Diesel fuel shortage: Why is no one talking about this?

[vantexan]

Exactly! They are high, but that’s in response to natural market, fluctuations of supply and demand! We were never going to run out of diesel. That’s what Tucker was claiming.

How come gas prices have come down a bit but not diesel? Because Biden released over half our strategic reserves which was used to make gasoline to win votes. Still low on diesel. If there was plenty of diesel those prices would've come down by now.

Russia didn't invade Ukraine under Trump. We have a weak president that causes bad actors to salivate.

First you claim Biden is weak but also think he’s responding too heavily and offering too much support to the Ukraine. So which is it?

Both.

Biden projects weakness, emboldening our enemies to do things like invade Ukraine. He basically told reporters he would let Putin invaded. And so he did.

He's a Democrat, so his "support" is to just rain taxpayer money on them with absolutely no oversight. Ukraine has long been one of the most corrupt countries in Europe, and Biden is showering them with unaccountable billions.

His weakness invited Russia in. His "helping" Ukraine involves throwing tens of billions of money at defense contractors. When are you going to learn that we're in a constant state of war because the defense contractors contribute a heck of a lot of money to campaign coffers? Trump had to go because he was pulling us out of a 20 year cash cow and determined to keep us out of other conflicts if possible. To keep the scam going they had to get rid of him. Amazes me that Democrats used to be anti war but now whole heartedly support it if it keeps them in power. Why do you think, beyond the climate change clatter trap, Biden denied oil company access to Federal land? It gets us back in the Middle East where conflict is guaranteed. When will you stop waving your partisan flag and realize your vote is being used to keep our tax dollars at war?

It's not just military spending.

We have given Ukraine billions of dollars that they are using to prop up their pension fund, socialized healthcare, and welfare system.

We aren't just helping them fight Russia, we are literally funding their entire economic system with US taxpayer dollars.

Agree, but most of what we've spent so far went to defense contractors. Apparently Ukraine was using some of our tax dollars to invest in FTX, which was then funneling money into Dem campaign coffers. It's a scam.

I don't think that's true.
In August we sent another 5.5 billion. Only 1 billion of that was military aid.

As of May the spending between two bills was $54.7 billion. The single biggest expenditure was military but more than half was economic aid. You are correct that a lot of money is going to Ukraine with no accountability.
