Why would Putin do this when the US is aiding Ukraine? Starlink is being used to drone bomb Russia.

Because the US might reduce support for Ukraine in return. This is why it’s important for Europe to continue to rapidly decouple from the US.

I really want to tell you you're wrong and downvote you but unfortunately I think you are correct.

Wrong question.

Putin needs money for his war.

Why is Trump doing this when he got the oil of Venezuela?

The US uses ~600,000 tons of diesel per day, so releasing 800,000 tons before the midterms doesn't seem like it would lower prices very much. It makes me wonder why Trump is even bothering with this, besides just optics to look like he's doing something about energy prices.

Astonishing.

What happens when Ukraine next targets Russian oil refineries or related infrastructure? Will the US regime start bombing Kyiv in retaliation?

Don't give them any ideas. Trump hates Ukraine ever since their refusal to back up his bullshit claims.
