My word of the day is #Kakistocracy.
Kakistocracy is a 17th century term for government by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kakistocracy
I find it particularly apt for the government of the #UnitedKingdom, where the kak excels only in persecuting the virtuous people. A country arresting anti-genocide grannies as "terrorists" is an extreme kakistocracy.
The amount of diesel supposedly being released by Russia to US is less than a day's supply, & 1/20th of our monthly exports of diesel. This "deal" does ZERO to change anything.
"300000 tons" released to USA from Russia = 2.25million barrels
daily USA domestic consumption of diesel = 3.89million barrels
daily exports of diesel from US refineries = 1.9million barrel
#Trump says #Ukraine should get a new president as he blames #Zelenskyy for #US #diesel #prices.
Such an asshole. HE’s the one responsible for the high #fuel #costs! His #war on #Iran, his #tariffs! The US needs a new president, not Ukraine.
