RememberTheApollo_Oh no…it gets better.
He also lifted sanctions on Russian oil, thus giving money to the country that is sending troops and arms that are fighting against US backed operations in Ukraine, and also supplying Iran with weapons.
He just wants it to go away. No, I don’t think he wants Ukraine to win at all, he’d hand it all to Putin yesterday if he could. I think there are a few operating braincells in the administration that are preventing him from doing so, whatever the reasons are.
whatever the reasons are.
The US politicians use taxpayer money to fund the weapons that get sent to Ukraine. The US weapons manufacturers get that money. The US weapons manufacturers pay the US politicians. No great mystery. Not disagreeing with arming Ukraine, just wish it wasn’t a necessity.
baltakateiMy tax dollars at work.
Also somehow my tax dollars at work.
Not anymore. Trump stopped founding weapon to Ukraine. All support is from Europe now. Trump is a traitor.
He wants distractions to keep himself and his loyal family out of prison.
US policy in regards to Ukraine is to bog Russia down. Same thing as when they were fighting in Afghanistan. The longer this conflict goes on, the better for US foreign policy objectives (and weapons manufacturers).
mrmanagerPlease point to a time when Trump did anything that didn’t benefit Russia
There’s your answer about whether or not he wants Ukraine to win
US Turns Up the Heat on Indian Imports over Purchases of Russian Oil Increasing Tariffs by 25%
Almost everything Trump does is to Russia’s benefit. Sometimes blatantly so. But then once in a while there is a curveball hurting Russia. I am a bit confused, actually.
US Turns Up the Heat on Indian Imports over Purchases of Russian Oil Increasing Tariffs by 25%
On August 6, President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order on “Addressing Threats to the United States by the Government of the Russian Federation,” imposing additional tariffs on Indian imports. Under these new tariffs imports of most Indian goods will be subject to an additional 25% duty, which will stack on top of the 25% duty on
It could only be more 1984 if there were no war but the government made up lies, took lives, and wrote articles about it anyway.
Anyone been to Iran lately to check? 🤨🤯
JackbyDevOr as, you know, powerless
But then Ukraine went and blew up a bunch of Russian oil processing and storage facilities, effectively stopping russia from being able to sell
So…now there’s less oil overall and Iran can charge even more.
I don’t think people realize how fucked we are with the strait closed and refineries being targeted. This isn’t just a dollar or few more at the pump and higher average food costs. There is a real likelihood of energy rationing, temperature death, starvation (at least in poorer countries), and economic depression levels of fucked. This isn’t “buy an EV and you’re good” kind of situation. Goods are going to be unaffordable and solar panels will be nowhere to be found. Refineries take years to rebuild.
All true, but where are the headlines of Chinese companies setting up second and third shifts to crank out as many as possible solar panels and EVs to take advantage of this? Good for their profits == good for our environment
They won’t be cranking out extra solar panels for anyone but themselves.
Didn’t he swap sides on the Russia/Ukraine war, for a bit?
