a Russian Asset...

has been for decades. Russia plays the long game. They never planned to bomb or go to war with the US, they knew they could take us down from the inside... because OUR oligarchs are just like THEIR oligarchs! One thing Putin knows is how to "handle" rich white men.

And I do hope we don't get into semantics... that crap is driving me crazy. He can't be a traitor because he doesn't fit the very narrow single definition of treason. And yet, anyone with a lick of sense sees what he's doing as treason. We have to either come up with new words for his crimes, or redefine the existing ones. Because he ain't getting out of this alive...

[Hey Joe]

30. Nah, Russian asset is accurate and works for me.

Trump is Putins ass pony, buttboy and fluffer.

[themaguffin]

31. everything he does helps Russia and hurts us...absolutely yes he is.

[miyazaki]

2. The man is a sanctioned terrorist.

He's a threat to the entire world population.

[bucolic_frolic]

3. The war is a gift to US oil producers

US is the world's largest exporter of oil. We are raking in the petrodollars

[wnylib]

6. The oil companies are raking it in. The average citizen gets nothing.

[littlemissmartypants]

8. Bingo.

[Bayard]

11. Citizens have gotten family members sent home in caskets.

Thirteen so far.

[wnylib]

14. What if people on both sides just flat out refused

to fight? It happened briefly in WWI on Christmas Eve. Both sides saw no point in fighting each other on the holiday that was supposed to celebrate peace on earth. They laid down their arms and met each other in no man's land between the lines.

Why should soldiers fight and die on behalf of oligarchs and dictators who sell war in the name of patriotism when it is only for the personal gain of the leaders who start the war?

[OldBaldy1701E]

19. Exactly.

However, that requires a level of sacrifice and effort that doesn't seem palatable for this country these days.

After all, that has been my siren for a while now. Stop doing their bidding. But...

[Amaryllis]

24. I remember that Christmas Eve story. There is a song about it.

[FoxNewsSucks]

15. Well, we DO get the privilege of paying more to fill up our cars

[BurnDoubt]

4. Not to worry. It's all going according to plan.

By next Christmas you’ll be able to afford twenty Russian Nesting Dolls!!!!!!!!
Winning!!!!!!

[flvegan]

7. Reminder: 77 million shitbag Americans voted for this. FOR this. n/t

[OldBaldy1701E]

20. And, that needs to be remembered, once things improve.

Everyone knows a few neighbors that had MAGA crap all over their houses. Once they realize that they are not among the anointed, they will be hiding that shit faster than a four year old with that cookie you told them to not have.

Don't let them. Remember them. Mark them. Let them know that we are now aware of their... shortcomings... and will be keeping an eye on them from now on. Just to make sure they don't do something completely stupid and dangerous like eating lead paint, or walking out into traffic, or like they did in that last election.

[FM123]

32. You are so right.

77 million voted for this. And nearly 90 million eligible voters just sat it out all together and didn't vote, letting these 77 million have their way with us.

[quakerboy]

33. Allegedly

[surfered]

9. Ignoring Putin giving targeting intelligence to Iran while allowing Russia to better fund their war against Ukraine.

…Just to save his own political skin from his own stupid decision, which drove up fuel prices

[Skittles]

10. Trump sure does a lot of stuff that helps Russia

nothing to see here, move along............

[bagimin]

16. I've heard they have "something"

(Epstein) on him.

[Skittles]

17. of course they do

imagine what Trump would be saying about a short, bald man otherwise

[ancianita]

12. You're seeing clear as day with 20-20 sight

[Botany]

13. Trump's war on Iran also makes the oil he is stealing from Venezuela worth more money too.

N/t

[GiqueCee]

21. There are a lot...

... convoluted motives in play in this monstrous clusterfuck, and I agree, your observation is definitely one of them. Putin is playing 3-D chess, while Trump is playing tiddly-winks.

[niyad]

22. Your eyesight is excellent.

[Clouds Passing]

23. Dump & Netahoohoo & Poopin Axis of Evil

[Irish_Dem]

26. Yes you are correct. And Trump hopes to steal Iran oil and other resources.

It is high treason and theft.

[gab13by13]

27. Krasnov did this right after a 1 hour phone call with Putin

Krasnov is a Russian agent, why would a retired KGB agent lie about his code name being Krasnov?

[Shermann]

28. He wants Iran to suffer more than he wants Russia to suffer.

It also may be strategic if there was a quid-pro-quo that wasn't disclosed. I'm not claiming there was, but it's very unlike Trump to hand Russia something of great value without getting something in return.

[flashman13]

29. When the economy completely crashes there won't be anyone that can afford to buy over priced gas.

That's called unintended consequences.
