  1. ”How can I pretend to want to impose new sanctions and have a credible way to pull out and keep supporting Putin”

  2. When is EU going to demand a halt to fascism is the US?

  4. Hang on, were they not discussing resuming deliveries via NordStream not that long ago? (as if they actually had a say in that matter)

  5. Only Hungary and Slovakia still buy Russia gas, because their governments are pro Russian Quislings trying to undermine the West’s efforts to make Russia stop.

    Trump is deliberately exploiting this to avoid sanctioning Russia.

  6. So…why not do the right thing and sanction Putin without using it as a means of pressuring the EU? EU members have been doing plenty already, US just started buying eggs from Russia and is still importing nuclear fuel rods from them too. This is conveniently being left out. US is no longer in any position to boss Europe around. That ship has sailed when Trump started his tariffs, threatened Greenland, mentioning pulling out of NATO. One does not negotiate with terrorists.

  7. I think at this point, he needs to act first, if the EU can’t see this liar for the liar that he is, and call bullshit, then I am going to say that MAGA were right and they are all in on it, from top to bottom they are one group of elites messing with us

  10. We know US policy depends on RF policy, but since when does US policy depend on EU policy? Grasping at straws avoiding accountability.
    And sure, we are all excited about where the goalposts will pop up in the following two weeks… not.
    Oh, look, there they go… the straws I mean.
