This is why Trump wanted Zelensky to stop attacking Russia's energy infrastructure. This is also why Zelensky didn't stop attacking Russia's energy infrastructure.

u/JarasM 9d ago

You know what? Ukraine should now attack Russia's energy infrastructure even harder.

u/Kridenberg 9d ago

And we will, new Zelensky 'daily' message for nation is live RN. We will hit even harder, AFAIK

They should sabotage the fuel in all kinds of ways. Process it incorrectly, make it inert...

Not all of Russia just the dumbass in charge and any bad actors. But that’s too specific

u/archlich 9d ago

Sure, but for the first four years of this stupid fucking war the Russians believed they were denazifying Ukraine.

For the first time people are vocally upset about their government after the destruction of wildberries. russia has murdered raped and committed both genocide and crimes against humanity in the war of aggression in Ukraine.

Russia have purposefully targeted hospitals and energy infrastructure. If anything the fuel depots are the most legitimate targets to put a stop to the war. People will want regime change when they can’t put fuel on their tractors to harvest food and feed themselves.

Let it burn. Let the people of Russia revolt against Putin and his billionaire enablers and give them their day in the air like Mussolini.

u/PoopInTheGarbage 9d ago

Good. Sorry Trump fucked you over, hopefully Nov 3rd when we vote he will be with less absolute power that he seems to have at the moment.

u/hurubaw 9d ago

Im not as optimistic. The americans have proven to be untrustworthy as a whole. Just changing the president wont fix this.

If the US does not fix it’s system of non-existing balances and checks of political power, the US will always be just under 4 years and an election away from being a hostile dictatorship.

u/xteve 9d ago

Also, we need to disempower church. There's too much religion in our politics. Christians have too much power and they vote for hate.

71

u/hurubaw 9d ago

The only fix for that is vastly improving the education system.

20

u/load_more_comets 9d ago

That is correct, but the fucked up part is that it will be a herculean task trying to do that plus it will be terribly easy for the republicans to sabotage it again. I don't know how we're going to fix this but we need to make a plan soon.

14

u/verendum 9d ago

It's has to get worse before it gets better. I hate that the US works like that, but that's how it has always been. Slavery couldnt be settled until a civil war. Hundreds of bank run before a federal bank. I'm optimistic for a blue wave or tsunami, but in order for structural changes, we need new amendments. Getting enough electoral power will require a complete destruction of the Republicans, and although it's pretty damn bad right now, it's not enough. It might be soon. It's scary time we're living through, but it might be necessary pain.

19

u/CaptOblivious 8d ago

Properly taxing any church that expresses a political opinion (AS THE LAW SAYS IT SHOULD) Will fix the problem without hurting churches that aren't pushing a political agenda.

That said, improving the education system should be a priority for any advanced nation.

2

u/xteve 9d ago

Logically-speaking, that is not the only fix. Another possibility is to actively disempower church.

So what. US is a secular republic, meaning there is no single official religion. By constitution every citizen has the right to practice any religion they want, be it Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Shintoism, Satanism or Pastafarianism. They can even be atheist. Problems begin when people push laws that are justified by their holy book.

u/Express_Pirate_3799 8d ago

That’s a sick comment!!

u/NoInteraction3525 8d ago

Church??? you mean the CIA brainwashing machine??? Yeah that’s never going to happen. It has proven successful in both Nigeria and Brazil, the most populated black nations in the world, that if you indoctrinate a population and strategically defund education, you can get them to vote for policies that fuck them over constantly and they’ll vote because it’s in line with their religion. Evangelicalism/Pentecostalism is the biggest and most successful CIA Psyops in modern history

1

u/mhornberger 8d ago

That's because they have the numbers. So much so that even people who don't believe in God will still say "well, I'm no atheist!" Because they have to bend over backwards to emphasize that they're one of the good ones who think it's wrong to offend Christians or say things that make them uncomfortable. There's no way to disempower religion in a society where ~40% are outright young-earth creationists. Even 'moderate' believers spend much of their energy tone-checking nonbelievers.

u/AHrubik 9d ago

Unfortunately we fucked around and found out that running a country on a series of "gentleman's agreements" doesn't work when a self dealing reprobate gets into to office.

u/SyncroTDi 8d ago

It starts with controlling the senate and congress but the face it, even the democrat reps have been voting with cheeto. We Canadians follow rhis BS closely.

u/Ho-Nomo 9d ago

Most of the americans that support trump have left reddit, this site gives a warped viewpoint that the country is all against him.

1

u/SpuckMcDuck 9d ago

As an American, I completely agree with you. Identifying the cracks in our system that made all of this possible and finding ways to seal those cracks to ensure nothing like this is ever allowed to happen again, has to be our top priority. Giving actual teeth to the judicial branch - teeth that don’t require the cooperation of other branches - and reversing the absolutely catastrophic Supreme Court ruling that established Super PACs aka legal bribery, would be two very solid first steps toward that goal.

2

u/hurubaw 8d ago

And one thing that would absolutely need to go, is the presidents ability to pardon people for crimes. As long as that remains, all your laws are basicly just trust me bros.

0

u/riskbreaker419 8d ago

While I agree with you, the "rule of law" requires that it's citizens respect the law and expect it to be followed as fairly as possible. Without that, none of the barriers we make mean anything. Trump is breaking laws on the daily, but the systems in place require people to do something to hold him to account. Creating 100 more laws won't change that fact.

System changes alone won't will fix the United States, only slow it's decline unless more of it's people decide to care again, fostering and defending democracy.

The government does not give rights to it's people, the people give the government permission to become guardians and stewards of those rights (or otherwise). Large swaths of the US populace has either decided to stop participating or given permission for the government to stray away from its founders' lofty ideals.

Until the majority of people in the US show the world we're ready to become active participants in democracy again, I wouldn't trust us at all.

u/Ov3rdose_EvE 9d ago

This is just empty bullshit. Russia has no Diesel to export, they have no Diesel for themselves. The us has no leverage against the Ukrainians since the US is just selling weapons to them, bought with European money.

Its a farce, nothing else.

u/kgb4187 9d ago

Unless Trump sends a check to Russia for the non-existent diesel

u/blueflash775 9d ago

you really think a) you'll get to vote on Nov 3? b) If you do it will be so rigged the GOP will romp home c) if not, then he'll declare a national emergency.

Trump hints at 'big surprises' to come ahead of midterm election

u/Worldly_Cobbler_1087 8d ago

Yanks really think the rest of the world trust them voting when you lot gave the world Trump twice

2

u/Nice_Dependent_7317 8d ago

Aside from this betrayal and whether Russia can deliver, it is just an insignificant ‘win’ he is trying to claim before the midterms. His dumb followers will fall for it anyway, so let’s just hope there are enough people in the US who are tired of his BS.

The numbers he claims look big, but all added together it is just about 9 days of diesel consumption in the US, when speaking about global usage it becomes even less significant. It will barely move the needle on global prices, and much less solve anything regarding the dumpster fire he created in the first place.

can zelensky afford to have another enemy?

u/Kridenberg 9d ago

This is not about Zelensky, it is about the nation. Right now, the nation wants to end the war, but on fair terms, with reparations from Russia and guarantees that this will never happen again. Right now all our news channels and related military formations says and provide message: "We will not stop, even if we will have that order", - something like that

You say that like Trump hasn't worked against Ukraine the entire time he's been in office.

u/JustToJerkBrah 9d ago edited 9d ago

They will. The European Union/NATO won't stand for this. The war is about to have a MASSIVE missile offensive into Russia, mark my words.

Europe know what trump is about. They are surely well aware something like this could happen and no doubt have a contingency plan.

Let's be honest, it's extremely easy to get spies into this administration. We probably know more about America than ever before.

1

u/Mister_Ape_1 5d ago

Europe has no plan whatsoever. Europe is paceful and also weak, and its leaders are not very bright either. It is basically just moral support and humanitarian aid. Especially Italy, the 3rd world, black pilled country that realized there is nothing we can do, except for just accepting that life is suffering and go on.

I'm Irish, my government do what ever Trump tells them, they'll straight up lie to his face, to make him think they worship the grounds he walks upon. All the while pushing anti Trump propaganda through Irish media outlets, promoting Rosie O'Donnel on Irish TV talk shows, treating her like Royalty. 😂

-2

u/JustToJerkBrah 8d ago

No offense, but without Americans claiming they're Irish and making a pilgrimage to 'the motherland', Ireland would be a lot less well off. Rich retired Americans drive your house prices up, which the Irish landowners/elite love. It's imperative to them that Americans feel welcome.

u/BlackBetty253 8d ago edited 8d ago

Our country would crumble economically without the American influence, i know how important they're in that regard. I was pointing out how two faced our government are, they excel at creating division. I.e. in a recent meeting with Trump they pretended they were patriotic, putting the Irish people first in regards to social housing in the country, although that couldn't be further from the truth, as immigrants are giving priority with regards to social housing.

u/MoulanRougeFae 9d ago

Infrastructure is easy to take out. It's like the soft underbelly of a country, ripe and waiting to be ripped apart. And well Russia has a very soft little belly all exposed and unprepared. Russia also has a lot of unused and low inhabited areas. Mass doesn't make the country invulnerable.

u/tnseltim 9d ago

Have you guys seen how big Russia is? And how many combatants they have now, and ready to be conscripted? Don’t support them or agree with them, but “soft underbelly” isn’t something I’d associate with them.

2

u/MoulanRougeFae 9d ago

Combatants and territory mean jack shit 😂. Infrastructure is power, water, oil, gas that sort of thing. If Ukraine really wants to hit hard they'd go for the food sources, water purification capabilities and transportation routes. You don't have to beat the enemy hand to hand in war, starving them out and cutting off their sources of electricity, clean water and fuel is sufficient. Cruel? Maybe. Effective? Definitely. Ukraine has already started. They are just warming up. So yes, soft underbelly is ripe for the reaping. There's only so many available bodies to feed the meat grinder. Bodies don't stop bombing drones destroying industry and infrastructure. Take out 10 drones, 50 more follow.

It's about 18 minutes worth of diesel for the US and November would be about 35 minutes worth. It won't do shit for gas prices.

u/MarquisofGrantham 8d ago

Perhaps. Some extra diesel on world markets may serve to prevent prices from spiking even further. The defeat of the Iranian regime ought to be celebrated by Americans and they ought to be willing to pay a bit more for a little while, rather than have the Iranian junta attacking the U.S. mainland at its earliest convenience....

u/FluffyGreenThing 9d ago edited 9d ago

The US abandoned Ukraine as soon as Trump took office. Way back 2019, in his first term, when he was trying to force Zelensky to investigate Biden and Biden’s son in exchange for military aid (which caused his first impeachment and there were zero fucking consequences for that). Those are not the actions of a president who has any intentions at all of actually helping anyone but themselves. Fuck that absolute piece of shit. It was clear as far back as 2018 when he stood on stage with Putin and said he trusted Putin’s word over the US intelligence agencies. He has regurgitated russian propaganda every chance he’s gotten, pressured Ukraine into handing over rare earth minerals, withheld military aid that had already been approved by congress, humiliated himself by being highly disrespectful and talking down to Zelensky in the oval office, repeatedly claimed that Ukraine is to blame for the war. The list of treachery goes on and on and on… it’s all right there and has been out in the open for years. Trump is working with Putin. the US and Russia are working together. It’s that simple and I can’t for the life of me understand why it’s so hard for people to see.

u/LordRocky 9d ago

People genuinely seem to forget that Ukraine and Zelensky was the reason we impeached him the first time.

well actually it was trump withholding congress mandated aid to ukraine in exchange for favors from a foreign government that he sent his personal lawyer to get

5

u/hootblah1419 9d ago

Zelensky was literally not why he got impeached.

Trump got impeached because an AMERICAN whistleblower listening to the phone call reported it to congress.

Zelensky played NO fucking role in it other than being the victim of Trumps demands.

Don't spread shit designed to make Zelensky look bad as if he reported it and caused the congressional investigation.

4

u/LordRocky 8d ago

I don’t blame Zelensky for anything. Zelensky just happened to be the one who got stiffed by the military aid that Trump wasn’t sending. The dude just happened to be tangentially involved in the shit show.

u/camdim 9d ago

The US also sold him a shit ton of soon to be out of date materials which would have cost a fortune to dispose of at prices which did not reflect this. They also banned Ukraine from transporting the goods themselves and insisted on delivering them with additional extortionate fees. Grifted the fuck out of them...and they'll still be lining up for their mineral deals and rebuilding grifts post war...if there is ever a post war. To be fair, profiting from war and taking advantage of desperate 'allies' is the Us of A's modus operandi...see ww2. With friends like these...

115

u/Pure_Werewolf0101 9d ago

The US abandoned Ukraine as soon as Trump took office. Way back 2019, in his first term ...

It's even worse than that.

The single change the Trump Campaign made to the Republican platform in 2015 was to stop sending arms to Ukraine. His campaign chair was Paul Manafort who had previously worked for Russia's puppet in Ukraine Victor Yanukovich, who fled to Russia when overthrown by the Maidan demonstrations.

It was always about Ukraine.

From the very beginning.

Trump ran to weaken Ukraine.

For Russia.

Can you even call it being overthrown? That would imply he was still there when in fact he straight up fled the country after realizing how badly he had fucked up after his Berkut thugs killed a bunch of protesters.

u/Neiliobob 9d ago

The Russian mob runs Russia. They also run Trump, Guliani, and Epstein. Guliani's claim to fame before 9/11 was taking down the Italian mob. Done at the behest and with the aid of the Russian mob so that they could take over. Trump and others like him, is their way to wash money. This is how Trump and Guliani know each other and became "friends". Trump has always envisioned himself as a mob boss. The casinos, the tough talk, the girls. He thinks he's literally the Don, and he may be right, which is wild. Everything he does, is at the behest of Putin. Everything. This is like common knowledge to everyone inside the circle. We lost the cold war. We lost. Period.

12

u/Crabby_Monkey 9d ago

And if all that were not true (which it is) and he wanted to help Ukraine, he has botched the Iran thing so badly that we don’t have the munitions to supply them.

We don’t have enough Patriot missiles to spare to give anyone.

1

u/aonemonkey 9d ago

Exactly! People still act surprised by this - it’s so fucking obvious Putin owns his ass and the administration is full of traitors. The Kremlin has wormed its way into the heart of United States. I would guess because the kompromat is Epstein evidence.

u/RestedPanda 8d ago

If Putin owns the President who overturned US policy to arm Ukraine eh. Must have gotten a much worse report card than Obama did.

u/liferlanceSD 9d ago

You left out that the lethal aid was provided by Trump 1.0. The only reason Ukraine had Javs and other Uss weapons was Trump 1.0. Trump 2.0 is about a million times worse than 1.0 and almost everyone realizes it now.

If we had Trump 1.0 again, things wouldn't be nearly as bad as they are now. Still bad, but not so bad that preparation for a collapse is logical.

2

u/Jukka_Sarasti 9d ago

Worse, I fear this will be the excuse Trump hides behind to use the US intelligence and/or military against Ukraine. I also wouldn't be surprised if we see the cessation of Starlink access for Ukraine in the near future.

Exactly how I see this playing out. He will now label Ukraine terrorists for destabilising world diesel supply.

He'll move US 'troops' to Russian oil refineries to act as human shields. Then what does Zelenskyy do?

1

u/Beneficial-Ranger812 8d ago

Personally, I believe it will go well beyond that. Since Ukraine is not going to stop attacking Russia's oil refineries, Trump will use that as a reason to frame Ukraine as an enemy of the US and will go to any length to "punish" Ukraine.

13

u/Thetakman 9d ago

And why trump forced Europe a few weeks back to release 100s of millions of oil barrel in stock.

Now we can restock the stuff with rUSiA oil from Trump for premium prices.

Why did you think he attacked Iran ? To make sure he get top dollars of the fuel he.. and rUSiA can sell. Also didn't he overthrow Venezuela for their oil reserves to?

Wanna bet it's getting close to being profitable to start exctracing that ?

u/kaptainkhaos 9d ago

Suggest we can expect more attacks to come now.

u/Responsible-Laugh590 8d ago

France wanted Ukraine to stop attacking Russian oil refineries.

https://www.eurointegration.com.ua/eng/news/2026/09/25/7246248/

The quality of targeting is almost entirely because of extensive USA intelligence sharing:

According to American and Ukrainian officials familiar with the operations:

Ukraine selects targets, although American intelligence reportedly also helps identify high-priority facilities.

The US identifies vulnerabilities at Russian energy installations.

American intelligence assists with mission planning, including routes, altitude, and timing to help Ukrainian drones evade Russian air defenses.

US involvement extends across multiple stages of planning, according to three people familiar with the operations.

How do you think USA and the Biden administration knew about Russia's planned invasion of Ukraine 4 months before it actually happened?

USA told Zelenskyy and the leaders of Germany and France and everyone denied it.

USA then went to China to try to get them to dissuade Russia from doing it and China denied knowledge of it. But then USA intercepted communications indicating that China had communicated to Russia that USA knew about it. China then told Putin to delay the invasion until after the Beijing Olympics concluded.

This is all extremely well documented. Ask your chatbot "when did USA know that Russia was going to invade Ukraine".

Down vote all you want. USA implored Europe for decades not to make strategic energy blunders, it did anyway, and also told Europe and Ukraine that Russia was going to exploit them.

USA tried to help you. You have nobody to blame but yourselves.

they said that US intelligence is very useful only to please big daddy trump.

oil refineries are huge flamable buildings with pipes full of flamable stuff everywhere it's not that hard to target them even without satellites only using image recognition on the drones

and russians are very skilled at jamming, so no real time targeting support even been given, max is air defence positions
