That is not a sanction.

And was Russia a manufacturing powerhouse? Genuinely curious who has more sway there? China or Russia against the west.

Right only that it was Russia that asked for sanctions to be lifted: https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/trump-says-russia-im...

And how exactly is that winning either way?

Russia exports diesel = winning everything?

I guess then if I win going up before my alarm clock I have won everything in life.

Russia exports diesel means Russia is getting money from US and can spend it however it wants. Also, it gets some political influence on Trump by doing a favor and helping Republicans win.

Of drones and missiles? Yes.

So the previous attempts by Trump to let Putin get political influence was just jokes and blusters?

How exactly would diesel help republicans win when diesel is 1 of several critically important issues that is going against the republicans and Trump?

And I asked in past tense not in present, since you were talking in past tense.

Even so I'm sure India will be happy to eat Russian missiles for breakfast and call people on their drones since that is what exports powerhouse is compared to China.
