Oh my, by all means please do!

Why? Why is that good? What if supply stays low and prices stay high? What if the stockpile is still depleted in two or three years, and Russia takes the chance to invade while Europe has nothing to power their industry and tanks?

Why must the energy transition be "move fast and break everything" while the industry and households suffer under the strain of high prices?

It could have been so smooth, it could have gone so well, but the world went mad...

Why doesn't he ban exports right away, forcing Europe to use their stockpiles anyways?

Is it that he can't? So the entire threat is moot?

Is he thinking of using the Graham bill to threaten +100% tarrifs for buying Russian gas?

If he bans exports the EU is screwed over. It will destroy what little good will the EU has towards the US. It will cause the EU to double down on Chinese partnerships and you will see the EV transition happen faster ESPECIALLY in the Semi Truck space.

Since when is bullying other countries alright? Those are strategic reserves for real emergencies. To keep the show going _at all_.

What a fucking narcistic war monger clique.

But you don't understand, the midterms are an emergency!

This is the real heart of the problem.

Trump literally CANNOT admit he made a mistake.

Nixon may have been a corrupt sleaze ball but he knew he had to get out of Vietnam because it was destroying America and so he did.

kasperni•49m ago
Yeah, he is just going to ban it anyway a month from now. So EU will be at the mercy of USA/Russia.
Frieren•46m ago
The US has become a very short-term individual interest focused country. There is no long term vision for the country, there is no care for their own citizens, only today's president's interest matter. Tomorrow doesnt exists. screw-the-future is their warmongering motto.

This goes beyond the price of diesel. It is an attack on basic survivability of the nations that may depend on that reserves in the future.

Never vote for a death cult.

Every day I wake up, open the news, and let out a slightly louder breath out of my nostrils at the latest boutade from Trump. Then I go out with my day because nothing he says is relevant in any way.

Fuck the US. Trash country run by trash people.
