Donald Trump on Sunday called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to halt strikes on Russian diesel, saying the attacks are causing a fuel shortage.

Ukraine’s long-range strikes have been targeting Russia’s oil and gas industry for months, which Kyiv says both funds and directly fuels Moscow’s more than four-year-old invasion of its neighbor.

The Ukrainian drone campaign has caused fuel rationing across Russia, despite the country being a key oil and gas exporter. Other Ukrainian strikes targeted major Russian online retailers, bringing the war ever closer to the public.

If Ukraine keeps beating Russia, they may have to release the pee tapes

Unfortunately, they could release a 4k dolby atmos IMAX film of trump raping a schoolbus full of kindergardners, and MAGA would foam at the mouth trying to defend it. I don't think anything can touch him at this point.

100% this. At this point all the "ohh, but don't talk about (shitty thing The Dictator did this week), talk about the Epstein files" bullshit is just a smoothly running distraction campaign that works for MAGA.

American's do not care that Trump is a rapist and a paedophile. They made their peace with that long ago and elected him anyway.

Honestly, I can't even understand the motivation. "Ohh, if only the Great American People knew he diddled kids, we'd get rid of him. The millions of dead overseas (between wars started or extended and USAID), the rebuilding of the US Federal machine as a tool of fascist oppression, state control of media, masked goons disappearing people in the street, all of that stuff we're pretty fine with, but diddling some white blonde kids is where we draw the line." Do you think this makes you look good?

I've already seen people on Facebook saying "I don't care if he's a pedo as long as he deports all the criminals", and things can get even worse on the front of defending Trump...

Someone always comes along with almost exactly this reply, as if its a valid reason to keep hiding whichever gross pedo evidence is in question.

Its a valid point though, there is enough out there now to bury anyone in a real nation. In the us they have punished the victims and paid the perpetrators. Its not as if they should not release more info, more that just releasing it does nothing if no charges are laid.
