Readonly proposed to set two prices at gas stations for each type of fuel: one for people who would not have a problem with trading with Russia and welcomed reasonable prices, and one for those who, according to his statement, justified the purchase of Russian fuel through intermediaries in the USA for moral reasons – regardless of the price. He asked whether this proposal was acceptable. #Energiepolitik #Treibstoffpreise #Russland (translated)

GFrei.News wrote that Trump ordered three million tons of cheap diesel from Putin to relieve the US fuel market. Trump had previously been on the path to making the USA safer and more prosperous, improving the country overall. Due to his great success, he had been persuaded into an "Iran adventure," which led to renewed war, diminished morale, and a decline in his global approval. At the same time, the increased fuel costs due to high oil prices had eroded the price advantages. Now Trump has changed course and purchased large quantities of cheap diesel from Russia, GFrei.News wrote. Three million tons corresponded to the entire consumption of the USA in a week and would significantly relieve the market. Meanwhile, his own representatives were taking turns in Ukraine to pursue joint projects with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, each taking billions in taxpayer money. Meanwhile, the domestic economy was close to zero growth and facing bankruptcies, it was further stated. #Trump #Diesel #Russland (translated)

BrennpunktUA wrote that the US midterm elections are in three weeks, and by then no Russian diesel will reach the USA. Trump knows this and doesn't really need the fuel but is looking for someone to blame for the high diesel prices, according to the author's assessment. Trump had already tried to blame Ukraine a few weeks ago. This attempt failed because the situation with Iran and in the SoH is 90 percent responsible for price development. Given the poor prospects for the Republicans, Trump is now once again trying to bring a deal with Putin into play. BrennpunktUA advised Ukraine not to attack Russian refineries in the coming three weeks and instead focus on other strategic targets. Otherwise, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy could fall into Trump's trap. The author also asked where the diesel was suddenly supposed to come from and wrote that the fuel shortage in Russia is not over, and the country continues to import refined fuel for its own population. From his experience, nothing happens in the last four weeks before a major US election that is not related to the election. Trump will try to lower gas prices with PR actions in the coming three weeks and present this as his own success. If the Democrats get outraged over Trump's push for Russian diesel, they could also fall into the trap, BrennpunktUA wrote. Trump could then present himself as the one ensuring that Americans can afford their fuel fill-up. #Trump #USA #Wahlen (translated)

US President Donald Trump announced that he has agreed with Russian President Vladimir Putin that Russia will supply over 300,000 tons of diesel immediately and another 500,000 tons in November to the USA and the global market to lower fuel prices. #Trump #Russland #DieselLieferung (translated)

The author called for an immediate ban on diesel cars and advocated for not allowing any new diesel vehicles. In his view, Europe must free itself from dependence on diesel. Every liter of fossil fuel saved means fewer oil imports, reduced dependence on authoritarian exporting countries, and cleaner air. https://t.co/hv71fKFCBc #Dieselverbot #Umweltschutz #FossileEnergien #EU #DE (translated)

U.M. OSINT reported that Israel had only completely blocked aid deliveries twice since October 7, 2023. The first blockade commenced on October 9, 2023; Egypt had also closed the Rafah crossing at that time. Starting at the end of October, Israel allowed aid deliveries to pass again—initially without fuel. According to quantities reported by COGAT, the deliveries later even exceeded pre-war levels. A second complete blockade lasted from March 2 to May 18, 2025, totaling 77 days. According to U.M. OSINT, Israel justified it with Article 23, Paragraph 2 of the Fourth Geneva Convention: deliveries must not be allowed if they cannot be effectively controlled or provide a concrete military or economic advantage to the opponent. At that time, Israel assumed that Hamas and others were hoarding food. There were also short-term closures following shelling, including on May 5, 2024. As evidence, U.M. OSINT referred to aerial images of the Kerem Shalom crossing, which he designated as the most important crossing for deliveries. A photo taken on October 30, 2023, showed the crossing closed. On June 3, 2024, trucks were waiting on the Egyptian side while the Israeli depot was empty and the Palestinian depot was full; northwest of there, a kilometer-long queue of trucks had formed for pickup. According to his post, these vehicles came from the UN or cooperating NGOs that had employed Palestinian transport companies or mercenaries. A photo from November 5, 2024, showed a similarly full Palestinian depot but no waiting delivery trucks. U.M. OSINT interpreted this as an indication of higher throughput by COGAT. Images from February 2026 showed fewer waiting trucks and still some pallets; the Palestinian side apparently managed to handle the supply. Additionally, U.M. OSINT wrote that UN Secretary-General António Guterres stated on December 2, 2024, that in the previous month, 90 percent of the aid trucks had been looted—98 out of 109. According to his account, UN publications confirmed that this had been ongoing for months. Publicly, this was primarily interpreted as a sign of hunger among Palestinians; however, the looting was mostly attributed to armed groups. An OCHA report from September 17, 2025, according to U.M. OSINT, reported 432 "malnutrition-related deaths," including 146 children. Data published by the Ministry of Health indicated 4 such deaths in 2023, 49 in 2024, and 260 between January and August 27, 2025. For comparison, he cited a total of 77 deaths due to malnutrition in England and Wales in 2022, as well as 436 cases where it had played a role. The medical term "malnutrition" (ICD E40–E46), according to his account, also includes deaths related to birth defects, genetic disorders, or cancer and does not necessarily mean that the affected individuals had insufficient food available. On May 21, 2025, the then UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Coordinator Tom Fletcher warned that 14,000 babies could die within 48 hours. At that time, the crossing was reportedly already open again, according to U.M. OSINT. He welcomed the interest in the aerial images and stated that they confirmed his and others’ earlier representations. At the same time, he accused some observers in a derogatory manner of not looking closely enough. #Israel #Gazastreifen #HumanitäreKrise (translated)

Das Ende der Sterne von Peter Heller Übersetzt vonEva Bonné Nach einer globalen Katastrophe hat Hig noch drei Dinge, für die es sich zu leben lohnt: Seinen Hund Jasper, seinen aggressiven, aber hilfsbereiten Nachbarn, und seine Cessna. Solange er nur Kurzstrecken fliegt und Treibstoff spart, kommt er über die Runden. Doch eines Tages empfängt er eine Nachricht von einem anderen Piloten. Gibt es irgendwo dort draußen noch ein anderes, ein besseres Leben? Diese Frage lässt Hig nicht mehr los, und schließlich folgt er der Stimme aus seinem Funkgerät und fliegt los, obwohl er genau weiß, dass er nicht genug Treibstoff hat, um wieder nach Hause zurückzukehren. Was er dort draußen erlebt, ist beängstigender und lebensbejahender als alles, was er sich je hätte vorstellen können …

The Australian exchange student criticized the federal government for referring to a reduction in fuel taxes as a fuel discount. In his opinion, fuel should be taxed at exactly 0 percent. He wrote that citizens should now be grateful that they would be slightly less exploited for a few months and described the approach as one of the most brazen actions of the federal government. #Steuersenkung #Tankrabatt #Bundesregierung (translated)

"Bis 2030 werden die meisten afrikanischen Länder selbstversorgend sein. Sie werden dann von anderen afrikanischen Ländern Treibstoff kaufen. Es spielt keine Rolle, wo Erdöl raffiniert wird, aber es sollte auf afrikanischem Boden sein."Es entstünden voraussichtlich 60.000 neue Arbeitsplätze, sagt Unternehmer Dangote: #Erdölraffinerie #Kenia #Afrika

Italy wants to delay the disastrous CO2 pricing of heating oil, natural gas, and fuels - the ETS2 - together with the Czech Republic. Now it is extremely important that Germany joins such an initiative. However, since Friedrich Merz has recently been playing the full-fledged climate chancellor again to win the favor of his red-green friends, the chances for reason are rather slim. Would the chances be better with Boris Rhein? #Klimapolitik #CO2Bepreisung #Energiepreise (translated)
