USA bruger ca. 2,8 millioner tons olie om dagen. I stedet for at øge sin import af olie fra Canada, synes præsident Trump, at det vil være en langt bedre ide, at fylde Putins lommer. Oven i hatten, praler han med nyheden og lancerer den, som om der var opnået noget ekstraordinært fantastisk. Var nogen i tvivl før, bør enhver tvivl på nuværende tidspunkt være fordampet! Det amerikanske eksperiment, har slået fejl. Ultrakapitalisme pakket ind i drømmen om, at du kan opnå alt, hvad du kan forestille dig, er blevet købt af os alle. Risikoen ved den manglende regulering af, hvad der må gøres af magthaverne i et samfund, er da i dén grad blevet understreget af den nuværende administration i US. ‐----------------------- POTUS skriver på Truth Social: "I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter. Additionally, based on the condition of their Diesel Refineries, Russia will then deliver, within a short period of time, 3,000,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel. Between our TOTAL CONTROL of the Strait of Hormuz, and this great announcement on Russian Energy, Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST! Lower prices for Americans, especially our Great Farmers, Ranchers, and Truckers, is my Greatest Priority. This is a very big and important announcement. Additionally, it must be understood, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

They were the bully of the Middle East. They're not so much the bully anymore, but we have to finish up.
