📰 Trump, Putin and the $14 Trillion Oil Fix Kremlin envoy Kirill Dmitriev is selling a simple vision in Washington: lift sanctions, and U.S.–Russia “joint projects” could be worth over $14 trillion — including deep stakes in Russian energy. Conveniently, Trump’s Iran war has just pushed oil over $100 and given the White House a ready‑made excuse to loosen the very sanctions that were supposed to starve Putin’s war machine. After Trump’s call with Putin, Moscow boasted that Putin offered ideas for a quick Iran settlement, while Trump publicly floated waiving oil‑related sanctions “for some countries,” read by markets as the first crack in the wall around Russian crude. India already has a 30‑day waiver to buy stranded Russian barrels, framed as “temporary relief” to calm a price spike created by the closure of Hormuz — a closure the Iran war itself helped engineer. Seen from that angle, the Iran operation looks less like a clean morality play and more like a leverage machine: squeeze Gulf supply, let prices jump, then rebrand Russian oil as a necessary safety valve. Putin offers Trump a diplomatic off‑ramp; Trump offers Putin tens of billions in revived oil revenue — and voters are told it’s all in the name of “energy security.” #iran#trump#putin#russia#oil#sanctions#ukraine#fakeDemocracy 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸
