Peacecore:
Most useless president only second to President BAT, the husband of RAT. Selling your country and allies for the midterm election and cheap oil deserves death by hanging.

Whether hidden or non hidden agenda, family members somewhere are rejoicing

Traitor because he negotiated a deal to buy diesel to bring down prices?

You wan buy 1 liters of fuel for N4000 abi?

Dey talk as if no be u e go affect if Trump no negotiate dat deal.

Even if diesel reach 20k per litre, u think say e go affect billionaire like Trump??

🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡

jaxxy:
But biden who started the mess was a great president?

JuanDeDios:
Indeed, he's the definition of a traitor.

Peacecore:
What was he doing before the election approaching? He's simply betraying his allies(Ukraine) by giving Russia more money to acquire weapons to kill more Ukrainians. Same clown of a president criticised Indian prime minister for buying oil from Russia. Imagine US buying oil worth of billions of dollars from Iran while they're fighting Israel? Make it make sense bro.

Peacecore:
Biden is a typical American president not the clown in the whitehouse. Biden imposed the moral sanction on Russia thereby denying them more resources to sanction the war. Whitehouse lost is credibility since Obama and Biden left.

jaxxy:
Biden created a situation for a russian invasion of ukraine which lead to ukraine losing more of its territory. Biden is an incapacitated and absent president controlled by the obama cabal.

It was same cabal that forced him to step down for kamala without primaries after he declared to run for office and won the primaries.

You're not very bright.

Was Russia suppose to give them diesel for free?

If they don't buy Russian diesel, others will. Even Secretary Rubio said it.

If they don't buy the diesel it is Americans who will suffer not Russians.

Peacecore:
Biden is never the first US president to push for expansion of NATO after all many European countries are there. If Biden created the problem, has Trump done to ended it as he promised? Remember the strength of the United States_ Allies. And I don't think Biden has gone against the State's interest. Trump is never a typical US president. He's meant to be in the comedy session of the economy.

jaxxy:
Ok biden is doing the state bidding so why did he allow russia take up ukraine territory or is that part of the US state bidding?

Or u are going to blame trump for ukraines woes?

Peacecore:
Do you expect Biden to go into a direct war with Russia? US rarely do that rather they fight behind the scene with their allies against the country or even fund them or supply them with weapons while placing economic sanctions to handicap the other. That's exactly what Biden was doing that kept Ukraine from falling otherwise you and I know that Ukraine can't stand Russia for up to 1 month without total collapse. When Trump came in he publicly disparaged Zelensky while romancing with Putin. The question I keep asking is if it's morally justified for US to buy Iranian oil with billions of dollars while they're in war with Israel, an American ally? Modi went to Russia to buy oil because it was cheaper but Trump called him all sorts of name saying he was funding Russia to kill Ukrainians. Has morality now based on when it benefits us or what?? I just want to know.

jaxxy:
U kept ukraine from falling but ukraine lost their more of territory to russia even while biden was in office so what is the gain or possitive outcome in that?

Yet trump is the one who isnt behaving like a US president because he wants to end the war biden created and had not solution to win or end it.

Peacecore:
So buying oil from Ukraine will stop the war? Was Modi's choice of Russian oil fueling the war? Trump is a narcissist, simple.

jaxxy:
Sanctions and sanctions lifted.

Peacecore:
So the sanctions are lifted when he needed to benefit from it? Has Russia stopped the aggression in Ukraine for the sanctions to be lifted? Other European countries especially NATO who are in agreement with the sanctioning are not even aware of the lifting.

jaxxy:
Obama lifted sanctions on iran and gave them billions of dollars in cash and wire for a gake deal. Trump is doing same with russia but not as worse.

Peacecore:
Was the billions of dollars an incentive to keep killing or a compensation? Do you know that Trump offered Iran more than that including rebuilding as a compensation just few months ago but Iran rejected them? Let's get our facts clearly. Obama didn't lift ban or offer Iran billions of dollars while in active war with any country but just to calm them down and rebuild their lost infrastructure which is exactly the same with what Trump offered them. Trump is a betrayer and he's destroyed the dignity the US has amongs the ally nations. Today France, Italy, Spain and other European countries can now look at US to the face and say we're not joining you to fight which has never happened. The only remaining loyal ally of US now is Israel let's be honest about that bro.

jaxxy:
I think u should get ur facts right about the obama/iran deal.

Trump isnt giving iran such outragous amount of money under any deal.

Peacecore:
Israel even kicked against them that they weren't carried along before the deals were made and the mumu man (Trump) opened his wide mouth to say without him there wouldn't be Israel today. He was ready to betray Israel until Iran rejected the deal.
I don't want us to argue so see it below 👇
How much did Obama gave them that's bigger than $300bn and unfreezing their assets worth of billions of dollars?

jaxxy:
No direct financial contribution by the US, nobody is giving iran $300b or is it saudi or kuwait or qatar that will raise the money for them?

Obama on the other hand Obama gave iran physical cash and wire transfer. The effects of that is what trump is dealing with today.

Peacecore:
So $300bn economic construction was a joke to you? When they unfreeze billions of dollars assets it's not money, right? The money yield from $300bn economic construction per month is far beyond everything Obama offered. I don't know why you're seeing Obama's deal different from Trump's
I'll keep saying it that Trump is the biggest betrayal and hypocrite of all time.

jaxxy:
So where is the $300billion? Where is it coming from cos Trump said its not coming from them. Obama gave them raw cash and wire transfer to continue their terrorist activities. There was no war or destruction to recontruct. He just gave them.

Peacecore:
Does it matter where it's coming from? What matters is that Trump is giving them $300bn, simple. If you give me raw cash or you asked someone to give me, it's all the same. The point is that I'm given money. Trump is a terrorist and betrayal.
