Trump says sanctions against Russia to be lifted "at some point"
Makeitstop @lemmy.world This shouldn't be a surprise, but it's still outrageous and probably a lot more damaging than simply stopping future aid. Russia's economy is crippled and they are struggling to supply their military to keep up the war effort. Dropping the sanctions would not only give them a huge economic boost, it would also potentially allow them to buy things they can't manufacture on their own.
A plurality of voters chose to elect a puppet who has effectively turned the US into a Russian vassal state. But at least eggs are cheap and plentiful and we have peace in the middle east, right?

Namely, weapons with advanced computer chips in them.

TWeaK @lemm.ee They've already instructed US cybersecurity agencies to stop reporting on Russian threats.

25 0 ReplyWhatAmLemmy @lemmy.world We all know he sold it. It's not like he's doing any of this for anyone but himself.

5 0 Replygonzo-rand19 @moist.catsweat.com He probably did sell it and the payment went to him personally. Trump is a loser who didn't have enough money to pay his civil judgements just a few years ago. The money, if it does indeed exist, was never going to the US treasury.

eagleeyedtiger @lemmy.nz So when do we start placing bets on when Trump starts sending weapons to Russia?

peoplebeproblems @midwest.social There we go. Putin is upset that after his invasion of Ukraine and occupation of Crimea in 2014 he faced consequences.
Then, somehow, didn't expect his second invasion to trigger more sanctions.
20 0 ReplyLit @lemmy.world I thought russians say sanctions make them stronger. They should be asking for more sanctions.

kent_eh @lemmy.ca I think most people expected those sanctions to end eventually.
But they also expected that to happen after Russia withdrew from occupied territory in Ukraine and ceased hostilities at any of their borders.
