A cause of the high cost of diesel fuel

"In early July [2026], a barrage of Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy infrastructure forced Moscow — one of the world’s top fuel exporters — to halt its exports of diesel."

"US intel sharing rebounds with Ukraine" https://www.politico.com/news/2026/08/05/us-ukraine-intelligence-sharing-01026525

So the US provided intelligence to Ukraine which enabled Ukraine to attack Russian oil refineries.

And now you wonder why diesel fuel costs so much?

And who supported this intelligence sharing with Ukraine?

Per the cited article, for example,

"Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the intelligence committee’s ranking member and a longtime proponent of more U.S. assistance to Ukraine, told POLITICO he sees evidence of an improved intel-sharing agreement — and believes it’s helped Kyiv gain an advantage in Moscow’s four-year-long war."

Gee thanks, Senator Warner, thanks to you and your fellow Ukraine supporters in the US Congress, diesel fuel costs so much.

Why do so many members of the US Congress support Ukraine in its conflict with Russia? I don't know for sure, but here's a possibility: that is what their campaign donors want.

In any case, the allegiance of these members of Congress to Ukraine is a major problem.

Why are these lawmakers such stooges of Ukraine?

Americans who support Ukraine's push to join NATO should be asked this question:

If, during the Cold War era, Canada and Mexico has joined the Warsaw Pact, how would you have felt about that?
