Honestly, when you listen carefully to these people...

Editor's note: ...like Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg and you have a decent grasp of what is going on, they are so full of shit their eye balls are brown and Kellogg is no different. Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg stands as Exhibit A of the American general officer corps' terminal military illiteracy: a man whose "expertise" consists of Hollywood tropes, basic arithmetic failures (claiming Ukraine casualties somehow exceed World War II's 65–70 million dead), and a lifelong losing record, yet who still postures as a serious strategist while the realities of modern warfare leave him exposed as a feeble, out-of-his-depth crude propagandist. Kellogg says he would tell the "bearded dwarf" Zelenski to "take all the god damn refineries out in Russia." What an ignorant moron. Kellogg goes on to say "Russia is targeting schools and civilians while the Ukrainians are targeting military targets." Sure thing, Kellogg, you tell them.

The Sheer Ignorance Of What's At Stake Globally [Video]

October 14, 2026 | By Armstrong Economics

This is a textbook case of how someone can reach the top of one field and still be utterly clueless about everything else. Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg served as National Security Advisor to former Vice President Mike Pence and later as Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia. He is Co-Chair at the Center for American Security, America First Policy Institute, USA, which is a Neocon think tank. The man's ignorance is staggering. He has made no effort to examine the facts—or, more likely, he knows them and deliberately refuses to discuss how Victoria Nuland helped select the interim government that started this civil war and attacked the Donbas on Neocon orders.

He advocates that Zelensky should tell President Trump to go to hell and destroy every refinery in Russia. To illustrate his sheer stupidity: forget the food crisis he would cause in Russia, knowing that would lead to nuclear war—he completely ignores that Africa and the Middle East account for over 80% of Russia's wheat exports, making those regions the most directly tied to Russian grain. Iran is 100% dependent on Russian grain. That would be a surefire way to make the Middle East explode into a full-blown war, which would then merge with the Russia-versus-EU war, and China and North Korea would join.

It is these Neocons, who simply hate the Russian people, who are cascading the world into World War III over a war they instigated using Ukraine. He would fulfill our model by pushing diesel to the extreme, projecting $8, which would hit the U.S. economy, reduce trucking, and result in a U.S. food shortage. This is what I mean. Expertise in one field does not qualify you to argue about things that will impact the rest of the entire world with zero comprehension of where that leads.

A full-scale war with Russia would very likely cause a severe global diesel crisis, and in many regions, a collapse in supply is a real possibility. The system is already under extreme strain, and a broader conflict would push it past its breaking point. Our computer projects $10+ a gallon by 2032.

The Current Diesel Market Is Already Fragile

The global diesel market is not starting from a position of strength; it is already in a state of acute shortage driven by two simultaneous wars. A wider conflict with Russia would remove one of the world's largest suppliers from a market that is already reeling. Russia is the world's second-largest diesel exporter, accounting for roughly 9.5% of global export volumes, whereas the United States exports 1,264,000 bpd, or 15.4%. Russia's exports are a vital source of supply for Turkey, Brazil, and parts of Africa and the Middle East.
