A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. βIronicβ prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

π¨ BREAKING: Trump says Putin has agreed to supply millions of tons of diesel fuel, promising record-fast price drops for Americans and global markets. full story : https://realnarrativenews.com/read/s72qeqsad/
Art of the deal
Sanctions on Russia. Nuclear Agreement with Iran. Tariffs on goods. Give that money to Russia. Remove nuclear agreement. Blame Iran.
This administration is the worst thing to happen to the world in quite a while. I hate using comparisons but you all know what it is.
All of this to slight of hand away from Trump-Epstein. All of this while supporting genocide. I know this is a little bit of an echo chamber, but JFC how is a single person in support of anything happening.
It's not going to get here soon enough, if it arrives at all, to save your ass. Tons is an odd measurement of fuel over barrels but: a barrel of diesel weighs about 300lb. 300,000 * 2000 (lb per ton) = 600,000,000 lbs of diesel / 300 = 2 million barrels. The US uses about 3.5 million barrels a day. Even if the tons are metric it's still just a days worth. Sorry Donnie you are a day late and a dollar short...
And you still have to substract the boats that have some smoking incident along the way. Things happen when a war is going on.
If metric tonnes that's 1000 kg (1 Megagram if you will) = 2200 lbs. 10% more is 2.2 million barrels. Barely any more.
How does Russia sudenly have so much fuel to "give away", when they had shortages themselves?
Hes gonna use this as an excuse to go to war with Ukraine as they continue their defensive campaign to stop the invasion.
He thinks this will help him in the midterms. Idiot.
Oh what the fucking fuck
edit: i haven't seen this anywhere else yet, hoping it's not real
I'm gonna assume its not real. OP account is 2 weeks old and has 3 posts, all are the same "screenshot"
Just because is may be true does not mean that dencooper824 (cake day 9/25/26) is not an agent, GOPer, Russian, or other.
Indeed. Already tagged, if they keep posting more of silly stuff, gonna be a blocking.
I looked it up and it looks like it's from today: https://rollcall.com/factbase/trump/topic/social/?platform=all&sort=date&sort_order=desc&page=1
Haha. So its not untrue, just completely fucking stupid.
Excellent.

OP should post a link with such a screenshot, though. Basic information hygiene.
I think it might be real unfortunately. https://kyivindependent.com/trump-says-russia-agreed-to-supply-millions-of-tons-of-diesel-to-us-global-markets/
Stealing a response from u/Ok_Aspect2804
300,000 tons is roughly 2.2 million barrels β about half a day of total U.S. distillate use.
Strait is still closed and inflation/gas prices continue to rise.
Thank you Donald Trump, so much winning!
So he's funding Russia, and barely offsetting the price of fuel for starting a war with Iran, and ignoring all the other issues he's caused.
Trump says a lot of bullshit, and unfortunately for him the Russian sanctions are an actual act of Congress his dumbass can't get around by declaration, and Congress recessed early by Republican decree so it can't even strike the sanctions before the midterms LMAO.
Thanks for pointing that out. actually lol'd. Looking forward to excellent Midterm turnout and results.
