The first oil tankers scheduled to deliver Russian diesel to the US under a deal between President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin have changed course and are no longer heading toward the US coast. It spells the end of an agreement announced with great fanfare before the midterms.

    Sounds like Russian used trump to get the tankers out to the ocean, and are now going to sell it to other countries for more.

    They might show up with mostly empty tanks and say what’s left is all we were ever going to get and that was the agreement.

    Like splitting a soda with someone and they drink “their half” first and give you a sip of backwash

    trumps out of power essentially, he’s of no use now and may not even be able to pay for the Dieselif it all ever showed up

    Either Russia lied to us, or this was the agreement the whole time. You can tell which by how much noise little t makes about it. No noise? It’s the latter.

      It seems like a humilation ritual to me. Putin doesn’t care about the diesel, only that Trump bends to such a stupid idea.
