Remember all the hoopla about Trump the Magnificent helping we Proles by doing a deal with Putin to obtain more diesel?
Seems the need for that show has passed.
Putin’s diesel delivery to the US veers off course
Two tankers reportedly carrying Russian diesel to the US appear to have veered off course.
The apparent change of direction of the two sanctioned tankers, first reported by the Financial Times, suggests Donald Trump's Russian diesel deal has run into trouble.
...it (the deal) was seen as a last-ditch effort by Mr Trump to appease voters in rural states, where farmers have been particularly affected by rising diesel prices driven by his war with Iran.
One tanker, called Talisman, had reportedly listed the US Atlantic coast as its destination. But shipping data showed it was off the coast of Algeria, heading in the opposite direction.
Leruo, another tanker apparently carrying Russian diesel and at one time heading for the US, appears to be destined for Brazil.
An additional tanker appeared to still be en route to the US, the Financial Times said.yahoo.com - Putin diesel delivery US veersCynics among us (me waving hand) might suggest that the "deal" was nothing but a show for voters. The fuel was never headed to the US. The typical "JC" ploy, again: make it look like you will give the Proles what they want, to get what the "JC" wants from them, then take away what was promised to the Proles.
