Putin has been playing Trump for over a decade, and and devoted MAGA people refuse to see it…

He is taking care of the people there. He can’t let them die. It’s under control.

Something about catching more flies with honey…

So Russia pretty much called his bluff and now’s he’s acting like it was no big deal?

I wouldn't take it at face value and assume that it's so black and white. There's a lot of politicking about the issues in the secondary and tertiary.

The Art of the Deal.

The Russian oil tanker will provide 100,000 tons of crude oil (~$80 million worth), or about 12 days of supply for Cuba. Cuba cannot afford to pay for it, so it's being given as a humanitarian gesture. The $80+million is money Russia won't reap for it's war.

The US initially balked at the Russo-Cuban effort, then allowed it ... after a deal. We approved the delivery only after the Cuban regime reversed itself and permitted fuel importation of diesel for our Embassy in Havana.

So rather than "TACO," it is a small bilateral strategic concession as behind the scene diplomatic talks are ongoing. It's a small enabler of larger negotiations between Havana and Washington over Cuba's political and economic future.

In that sense, it's similar to Pakistani tankers allowed passage through Hormuz as Pakistan actively plays intermediary in the Iran War.

This thread sucks - I’ve never seen such anti-American shite in my life.

The number of people who trash our country, because of who our current President is, makes me sick to my stomach.

I will never vote for another Democrat for as long as I live.

Supporting some of the woke shite is bad enough, but to cheer for other country’s? It’s insane.
