I assume that folks are right to downplay the economic impact (for both the U.S. and Russia) of any diesel that today's deal manages to move, but I wouldn't minimize the other effects, eg on Trump's view of Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries, Putin's confidence in outlasting sanctions, etc.

kinda breathtaking to watch the U.S. media establishment lose its shit about one maybe-plague death in a Russian backwater town with 3,887 confirmed measles cases reported in the United States, SO FAR, in 2026

Amid all the panic about the BLACK DEATH COMING FROM RUSSIA FOR YOU IN YOUR SLEEP TONIGHT, here's a cool paper from "Nature," published in June, about how humanity's earliest plague outbreak was found in the teeth of Lake Baikal hunter-gatherers who died 5,500 yrs ago. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-10540-5
