Well, that was the deal for easing sanctions on diesel, of course. The US allows Russia to get money from imports again so they can kill Ukrainians, and the GOP get the influence machine Russia has built to influence the midterms, along with a few billion from Musk and crew for the overt manipulation. Trump will unilaterrally enforce energy infrastructure strikes against Russian refineries, while ignoring Russian strikes, and Elon will restrict internet to anything in that area that moves faster than a walking pace, while spending upwards of a billion dollars on GOP politicians in the next month.

And the Democrats will say absolutely nothing, and vote to help it if it looks like there’s enough Republicans that have grown disgusted enough even for them with the system to try to rein the administration in.

In a perfect world, all these traitorous crimes would be punished with a Pete Hegseth style public firing squad. But we know that’s not happening.
