Intentionally helping Putin is one thing, Trump thinking he would win the war in one day and the real outcome is beneiftting Putin is another

Who? I don’t remember any western leader celebrating the attack on Iran. I’m not saying ir didn’t happen, just that I don’t remember seeing one.

They are talked about how Iran can never had an nuclear wespons when all indication says Iran is not seeking them. Canada and the EU added new sanctions on the missile program on Iran so it is harder for Iran to defend itself

Everything Trump does makes more sense if you ask yourself if it helps Putin.

And Israel. I think they both have the same dirt on him.

Different dirt initially. Mossad and the CIA ran a blackmail ring jointly and got Trump with Epstein. The Russians just invited him out to a bugged hotel and the obvious ensued. Both parties probably obtained more blackmail since, there are literal tonnes of evidence easily stolen from the FBI and Maralago

I guess this is countered by Ukraine repeatedly hitting their refineries

Here’s an infographic dated May 8th. The oil barrel in the bottom left shows the theoretical maximum impact of strikes if they somehow took all refineries they hit offline completely.

Ukraine is pretty good at targeting the right units when they hit a refinery, but it’s not perfect. Either way looking at economic output sources Russia made half as much money from oil last year as 2022, and the refinery strikes are picking up speed. Tuapse was a giant hit to them. Ukraine hit it 5 times in a row… Most of Russia’s biggest oil refineries feeding Europe have been hit repeatedly by long range drones.

Edit: clarity and structure.

This infographic is glorious.

The best part is it needs to be updated at least weekly

Not just putin, the oil companies that have been financing the GOP too. Plus the military industrial complex.

The whole thing has money written all over it. They don’t give a shit about lives. They aren’t worried about nukes no matter how much they want to prop up that straw man.

They won’t rest until they own it all and we all work for nothing.
