Russia will dispatch its first tanker with diesel for the United States on Thursday, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said, according to the Vedomosti news outlet, after a deal with Donald Trump.
Russia lifted its self-imposed ban on diesel exports on October 9, introduced to tackle domestic shortages triggered by Ukrainian drone attacks on refineries, after reaching the deal with Trump to supply diesel to global markets.
Novak said on Wednesday the vessel will carry 40,000 metric tons of the fuel, adding that the paperwork on the fuel supply is nearing its completion, according to media reports. He did not name the port from which the cargo will be delivered.
The spit in the ocean amount of diesel that Russia is sending us prior to the election to paste over the GOP tanking of the economy will hopefully not work. Fuck Putin and fuck Trump and all his myopic cronies.
It won’t work. This isn’t winning anybody. It won’t affect prices and people hate it, even a lot of conservatives.
It won’t change prices at all.
But it gives them a working premise that eventually enough will come to effect prices.
What’s really going to hurt is harvesting, because many states opened up red diesel for red use already. One of the big reason it’s separated from the rest of the supply is to control prices. When there’s less, the price goes up. They can’t counter that without buying more diesel, dying it red, and selling at a loss.
This is just the thiniest excuse for people to ignore this one issue and still vote Republican.
It’s a total desperation move.
Red diesel just means it has no road taxes applied
I don’t many people are using it. AFAIK, only states were lifting the restriction, which they technically can’t do since it includes federal taxes
Also that dye is designed to be visible for a very long time. I used red diesel in my heater once last winter and the red is still visible even though I’ve gone through a dozen tanks of kerosene since
…
Red diesel is diesel saved for agriculture use…
It’s dyed red, to show that’s what it’s for.
Now, I answered a question without you even asking one, please answer one I’m asking:
What did you think the point of saying it red was?
Traitor president makes pointless deal with America’s enemy to boost midterm odds.
Does it work?
Venezuela could do the funniest thing right now.
America is like a crack addict but with oil. Break into your house and steal your shit. Rob people on the street. Lie, cheat, extort, and murder to get it. And sell out friends and step on friends in need to get it.
It’s called Quid Pro Quo folks.
