The Russia/Ukraine War and the diesel fuel problem...

Right on schedule: Zelensky is now the scapegoat for diesel inflation a month before the midterms. "He wants to make problems for our farmers, our ranchers with diesel fuel because Russia supplies a large portion of the diesel fuel throughout the world. And we told them ‘Do whatever you want, but don’t hit the diesel fuel, because this is a big problem, a big shortage’. And what does he do? He goes and hits the diesel fuel." And from last night...

Quite honestly this was bound to happen.

Even I saw this coming and that's saying something.  Fact.  The US did plea with Zelensky to stop hitting Russian refineries.  Fact.  This issue isn't just hitting the US but also Europe and Asia.

Apparently Zelensky didn't give a fuck.

He kept hitting the facilities and that has put ever consumer on the planet behind an eight ball.  Whether the nature worshippers like it or not but our economy is built on oil and probably will be for the foreseeable future.

By targeting Russia's oil they have essentially targeted their supporters.

Supporters of Ukraine are gonna have a hard time squaring this circle when the facts are carefully debated.

This is happening at a critical time too.  Winter is coming and you can bet big money that Puting is getting ready to make a serious run at Ukraine's power facilities.  

Ukraine is entering a season where it will be extremely vulnerable while alienating at least one of its biggest supporters (not even gonna touch on how badly Zelensky handled the Korean POW situation).

The supported is acting as if they're the lead.  They're not.  Zelensky will realize this shortly.
