Trump waives new Russia sanctions, defends the decision
Donald Trump says the Russian sanctions waiver is to help negotiate peace. But one Russian paper today writes: “We will make a deal with Ukraine entirely on our terms.” Another paper: “Russia’s borders, as we know, do not end anywhere.” #ReadingRussia
Policy Vibe · by NoMAGA2A sanctions waiver only creates leverage if Moscow thinks it can be withdrawn. If the concession arrives before any change in Russian aims, it may simply reduce the cost of holding out.
bellfieldboy1960.bsky.social1Same as Israel’s borders don’t end anywhere. They have never agreed them post 1948.
Marco Rubio says Trump is pausing sanctions for 60 days to see whether talks involving Ukraine and Russia can produce a positive result and avoid another year of war. RBC-Ukraine reports the US is considering further sanctions relief covering tankers, gas, companies and individuals. #US
Per Nielsen34What a great idea. Lets do the same with Iran and see if that can't encourage the Iranian leadership to enter negotiations. So lift sanctions on Iranian oil and stop the blokade for 60 days. If that line or arguments work with Russia, it works with Iran as well.. Right???? right???
Fraser Wylie22I am.old to remember when Rubio had a spine and some credibility. This Rubio is another russian schlack.
Nope16The USA are backstabbers. This moment should be recorded accurately, and remembered for decades to come.
juupo.bsky.social15So, their grand plan is to give their mate another chance to beat Ukraine 🤦♂️ what a complete bunch of wankers
Autokratdaily10A diesel deal, a sanctions law waived, Kyiv’s satellite internet throttled, and now a 60 day pause on sanctions, with more relief reportedly on the table. All in one month, and every move helps the same side. More and more, Washington acts less like a Western ally and more like Moscow’s.
nabukodinosaur.bsky.social8It WILL have a positive effect. For ruzzia. Doublespeak in its purest form.
This is a nightmare for all. Fucking idiots.
Shazzy4The US are officially traitors. #Ukraine #UStraitors

Mia3And so lovely to see that the US is providing sanctions relief to the aggressor Because we all know that this will really get Putin to stop… I don’t know what’s worse - the stupidity of this US Administration or that they actually think the public will buy this…
Matteo, pare3Iniziamo a comprare petrolio dagli iraniani per lo stesso motivo allora... fottuti imbecilli
Emmanuel RIBOULET-DEYRIS - 何雷3What if you supplied Patriot missiles to help protect the civilian population from this murderous regime that you're trying to appease?
Dr. Olaf Bachmann2Russia is under stress. it must be short of collaps if it pulls it's last option and reveals agent Krasnov openly. US is throwing a lifeline to Russsia, which is losing that war against Ukraine and the free world. Only if the US join Russia, Putin has a last chance to prevent a collapse of his rule.
Mia2How does it feel knowing that the President of the United States is actively supporting and aiding the aggressor Russia? I am not even American but I am ashamed
Mavoy Music2This is not how it works, Little Marco
