🛢️🇺🇸 Russia has begun delivering diesel fuel to the United States by air.
The first shipment, in the form of a cloud, has already departed from the Novokuybyshevsk oil refinery. The cargo is expected to reach the American continent within 7–10 days.
“You know, Putin is sending us diesel straight from the Novokuybyshevsk oil refinery. Huge quantities. I've seen the pictures, there's a lot of fuel there, just an incredible amount. And all of it is flying to us through the air. For free! Nobody has ever sent us this much diesel for free. I told Vladimir: thank you, this is tremendous. A very beautiful cloud, by the way. Huge. Possibly the biggest cloud I've ever seen,” — Donald Trump.

I love portraits of people reading. This fashionably-attired man has his book propped up and looks absorbed. This work is by an anonymous painter from the Northern Netherlands, c. 1660, and is entitled, 'A Man Reading'. Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
