Aren’t we buying oil from Russia, which is being shipped from Iran, which is being paid for by Russia in missiles, which Iran then ships to American military bases?

And we’re only getting like 9 days worth of oil out of it? So we’re sacrificing American military lives for oil. Oh, wait, this is America. Still angry about this and confused why it’s not treason. I wish there was an ELI5 how this isn’t treason.

It’s more like 1.5 days. It was all a scheme to remove Russian sanctions for benefit of Vladimir. Mission Accomplished!

All planned shipments together total out to slightly over 9½ days of diesel.

Regardless, it’s marginal and will provide no noticeable benefit to Americans. This literally benefits no one except Russia. It’s a blatant act of perfidy for absolutely no reason. It’s an example of both how incredibly poor Trump’s judgement is and his utter lack of principles.
