> The article calls Trump’s diesel-purchase deal with Russia a moral outrage, saying it rewards an aggressor terrorizing Ukrainian cities with drones and missiles while punishing the victim for fighting back. Its economic gains for the US are likely modest at best. The piece says Trump genuinely wants peace, but strategic blinders and indiscipline are making it harder to achieve.
