  1. “Freedom™ means buying oil only from approved countries

  2. Amazed this guy has time to come up for air while blowing Don Taco’s tiny dick.

  3. They should take him seriously, if there is a thing republicans, esp trump crew who know how to crash an economy – they’re are the phds of crashing

  4. Graham is a douche, but he’s a strong anti-Russian aspect of the US government and Trump listens to him…most of the time.

  5. And then China cuts off rare earth in retaliation and then what?

  6. we need to band up to let them know hungary and slovakia are getting russian energy as well

  7. >“China, India, and Brazil they’re about to face a choice between the American economy or helping Putin. And **I think they’re going to come pick the American economy**,” he said.

    Of course everything is possible. If I had to bet my life, that would not be my bet though.

  8. These fuckers are trying to get the EU to go along with this shit and there are actually some crazy people in Europe who would do it. Lindsey Graham is a hardcore MAGA loyalist who doesn’t give a shit about Ukraine or Russia.

    While the US is trying to hurt the European economy from their side with tariffs, they want us to start a trade war against our other biggest trading partner at the same time like complete fools.

    Imagine what would happen to our economy when Trump hit us with high tariffs and at the same time China, India and Brazil did the same. We would be screwed.

    And Ukraine would also be completely screwed if our economy went down the drain. We know that the USA will no longer supply anything and Europe could no longer afford it. You could almost think that’s the real plan of the MAGA people, with their leader Krasnov…

  9. and then the price of gas in the us doubles. will djt really do that to save ukraine?

  10. This suits us. We want to cut off Russia’s source of funds that will only be used to kill us in a few years otherwise.

    If the US and China and Russia are fighting, why not let them? So what if they are all douchebags? It’s about our interests, not about personalities or style points.

  11. When you threaten and fight every single country on the planet there is a chance things won’t end well

  12. Reading this Sub I don’t know if they support Russia or hate the US, it’s very hard to tell nowadays with anything involving the US

  13. If America wanted to ensure that BRICS will fast track an alternative to the dollar, this is exactly the way to do it. Turn India against us, and push them right into Chinas hands.

    Other than the Iraq war, this is probably the dumbest fucking idea Washington has had in decades.

    Of course, these politicians don’t care about the fall out, they’ll be dead before the real consequences start.

    I support Ukraine and wish we would send them every weapon in our arsenal, but I do not support nuking our financial system.

  14. Remember when the US was considering lifting sanctions on Russian oil and people where pissed?

    Now the US is moving to cut off Russian oil and people are still pissed.

  15. what’s up with this weird anti-US sentiment in European subs. Every post no matter what, shit on America. Even on posts of America threatening Russia, comments section mostly shit on America.

    You’d think America was the one invading Europe, murdering, raping, and kidnapping Europeans and not Russia from the reactions from this sub.

  16. “Don’t believe us? Take a look at what we are doing to our’s.”

  17. This sub cannot make up its mind. If the US goes easy on Russia, this sub goes into hysterics and calls Trump a Russian asset and Putin bootlicker. If the US really tries to hit at the Russian economy like it’s proposing to in this statement, now it’s a tirade about mean this is and how everyone should stand up against the US.

    Literally what the fuck do you want the US to do? Or are you just going to be angry at it no matter what?

  18. Europe should help in this. Targeting the people funding Russia would help ease the war sooner than later.

  19. r/europe is apparently anti-Ukraine now. It’s truly pathetic how little moral backbone some people have. Actively opposing sanctions on Russia simply to take shots at the USA.

  20. These comments prove that Europeans hate the US way more than they hate Russia, and its been that way for a long time. Trump is just a convenient excuse for them to openly say what they’ve always thought.

    And Democrats should make no mistake: these people hate you as much as they claim to hate only Trump voters/Republicans. All Americans are the same to them.

    “Unreliable ally” my ass. It doesn’t matter what America does, we’ll be despised anyway, so why bother anymore? Time to salvage what’s left of our own country and let Europe / Russia fight amongst themselves.

  21. The same people in this thread making fun of this were upset when Trump was talking about lifting sanctions on Russia to encourage a ceasefire. You guys are clearly hypocrites

  22. So the US can “crush” the combined economies of China, India & Brazil hey ? They cant even crush the Russian economy. The only economies the the US are crushing are the EU.

    The guy is a certifiable mental retard.

  23. Sorry, we’re a bit busy crushing our own economy.
    They’ll have to wait their turn.

  24. Have t we said to every country in the world since he took over? The only economy that is going to tank is ours. I thought it was America first not his family business first. Release the damn list pervert.

  25. This is not necessarily a big deal. Russian oil will first flow to a third country (one which does not export much to USA so will not be affected by Tariffs) and then from there flow to India. In fact, this already happens a lot. UAE is the middleman with the advantage that UAE themselves export oil, so you can blend Russian oil with UAE oil so its not very clear what is being sold (Indian refineries can refine all sort of oil, so this doesn’t matter). This also allows India to bypass the dollar and trade with Russia in UAE Dirhams so its out of US sanctions regime.

    China won’t even bother with doing this. They will just impose a reciprocal tariff against US and US will eventually back down just like it did back in March.

  26. It’s so crazy how all of this stupid shit amounts to nothing

  27. People in brics are unable to survive without the west? Who you think you are? Colonisers.
