Do you think it's a coincidence that Zelensky just suddenly decided to start pounding the crap out of Russia's oil export infrastructure? They can sell more, true...but they have to do it through regular markets. Not their shadow fleet.

Do you want to imply Zelensky was somehow in on an ingenious master plan here, rather than acting under extreme pressure? He certainly doesn’t seem to know about it:

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has condemned a US decision to extend the period during which Russia is allowed to sell oil despite Western sanctions. The move means countries can purchase Russian oil and petroleum products already loaded on vessels at sea until 16 May.

The US argues that the waiver is meant to ease the energy supply crunch sparked by the US-Israel war with Iran. But in his remarks on Sunday, Zelensky said "every dollar paid for Russian oil is money for the war" in Ukraine.

Isn’t the more rational explanation that Trump makes it up as he goes along, while his advisers desperately try to prevent the worst, while you are trying to project strokes of genius he doesn’t possess?
