Tanker attacks in Strait of Hormuz surge to wartime high, Iran tries choking oil

I read today that US President temporarily lifted sanctions on Russia regarding diesel export. I hope it is just a part of a secret plan to persuade everyone that peace and trade is more profitable than war, and not US economy crumbling due to Russian sanctions against West. By the way, diesel in Russia is cheaper than in US, which means at least in diesel production Russian economy is more efficient (it makes more diesel per dollar spent).

America can't win this war nor admit it can't win. It will likely take the PRC to end this conflict. Xi winning the Nobel Peace Prize next year? What is "holding all the cards" in Mandarin.
