President signed the legislation championed by late senator Lindsey Graham last month but has waived the restrictions as they were due to come into effect

Maybe “the West” no longer exists. There’s just the US and then there’s Europe, and each of them is doing their own thing.

    Remember when this guy said no one was tougher on Russia than him? Oh Lordy, and his base just ate it up.

    Trump instigated the situation to justify doing this. Period.

    It was always going to end this way because Putin ordered it, and he has enough video on Trump and his billionaire pals to get what he wants.

    If only Epstein had lived long enough to see what power he still wields in this world— wars, fascism, racism, genocide—can all be laid at his feet because rich people like to rape enslaved women & children and therefore the tapes exist. What a proud moment for Epstein.

      Maybe Putin doesn’t need video of Trump. Maybe Trump’s admiration of dictators like Putin is all Putin needs to get Trump to do the Kremlin’s bidding.

    Yeh, there seems to be an effort to dismantle both the EU, US, and any western agreements like five eyes. There have been other times when men gathered in a room and carved up the world… I wasn’t thinking it be in my lifetime when this is attempted again.

    Good. I definitely don’t want to be part of Europe’s racist little garden. I’ll take any multipolar world order we can get, and I hope this doesn’t change when Trump is gone soon. Fuck Europe.

          Is it a “tankie” position to demand the democratic right of self determination?

          Ukrainians are neofeudal corporate serfs under a fascist junta owned by Blackrock. All opposition parties are banned. All opposition media has been seized by the state. Men can’t even leave to escape this Banderite death cult.

          Just an impossible victory or an inevitable death?

        Six centuries of never ending colonialism is not enough?

        They’re just NOW getting rid of the CFA franc.

        Blue MAGA liberals just want things back the way they were.
