Guess who did that? Hey MAGA how does it feel to have room temperature IQ and fall for it again? 😂
The US and Isnotreal MUST be sopped from causing major global chaos; the irrational persecution of and illegal war on Iran must end NOW!! How can the world stand by as bullies torment and threaten a sovereign nation! This could happen to YOUR country! The bullies MUST be stopped.
Green energy is a delusion. It is great for household subsistence (assuming some sacrifice) but not running an economy. People should be angry at themselves for electing politicians who tell lies to gain/maintain power.
Ships are starting to move through the straight now. Good job USA, what did you win?
If we can sanctions Russia for a war, we should be able to sanction the USA and Israel for starting a war! That’s the only way the world can take everyone seriously!
The uSSa / america is a dying country! They will take everyone down with them!

Fake news. Trump said the gas is below $2 a gallon.
You can't print energy.
If western countries borrow to subsidize gas prices, developing countries will suffer.
And developing countries are the producers, which will raise prices, which the western countries will pay.
There is no easy way out, cuts need to be made all around to get through this.
Or you know we could stop supporting that special country that's attacking everyone.
America, what a horrible country.
All these wealthy thugs will go do hell before they can spend their money
My God, why does DJT create so much death and suffering?
Propagandists for the American/global gangster capitalists . . . full stop.

"EVS! successfully!" xD
Everyone in the world now cursing the name of Trump and Netanyahu.
Fertilizer is the greatest issue right now. 30% blocked . 25-30 million deaths by starvation are already locked in. If nothing done by August,, catastrophic consequences worldwide for years, death tolls reaching 200-300 million each year. Regardless.
A chicken in La Paz costs 20 EUR?!!!
Keep it up Trump! Keep it closed!
Look at the bright side, less emission. Clearer sky and air.
What unrest? look at the US stock market. Right?
IMHO we should subsidize the energy transition, not fossile fuels.
