#trump #diesel #russia - How Trump Is Selling Out Ukraine | The David Frum Show: The Atlantic

14 October 2026

In this episode of “The David Frum Show,” The Atlantic’s David Frum discusses President Trump’s announced diesel deal with Russia, the administration’s abandonment of Ukraine, and why Trump is giving up so much to gain very little. Then, David is joined from Kyiv by Illia Ponomarenko, a Ukrainian journalist and the author of the new book “The Land of Tears and Hope.” David and Illia talk about the history of Ukraine, its current state as the war with Russia rages on, and how and why the Trump administration seems so hostile to the country. Finally, David concludes with discussion about why so little literature exists about the history of slavery in Eastern Europe.

#diesel #trump #putin - The U.S. Tried to Choke Russia’s Energy Market. Then It Made a Diesel Deal: New York Times Podcasts

14 October 2026

President Trump announced a deal to purchase Russian diesel fuel and temporarily suspended sanctions in an effort to lower domestic fuel prices amid rising costs from the war in Iran and in anticipation of the upcoming midterms. This abrupt foreign policy shift stunned European allies and drew sharp criticism from Ukraine, which viewed the move as a weakening of Western leverage against Russia. Today, Anton Troianovski, a global affairs correspondent for The New York Times, discusses what the deal reveals about the Trump administration’s strategy with Russia, and how much it could actually lower prices at the pump.

Il principe ereditario saudita, Mohammed bin Salam lancia un severo ultimatum a Vladimir Putin, dichiarando, che se non interromperà, le forniture di armi ai nemici regionali, il mercato verrà inondato da un volume tale di petrolio, da distruggere il bilancio del Cremlino, come avvenuto ai tempi dell'Unione Sovietica.

#diesel #putin #trump - Zelensky Defies Trump, Strikes Putin Where It Hurts Most: The Bulwark

10 October 2025

Sam Stein and Catherine Rampell give their takes on Trump’s decision to buy oil from Putin, just weeks after Trump signed Lindsey Graham’s Russia sanctions bill into law. Instead of increasing pressure on Russia, Trump is opening the door to Russian fuel exports that could help bankroll Putin’s war on Ukraine. Plus, they examine the bill’s loopholes, whether the deal will actually lower fuel prices, and why Trump is pressuring Ukraine to stop attacking Russian oil refineries. As Zelensky pushes back, Trump’s deal risks a major rupture in U.S.-Ukraine relations.

Bulwark Takes

💩 Russia is supplying Iran with missiles that Tehran could use to attack the US and its allies According to Bloomberg, Moscow has begun supplying missiles to Iran. Earlier reports also indicated that Russia was providing Tehran with intelligence to help target American forces in the Middle East. Despite months of US and Israeli bombardment, Iran has preserved some of its missile and drone production facilities and can rapidly replenish its arsenals. Now, let's get back to Trump's diesel deal with Putin: 1️⃣ Trump eases sanctions, allowing Russia to make money from fuel exports. 2️⃣ Moscow gains additional opportunities to replenish its budget, which also funds military production. 3️⃣ Russia supplies missiles to Iran. 4️⃣ And Iran retains the ability to strike US military facilities and American allies. Absolutely genius! 👏

#russia #diesel #putin - Russian Diesel Deal Unlikely to Lower US Prices: Bloomberg Podcasts

10 October 2026

Bloomberg Economics Economic Statecraft Lead Chris Kennedy tells Bloomberg This Weekend that President Donald Trump's agreement to obtain Russian diesel is unlikely to significantly lower US fuel prices because the proposed November shipment amounts to roughly one day of American consumption.

Speaking with hosts David Gura and Christina Ruffini, Kennedy says damage to Russian refineries, logistical challenges and potential legal restrictions raise questions about whether Moscow can deliver the promised fuel, while the agreement could complicate Ukraine's campaign against Russian energy infrastructure.

#Russia #Trump #diesel - Trump backstabs allies, breaks sanctions for sudden Russian diesel deal: MS Now

10 October 2026

Jen Psaki reports on Donald Trump giving Russian President Vladimir Putin another big boost by dropping sanctions to allow Russia to move more diesel fuel to market and suggested the U.S. would be among the buyers.

Trump even thanked Putin even though the diesel release is not expected to be enough to change global diesel prices, but will yield billions for Russia to spend on its war against ostensible U.S. ally, Ukraine. Brett McGurk, former White House coordinator for the Middle East, joins to discuss.

👏 US Congress prepares to challenge Trump's diesel deal with Putin: Lawmakers want to block purchases of Russian fuel Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick says he has secured the support of at least 218 lawmakers — enough to initiate a procedure that would allow the bill to be brought to the House floor, bypassing the relevant committee and House leadership. The initiative is aimed at reversing the easing of restrictions on Russian fuel purchases following Trump's deal with Putin. And opposition is coming from both parties — Republicans and Democrats alike. The White House's decision effectively contradicts Congress's own efforts to tighten sanctions pressure on Russia. Of course, securing support for the procedure does not mean the bill will pass. But the political battle over Russian fuel in Washington is already gaining momentum.

#autos - Dieselgate: Exposing the Deadly Cover-Up: Best Documentary

30 December 2024

This investigation uncovers the truth behind one of the largest automotive scandals in history, known as Dieselgate. It began with three engineers in the United States who discovered that diesel cars, notably Volkswagen’s models, emitted far more pollutants on the road than during lab tests.

The revelation exposed deliberate software manipulation, allowing cars to cheat emissions regulations. The scandal rippled worldwide, implicating major European manufacturers like PSA and Renault.

Beyond corporate deceit, the documentary highlights its alarming public health consequences, with thousands of premature deaths linked to excessive pollution.

A gripping exposé on greed, accountability, and its impact on our environment. Original Title: Diesel, The Industry's Smokescreen Director : Jules Giraudat
