Who believes this bullshit? Oh, and the president of the United States, just last night, said he’s totes cool with the cities of Los Angeles and San Diego, millions of American lives, being wiped off the planet by a nuclear bomb. Don’t let this get swept into the dust bin of chump’s crazy 🤬.

No Mr Wright. You're "in crisis right now with a shortage of diesel because" of the illegal war Donald Trump started with The Islamic Republic Of Iran, causing them to close the Strait of Hormuz and bomb Gulf State Refineries. The US hasn't imported Unmarked Gas Oil (Diesel) from Russia since 2022.

None of our supply comes from there. And none of our supply travels through the Strait of Hormuz. Oil companies are just reaping a windfall profit and raising prices because they can. Trump is most likely profiting greatly for the war in Iran. Why else would he do the opposite of what MAGA wants?

this is insane. the two primary waterways from the middle east to the global market are hot zones. that's the reason. that's why the prices started spiking when we attacked iran. we all know this! it happened in the last six months!

Two wars took diesel off the market: 1 that Trump said he’d stop on day one. (2 years ago), and the other that Trump started with no plan after saying no new wars. Pre-war; Middle East = 3.3 million barrels oil a day. (W/ 20% global diesel.) Russian oil accounts for less than 2% of global diesel.

Hm. Biden had a problem with oil supply because Russia illegally attacked Ukraine. Trump has a problem with oil supply because he illegally attacked Iran, while Ukraine is still defending itself against Russia. The blame for the first lies with Putin, and the second with Trump, Netanyahu and Putin.

The flows may be increasing (though still well below Feb2026) The bigger problem is that everything has compounded and it now costs 10X as much to move a ship through the strait. Insurance. Bunker fuel (impacting all aspects shipping) Hazard Pay. It’s all through the roof!

You’re in a crisis right now because Trump’s dumb war is killing the price of everything but you can’t say that & keep your job so you have to go on the air & sound like a fucking idiot

Don't be fooled by "listed oil prices" between $87-100 those are futures estimates. Refiners are actually paying $20 more than that to purchase the oil they need today. Not since 2022 have spot prices been this high. This is called backwardation. They are not coming down in the near term. He lies.

Weird how a war that has been going on for almost 5 years, and up until now diesel prices were stable, but now it's the war's fault the price has gone up, a suspensions person might think it might be a way to force the victim country to conseed to an unfair end of the war

Gas & diesel are high because of Russia-Ukraine. But also the prices will drop immediately when the war with Iran ends. But also the Strait is open, but Iran is desperate to make a deal to open the Strait.…

en the Strait. But also prices are up because price gauging. But also it’s a small price to pay so Iran doesn’t have a nuke. But also we obliterated their nuclear program. But also let them wipe out LA & San Diego. But also…

So the problem isn’t the war Trump started for no reason and is losing. The real problem is the war Trump failed to end on Day 1 like he promised he would during his campaign.

Iran, Russia, and Venezuela. The three leading exporters of diesel fuel. What's our foreign policy looked like since 2017? Since 2001, really. Real head scratcher as to how prices have reached these levels.

That’s a very selective explanation. Russia/Ukraine is part of the diesel squeeze, but so is the Iran war: Gulf refinery and export disruptions have materially tightened supply. Wright himself acknowledged reduced diesel flows from the Gulf on CBS two days ago.

How is it possible that journalists, politicians with a conscience, and democrats—I mean *real* ones—and citizens who use their brains allow DT and his cronies to get away with such brazen lies?? Every day, these criminals spread a vast number of lies, and hardly anyone contradicts them. WHY NOT???

I know most people understand that this is a lie, that Russia and Ukraine don't supply the US and EU with oil products, and that the increase in prices started when the US attacked Iran. But some people won't know that. So, please don't just quote the lie. Call it a lie and provide the truth.

Here is what I don’t understand: isn’t Russia supposed to be under economic sanctions because of their invasion of Ukraine? So how is their oil output affecting global diesel prices?

Oh. Chris. You simple minded little sychophant. Russian Ukraine war has been going since 2014. Own your stupid little war with Iran. You. Fucked. Up.

The US banned Russian oil in 2022, and the EU banned Russian diesel in 2023. About 20% of the world's oil passes through the Strait of Hormuz. Since the US went to war with Iran, tanker traffic there is down about 93%. The diesel shortage didn't come from Ukraine.

Wwwwhat??! Don't you mean it's BIDEN'S fault? SURELY it's Biden's fault. EVERYTHING is Biden's fault. Well, ok, several things are Obama's fault. A bunch of things are Hillary's fault. And ya know, there are a couple of things that are Kamala's fault. They must be the ones that started this war!

"Conflict" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. Moscow weaponized energy on purpose. The shortage is the result of four years of treating that like a market hiccup instead of an act of war.

Last time Trump and his loyalist did 'it's actually Ukraine's fault' he ended up trying to extort the Ukrainians by withholding vital aid so they would launch a fraudulent investigation into his principal rival. What do you think he's doing now that they've adopted the same line?

Can someone for the love of fucking god get them to explain this bullshit. 1) we haven’t purchased any oil, diesel or gas from Russia since their invasion of Ukraine. 2) We produce the majority of the diesel we consume here in the US. 3) When we do need diesel we buy from Canada, Mexico and SA.

That war of Russian aggression has been going on for years. Why are we being told this only now? Anyway, it’s too late. People already know it’s the Iran mess.

From the administration that placed then lifted several international embargoes on Russian crude, distillates & nat’l gas. An administration that started another needless war in the Middle East chocking worldwide supplies. Priceless.

Easy, tell Putin to stop murdering Ukrainians, end his war of choice, and then all of this will change. Right? 🤦‍♀️ Same goes for several governments, including ours right now. I can’t even with these people.

What they're doing now, trying to shift the narrative to blaming Ukraine for their monumental failures, is fucking despicable.

Nobody believes them. The Ukraine war has been ongoing for 4 years; the diesel prices skyrocketing is a recent occurrence that clearly aligns with trump's stupid Iran war. Even MAGA ain't that stupid.

One does admire the Energy Secretary's sense of geography. He locates America's diesel crisis in Kyiv, while studiously ignoring the Gulf his own government set alight in February. Ukraine is a footnote, sir. The chapter is entirely yours.

But when Russia invaded Ukraine, causing oil prices to surge, it was all Biden's fault... Literally ZERO Fox News viewers have the intelligence to see through this bullshit.

All fuel price increases are a direct result of Trump’s policies and war with Iran despite what the administration tells you. The sticker shock will become bigger as the price of air travel, food, heating costs, and almost everything else will go up. Trump and administration is gaslighting America

In the late 1930's Fox would have been shut down for its un American activities. Trump and his family would also have been investigated for the danger to national security their dangerous relationships with Russian oligarchs and by extension, with Putin represent.

Since the 2000s when Russian "investors" bailed the totally broke Trump out of his financial disaster, Trump has been a vocal supporter of Russia's agenda. He became a Russian asset.
