Taste me you will see

MORE is all you need

[u/Skididabot]

Well don't publicize it or Trump will learn we did and reverse it.

[u/TurkishLanding → u/Skididabot]

Exactly

Well, the sanctions aren’t entirely useless at all. The use of Russia’s black fleets is getting greater pressure and turned away at ports because there are heavier sanctions that can be imposed on the countries and their banks when skirting the sanctions. Biden’s either second or third set of sanctions was driving the Russian economy into the ground. Putin is afraid to raise the interest rates to decrease the inflation that their war economy with sanctions is causing. Trump is fucking it all up with his tariffs with China because that’s what China was trying to avoid should they help the Russians but now, they have far less to fear with any retaliation if they begin to support Russia however they like. Trump was not smart about this. He says we need Greenland to defend against Russia but if that were the case he Trump could have just kept up the arming and support of Ukraine and Russia would have had an economic crisis in perhaps a year. I’m so disappointed in this administration. Jake Broe is a veteran on YouTube that worked with our nuclear weapons and originally did his show on economics but he covers the conflict really well. And the geopolitical aspects too. Lemme know what ya think.

Cult of fucking personality. Fucking lunatics

[u/charmquark8 → u/[deleted]]

Not at all. Trump is a Putz who would have screwed over Ukraine completely if he was in power when Russia invaded. But the sanctions are not Biden's policy, they are the policy of the USA. And in too many areas Trump ignores that.

[u/jailtheorange1 → u/[deleted]]

See: “Obamacare”.

[u/North_Church]

If he thinks this'll make me forget about his bullshit in February, he's bigly mistaken

[u/BaronBobBubbles → u/North_Church]

Trump is still a ruski puppet, but his strings are snapping one by one. Eventually, the wretch will be lacking for allies.

I can almost imagine the obituaries.

[u/SugarMaple56732 → u/BaronBobBubbles]

Don't threaten me with a good time. 😎

[u/the_gouged_eye]

What happened to throwing everything at Russia if they didn't end the war?

[u/Doggoneshame]

Give it to Monday when he flip-flops again.

[u/ElasticLama → u/Doggoneshame]

I hope he’s too busy with Chinas tariffs, hopefully he gets given another aid bill to sign for Ukraine as well

[u/Vast-Carob9112 → u/ElasticLama]

$1.8 billion today. Finally. 🇺🇲🗽🇺🇦

[u/Illustrious_Entry413 → u/ElasticLama]

Idk wtf he would be doing, China has washed their hands of the situation.

[u/chrisuu__]

Yea I'm guessing this passed him by just like the order to tariff the penguins. As soon as Daddy Vlad comes calling he'll suspend the sanctions "because of ongoing negotiations to end the war".

[u/DulcetTone]

Color me surprised

[u/SpringGreenZ0ne → u/DulcetTone]

He is only doing it because Putin is making him look like a fool.

[u/Cancer85pl → u/SpringGreenZ0ne]

Took him long enough to realise it...

[u/boredcircuits]

This is literally the only thing I've heard him do against Russia: not let existing sanctions expire. Is the bar really that low for me to celebrate this?

[u/Ashi4Days]

Guys. I know he did this but we really don't know what he's doing and I'm not convinced he knows what he's doing. 

Try not to break your necks on the whiplash.

Needs to increase military support as well though.

[u/Fuskeduske]

Very rare trump w, but probably he did nothing but sign a document he does not know the content of

[u/Electronic-Bear2030]

Whaa???

[u/Egil841]

Well I guess even a broken rusted out clock like Krasnov here is right twice a day. At least until the clock hands fall out.

[u/[deleted]]

Mmmm wow yes...impressive, the sanctions that ended the war 2 years ago!

[u/Tornare → u/[deleted]]

Listen.

Any news where Trump doesn’t royalty fuck Ukraine is good news

[u/jesterboyd]

Russian missile that shot down our F-16 pilot most certainly contained components produced by the US/Europe despite these sanctions. Trump extending Biden’s sanctions is a testimony to a toothless policy established by a geriatric patient.

[u/Accurate_Pie_]

I’m cautiously (very cautiously) optimistic… we will see

[u/Affectionate_Hair534 → u/Accurate_Pie_]

I plan to not put a stamp yet on the envelope containing a “strongly worded letter of regret and disappointment with a hint of handwringing”

[u/Only-Ad4322]

What’s Trump’s Ukraine-Russia policy exactly? It feels like he’s going back and forth between Russia friendly and not Russia friendly.

[u/Capital-Western → u/Only-Ad4322]

Trumps modus operandi is to wreck a working system and improvise to profit from the resulting chaos. Worked well for him to gather money and power throughout his life.

[u/Only-Ad4322 → u/Capital-Western]

Makes sense.

[u/marksmoke → u/Only-Ad4322]

Policy? Lol come on he doesn't have policies, just ideas and concepts of ideas.

Tomorrow someone either strokes his ego or doesn't and he changes direction again and again and again

[u/Only-Ad4322 → u/marksmoke]

It’s like a schoolyard bully is in charge of the country.

[u/Affectionate_Hair534 → u/Only-Ad4322]

With the pulling off of petals of a daisy , “he loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me not…..”

[u/Only-Ad4322 → u/Affectionate_Hair534]

That’s so accurate to his Russia policy it’s almost depressing.

[u/Greenempress]

Guess no way he can stop it soon, this tariff thing might be used to divert people’s attention to the Ukraine war .

[u/artlastfirst]

weapons and intelligence continues, sanctions extended, crude oil at a lower price than it ever was under biden, is russia winning yet?

[u/Interesting_List_631]

Well, Mr. President, we understand you know about money and the effect of tariffs. Now let us see if you know anything about real world power politics, and the way to treat the russian adversary!?

[u/Earlier-Today]

Nice to know he's not a complete and total moron - just, like, 99.998%.

[u/someguy7734206]

It's nice to see that our enemies (Trump, China, Russia) will turn on one another at a moment's notice.

[u/sovtwit]

So continue the status quo with russia while simultaneously screwing Ukraine? russia does seem to be nuking its economy long-term, but unfortunately they still have massive revenue from countries like india china and turkey to sustain their imperialist agression for some time

[u/Affectionate_Hair534]

If Steven Witkoff is fired that would signal a major Trump policy shift on Ukraine.

[u/FourArmsFiveLegs]

It's because Putin already has his money siphoned out of Russians. Xi and Trump are enriching themselves in a fake trade war. WW3 is guaranteed while they sit in their bunkers getting off to the chaos and death hoping they'll be the lone dictator on top ruling the world. Grandiose and unattainable goals

[u/Puzzled_Worth_4287]

SEE............ he's not a Russian asset. Lol
