Did you know that Trump is now trying to control who other countries buy oil from?

To be fair That's USA vice since the birth of the country. Even with whale oil for lamps and early machine of the industrial revolution.

We fucked over south America for oil and bananas. If wonder why some of those countries are so unstable and immigration is so large it's that.

Usa also over threw the democratic government of Iran for short term gains and got a theocracy started that then hates usa meddling. We also side with Saudi Arabia who would organize the 9/11 attack and we are still siding with them for oil.

Trump can’t change the world to meet his selfish endeavors,

The world spins , you can’t stop it.

As the world turns away Pumping Oil and Fossil Fuels to combat the climate crisis / environmental disasters , there will be less demand for that stuff except for America if our weak leadership continue down energy dependence on The Middle East.

USA (300 million pop) Consumes more energy and fuel than China (2.1 billion population) , We can fix this and waste less energy which allows us to be independent from the world however Trump wants us hooked on Corporations, specifically Big Oil.

[Opinion Owner]

Batteries , Energy Storage , Wind & Solar , Natural Gas , etc. technologies have come a long way and have been making great progress in the last few decades to becoming more efficient.
We should minimize the energy consumption and maximize the output utilizing our American knowhow that has been dominant for centuries. Don’t let Trump fool you.

What that man-baby wanna be dictator does, doesn't;t surprise me anymore. I'll be so glad when he's gone.

[jazzy34]

He thinks everything can be bought and sold... He wanted to purchase Canada, remember?

[Shiprex]

Of course he thinks he can because he is using US economic leverage to manipulate others to fulfil the desires of who paid to get him where he is

[Sevenpointfive]

he's kind of got a point even if i wouldn't side with it. if there was a record of sending troops, ammo, planes, guns, bombs, iron domes too on the nose? he's the most hypocritical person ever! i can do that but you can't do that

[slatyb]

Countries buying oil from Russia are complicit in the murder of the Ukrainian people.

[DrPepper12]

Can't piss off Daddy Vladdy directly!! Gotta do it INDIRECTLY and the bonus is harming brown people! Fucking tool.

[goaded]

Isn't that secondary sanctions on Russia? That seems reasonable.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Il Duce and the Moustachioed Madman must be cheering from H**l !!!

[Chazmatazz269]

I don’t recall you whinging about Biden’s arrogance when he did it.
Your willful ignorance is disturbing.

[msc545]

@chazmatazz269 Your constant "whataboutisms" regarding Biden are ignorant and disturbing.

[dustybiker2]

There is always an end.

[exitseven]

This is an effort to end the war in Ukraine. It is a plan to economically cripple Russia and force Putin to end it

[dustybiker2]

@exitseven 🥱

[exitseven]

@dustybiker2 Wouuld you rather this war go in another4 years? At least Trump is trying g to bring an end to it. Biden just told Zalensky that the US would give him whatever it takes

[msc545]

Horseshit. Like the Russians will even listen to him...

[exitseven]

The oil business is Putins biggest source of money. Cut that off and he is done d

[dustybiker2]

@exitseven Trump has zero control over Russia.

[exitseven]

@dustybiker2 I guess we will see if he can get other countries esides India to stop buying Russian oil and see how it goes

[dustybiker2]

"90 deals in 90 days." 6 mo the later = nothing.
How long will you believe his lies?

[dustybiker2]

*months

[exitseven]

@dustybiker2 Trump had deals with the EU, Japan, Vietnam , and has levied tariffs on the o nes that fell behind. Good luck to Brazil and Switzerland when they have to eat the coffee and watches.

[dustybiker2]

@exitseven Did you see the replies from those countries after trump said that?

[dustybiker2]

Hate to break it to you. trump
Doesn't know how yo tell the truth.

[dustybiker2]

*to
(Sticky fingers mind my typos)

[exitseven]

@dustybiker2 no, but it doesn't really matter. The US is rhe biggest and most lucrative market in rhe world. It is the major trading partner for many countries. Some of these countries will have a hard time making up that revenue. There have been some stocks in Swiss companies that have taken a nosedive in anticipation of lost revenue. They will not be the only one. Trump is not only reshaping the way America does business he is changing the landscape of the whole world

[dustybiker2]

And reality is. The world could deal and manage just fine without the US for the full length of trumps
term if they so wished.
Europe welcomed Canadian goods with open arms. All trump accomplished was teach Canada it needs to stop relying so heavily on the US and to buff up its own border security. Something that was completely unnecessary before a criminal took over US office.
Other countries are self sufficient or have others outside of US for support:
Nothing is happening to Swiss companies: that is trump clearly and openly lying.

[exitseven]

@dustybiker2 The stock market says differently. Trump is dealing from a position of strength. Canada needs the US a lot more than the US needs, Canada

[dustybiker2]

@exitseven Right. And trump has a 70% + approval rating currently. Give me a break. You aren't this stupid.

[exitseven]

@dustybiker2 I know that democrats want to see Trump fail even though it is bad for America but so far, so good.

[Amy10223]

Exitseven, all Trump did was blame the war on Zelensky as if he began it. Embarrassed him in the meeting he had with him where Zelensky walked out. Putin won't listen to Trump, either. You forget we have good memories.

[Amy10223]

Japan has said NO to Trump's deals. I've read about it.

[exitseven]

@Amy10223 The facts is Japan pays the US 15% and the US pays 0%,

[msc545]

@exitseven Why do you keep supporting a mentally ill criminal who just keeps failing and lying?

[dustybiker2]

@exitseven Dems don't want him to fail. They live in the US too. That would be republican thinking as they are too dim to plan ahead to outcomes of choices, too busy being vindictive.

People want to be able to afford to eat and fill their tanks with gas, go to their doctors and have it covered, receive their lifetime paid into ssi. They want their gardeners to show up each week without having been being stolen off the street and shopped to a GD hilter wannabe hell camp without a legal judge-signed warrant. You know stuff you expect to have in the US in 2025 not 1950.

Prove the trade deal. Let's see the solid copies. Every country has stated there are no trade deals, not one.
Even the Brit micro car chat had a line at the bottom that it was not a binding contract but a conversation.

[exitseven]

@dustybiker2 No TODAYS Rasmussen poll has him at only 52%.

[noohair]

He is trying to stop Putin in Ukraine.
