  2. … but nobody can enforce it since those jobs were shut down….

  3. Trump: friendship ended with Putin, my new friend is…

  4. It’s just theatre. Meanwhile behind the scenes Trump is doing all sorts of things that “coincidentally” benefits Russia.
    Disbanding the team that is investigating Russian oligarchs, undermining NATO, etc. etc.

  5. if they don’t accept the deal that greatly favors russia?

    This seems like PR. Trump would have just signed some draft papers and say do it while slamming 4 big macs in his mouth if he actually wanted this done. But as always I would be happy for him to prove me wrong and support ukraine and put pressure on russia.

  6. Double them? I don’t think that kind if calculation can be applied….

    We will now disallow trading these goods… Twice!
    They were blocked from trade, but now they are blocked again! On top!

  7. He’s talking tough with statements like these, but his actions have been the opposite.

  8. Is that why he just stopped a task force against Russian oligarchs?

  9. Guys, I don’t think we see the full picture here. Putin couldn’t really give a flying fuck about the sanctions since there’s ways to go around some of them. Sure, it’s damaging long term, but Putin is desperate for an immediate relief so he can “save face”.

    What really hurts Putin is AID/ARMS TO UKRAINE. Whatever prolongs the war is actually going to hurt him the most. Trump definitely has the wrong intentions with Ukraine and will try to milk them dry before ultimately stabbing them in the back.

    Trump is a ally to Putin, and sure, there’s no honor amongst thieves, but never underestimate what two bad guys are capable of doing to rule the world.

  11. We already have secondary sanctions against Russia, it’s unclear how this can really be increased in impact.

  12. Day One: imma force Ukraine into peace with Russia, Russia can keep their gains and no NATO

    Day Two: screw russia, Ukraine can keep their land but rare earth is ours

    Day Three: no more sanctions for russian oligarchs(?) in preparation for peace treaty

    Day four: double sanctions for Russia!

    ???????

  14. Trump’s first impeachment was for withholding military aid to Ukraine while his staff worked in back channels to pressure Zelensky to go on CNN and announce a bogus investigation into Joe Biden and a conspiracy theory that Ukraine, not Russia, interfered in the 2016 election on behalf of Hillary Clinton

  15. This flip flopping on policy has to be a distraction from what President Musk is doing. It is a blitz of information and events to keep us distracted and fatigued.

  16. lol. I’ll believe it when I see it. He just dismantled the FBI task force that was in charge of seizing Russian assets. But sure, let’s put some easily avoidable sanctions in place that will never be enforced. That’ll show them.

  19. He always talks like he’s going to be *realllly* tough on Russia then does next to nothing. If you bring up that Trumps never done much to upset Russia MAGAs will scream about all the threats he made.. but never talk about action. And that’s what this is, “cover” for when he either does nothing or actually helps ease Russian sanctions

  22. What does double sanctions even mean?! Government’s that have been boycotting trade with Russia will double boycott trade? Russian Oligarchs who’ve had their assets in foreign banks seized will have them doubly taken away?
    Also, didn’t he just disband the task force in charge of sanctioning Russia? I feel like I read that yesterday q

  23. Stop listening to the words and focus on actions. There’s no use analyzing fluctuating lies – just wait until sanction changes happen and go from there.

  25. Never pay attention to what they say, pay attention to what they do.

  26. What exactly is “double” prohibition of Russia from the banking transfer system?

    Trump still doesn’t understand the difference between sanction and tariff.

    How has the US put this moron in charge AGAIN?

  27. Sure bro… Is this like the 25% tariffs that he backed down from in a day and ended up giving away more than he got?

  29. Didn’t he take care of that war ? He said 24 hours once he’s president. What happened?

  30. After his “peace plan for Ukraine” leaked, which involves giving Russia pretty much everything they want.

    Interesting timing.

  31. Curious if people still thing Trump is a Russian asset after hearing this

  32. What… so we haven’t had full sanctions yet after 3 years of destruction on Ukraine. Jesus fucking christ, just do it ffs.

  33. Firehouse of falsehoods. He gets taking points saying he’s tough on Russia while simultaneously taking actions to reduce oversight of Russian oligarchs

  34. So I guess he wants to get in a cock fight with these world leaders 🧐. He has all our allies pissed at us, if we end up in a war with Russia, or China I don’t know who’s going to come to our rescue. 😤

  37. I’m getting whiplash watching this dude do gymnastics every damn day

  39. I’m genuinely surprised he didn’t cut off aid to Ukraine on day 1. Republicans campaigned hard on leaving them

  40. Wait a second! Wasn’t that whole Russia Ukraine thing straightened out day one? 24 hours? What’s going on here??

  41. I will believe it… when I see it! Otherwise this is just more BS.

  43. Is he Hangry? Maybe his staff needs to feed him before press briefings. Check his vitamins/meds.
