From the article: U.S. President Donald Trump does not believe Russia should be cut off from the global economy beyond the context of its war against Ukraine, Vice President JD Vance said in an interview with One America News Network published on Sept. 10.
The statement comes as, despite Trump’s repeated threats, his administration has imposed only limited penalties on Russia and, in some cases, has rolled back restrictions.
“The president’s been very open with the Europeans and the Russians that he doesn’t see any reason why we should economically isolate Russia except for the continuation of the conflict,” Vance said.
The vice president added that Russia remains a resource powerhouse.
“Let’s be honest, whether you like or dislike Russia, whether you agree or disagree with their underlying arguments for the conflict, the simple fact is they’ve got a lot of oil,” Vance said.
“They’ve got a lot of gas. They’ve got a lot of mineral wealth.”
According to the vice president, once a settlement is reached, Washington could have “a very productive economic relationship” with both Kyiv and Moscow.
His remarks come as Trump’s peace proposals allegedly include lifting sanctions on Moscow, sparking concerns in Kyiv and Brussels that the West might lose leverage over the Kremlin.
U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said on Sept. 8 that Europe must cut purchases of Russian oil and gas if it wants Washington to step up sanctions to push Moscow toward meaningful negotiations.
In August, Washington imposed tariffs on India, one of Russia’s biggest oil buyers, but stopped short of broader action. Indian officials said the tariffs would not halt their imports of Russian crude.
European Council President Antonio Costa announced on Sept. 5 that a delegation would travel to Washington to coordinate a new package of joint sanctions.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the following day that Washington is ready to expand secondary tariffs on countries buying Russian oil, though no further measures have been announced.
The man continues to astound me with his insanity.
Evil in disguise
Crackhead
Is that eyeliner causing mental illness ?
Summary: ‘Whatever Nazi Putler does… I (TACO-Don/US(S)A) will follow RuZZia’s actions and support them wholeheartedly.’
Unbelievable… his stupidity costs human lives…
I wonder does putin’s dick tastes so good? That they continue to suck it non stop
oo shocking
Yeah, they’ll open up to weapons trading, as soon as fighting stops.
CUNTS!
Yeah, it has been during history great idea to make your enemy stronger.
Vance is not only naïve, he is also complete r e t a r d.
Trump is a Russian asset
Utter scum!
They are no better than the mangy cur in the Kremlin.
Most of the Right wing political ecosphere is propped up with Russian money. Even more so in Europe. If Russia were to legitimately collapse and no longer be willing or able to spend billions of dollars subsidizing extremist politicians and media voices in the west you would see a significant collapse of those political parties.
The fetish of laziness and carelessness in this administration is a shameful blot on America forever. Particularly regarding extreme arrogance towards all other countries and particularly allies. Just absolute zero apparent awareness at the top regarding basic cultural things a mid to low level diplomat would be expected to know intimately.
The simple fact that publicly pro-Putin Trump golf buddy Witkoff is the point man for this administration tells you all you need to know. He meets alone with Putin in the middle of the night in Moscow. To be blunt, Trump and Witkoff engage in what can only be called homoerotic sessions where they lovingly quote Putin lies to Putin often in official communications.
Reminder that Trump is a Russian agent.
Traitor
Vance is a traitor, but we knew that.
Traitors to the West. Traitors to America.
Greedy fucks.
Top priority is having a good relationship with Russia and no one else. Nothin suspicious about that. What a fucking traitorous embarrassment
This is like the town sheriff who refuses to arrest the chronic offender rapist, because “he’s a good boy at heart.”
Eventually the sheriff’s family fall victim and the sheriff gets himself murdered before reaching the conclusion everyone has been telling him for years.
Fuck these morons. The only way to stop Putin’s insatiable greed for other peoples’ land, is by force, now.
Fight Putin back to his own toilet looting shit hole country by donating right now directly to Ukraine’s armed forces at https://u24.gov.ua/
JD is a shill for Moscow and wants to get v cucked by Putin
Yeah, let’s trust russia after the war and start an economic relationship. I’m sure that money won’t be used to start another invasion…
This is just plain stupid at best, outright malicious disinformation at worst.
Sure, the world could have a very productive relationship with Russia in the future, but to imply that it would come straight after the war, and not before demanding the many, *many* governmental reforms Russia needs first, is just doing Putin’s work.
Trump does not seem to understand that Europe is vastly more wealthy than Russia. So, by alienating Europe and trying to grow closer to Russia, they are not making the US more economically prosperous. And that is all aside from the moral aspect of trying to buddy-up with a genocidal regime.
It just boggles the mind.
