US lifts some restrictions on Russian oil, considers more actions to ‘unsanction’ it as prices spike​

The U.S. is lifting some restrictions on Russian oil and considering more actions to “unsanction” it as the conflict in Iran raises prices globally, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Friday.

Bessent told Fox Business that the U.S. would allow India to buy Russian barrels.

Russia is providing intelligence to Iran on the location of U.S. forces, sources say​

WASHINGTON — Russia is providing intelligence to Iran on the location of U.S. forces in the Middle East, a boost for Tehran as it launches missile and drone attacks on American bases and other targets in the region, according to four sources with knowledge of the matter.

The intelligence assistance from Russia could help Iran locate American warships, radar or other communication systems, but there is no indication Moscow is helping direct Iranian missile or drone strikes, the sources said.

I'm having difficulty reckoning with these stories. Why would we reward an enemy helping an enemy to kill Americans by allowing it to make more money from oil sales to fund its war with Ukraine? Making the timing of this all the more peculiar.

Trump and Putin discuss end to Iran and Ukraine wars on call​

President Trump spoke on the phone with Russian leader Vladimir Putin Monday and discussed the war with Iran and the efforts to end the war in Ukraine, the Kremlin said.

Why it matters: This was the first call between Trump and Putin since the beginning of the war with Iran.

Russia is a key ally of Iran and U.S. officials are concerned it is helping the Iranians in their war effort.

• Trump downplayed that scenario, but White House envoy Steve Witkoff told reporters on Saturday that he has communicated to Russian officials that they shouldn't share any intelligence with Iran.

Is Don's affection for Putin more important than Russia aiding an enemy during a war? Does this mean trump Tower Moscow is still on the table? Is he getting money from India? What gives?

What’s “conflicting” about it? We want to end wars and make peace.

Russia shouldn’t be our enemy. Islamic terror regimes are our enemy.
Russia is a Christian nation, we can find common ground.

If we stop funding and backing Ukraine, Russia can stop helping Iran, and both will want to end their wars.

Iran war: Hegseth says Tuesday 'will be our most intense day of strikes'

This comes the day after Generalissimo trump said we are pretty much done with Iran. They couldn't decide on a consistent rationale for starting the war and now they don't know if it's ending or intensifying.

Nope, the Russian people aren’t our enemy. Neither are the Ukrainian people or the non-Muslim Iranians.

Russia most certainly is a Christian nation made up of majority Christians. Putin is not seeking our destruction. He has a bigger nuclear arsenal than we do. He could easily attack us and wipe us out. He could easily provide nukes to Islamic terrorists to use on us. He hasn’t. Unlike you, he doesn’t actually hate Americans.

About 1 hour ago the Dow futures were up about 100 points based on what Dotard said yesterday. Now they are down 200 based on what Pistol Pete just said today.

Well the only way to get Muslims to come to the table and make peace is hammering them hard.

You clearly don’t understand what it takes to put Muslims in their place.

Actually, the Mullahs of Iran are the ones who started it. They are the ones who have killed American servicemen, shouted "death to America" and have even tried to whack President Trump himself.

Mixed messages from Trump leave more questions than answers over war's end

The US president has tried to soothe nerves over oil and markets, but his comments still lack clarity, writes Anthony Zurcher.

www.bbc.com

He's not in control of himself. One moment he says the war is almost over and the next he wants to bomb Iran intensely.

 

[berg80]

Actually, the Mullahs of Iran are the ones who started it. They are the ones who have killed American servicemen, shouted "death to America" and have even tried to whack President Trump himself.

Funny that the regime didn't use that as a rationale to start the war. But I'll add it to the ever changing list.

 

[berg80]

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth vowed that Tuesday would be the “most intense day” of American strikes against Iran since the start of the war, after President Trump sent mixed signals about a possible end to the conflict.

“The most fighters, the most bombers, the most strikes,” Mr. Hegseth said at a news conference at the Pentagon alongside Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Mr. Hegseth’s comments were among several indicating that the main parties in the war were sticking to their positions, with no talk of diplomatic efforts to end a conflict that has killed over 1,000 people and that has seriously disrupted global energy markets.

On Monday, Mr. Trump said the conflict could end “very soon” before warning of even more aggressive action if Iranian leaders continue to choke off oil tanker traffic.

The "leader of the free world" is an unstable nitwit who contradicted himself on the end to the war within hours.

 

[berg80]

The nice way the describe Dotard is that he's mercurial. The not so nice way is to say he's unstable, reckless, unhinged, and untethered from reality. After all, he still thinks he won the 2020 election.

You do know Europe is still buying Russian Oil and Gas, and has been since the start of the war, right?

 

[berg80]

Funny you can’t refute anything I said

Been there, done that.

"Nope, the Russian people aren’t our enemy."

You realize how disingenuous that assertion is, right? Putting aside the enormous amount of state controlled media propaganda used by Putin to convince the citizenry we are their enemy, what material difference does it make considering he is in sole control of Russian foreign policy? A policy seeking to take down all the Western democracies.

Perhaps your judgement as to whether Russia is our enemy has been clouded by trump's friendly relationship with Vlad. Or, you're just stupid. Either way, it doesn't change the reality that Russia is an adversary.
