    So, we’re removing sanctions from the people we’re trying to punish with sanctions because they’re killing people who did nothing to deserve it?

    I suspect the attack on Iran was prompted by Putin as a way to strangle oil supplies and allow backing of Russian oil in order to fund the war on Ukraine.

    The Russians are feeding intelligence to the Iranians too (like we feed intelligence to the Ukrainians). Trump doesn’t care. In fact, it was probably Trump’s idea!

    Let’s see… Russia explicitly criticizes Trump’s personal war in Iran, is accused of – and doesn’t deny – helping Iran with intel in said war…

    And Trump’s response is to reward Russia with easing economic sanctions.

    I guess Putin found his personal copy of the Epstein files…

    Who needs enemies when you have so called “allies” like the US? Russia is literally fighting a war of anihilation in Ukraine and they get a waiver on oil? This is enraging.

    Not to mention, Russia is providing Iran intel, and the idiot still appeases

    When we say Trump is putins bitch we’re not being hyperbolic. What a sack of shit.

    Oh look…. Just as oil prices are spiking, due to Trumps illegal war, he’s letting Russia profit.

    This feels such a playbook to bring Russia back into the fold, distract from all the pedophiles in the Epstein files and let Ukraine get taken by Putin.

  11. Lifting Russian sanctions while Putin tells Iran how to kill Americans. What a disgrace.

    He’s so in the bag for Russia. He wants that Russian money. He’s such a mark. He will sell us out in a heart beat.

    Vladimir Putin recently offered Donald Trump a massive economic proposal, potentially worth up to 9 trillion, to secure a favorable resolution to the war in Ukraine. This deal includes access to Russian minerals and joint projects in return for lifting sanctions.

    I guess Trump has decided to accept the bribe.

    I wonder how much money will go directly into his or his family’s pockets?

  14. ninjazxninja6r on

    That is likely the worst foreign policy decision ever made. Literally handing Russia a win and a move closer to Europe.

    Ukrainians will die as a direct result of this decision.

    Meanwhile he wants Ukraine to help the American forces fight against drones from Iran?!?

  16. Nothing screams “I’m not a russian asset” like behaving exactly like a russian asset. Putin must have reminded him that he has extra files.

  17. Uh… What?

    How is it not obvious to even the most delusional die-hard MAGAs at this point?

    Unbelievable! Russia gave Iran intelligence on the location of U.S. troops, some military were killed because of this. It’s almost like he’s rewarding Russia for the death of some of our military members.

  19. Jack up the price of oil by attacking Iran and then, despite Russia helping Iran, ease sanctions on Russia’s oil sales.

    He’s absolutely helping Putin (not that it wasn’t obvious before).

  20. He’s scared of oil prices. The idiot who killed renewable energy and EVs is now sweating the price of oil.

    He’s the fucking worst.

  21. America First, who are you fooling? Russia was just caught supplying Iran with intelligence on US Troops and US bases in the region. Plus, recent US intelligence confirmed Russia has used a microwave weapon against US CIA officers and other US agents. And our Bone spurs president is now rewarding Russia’s actions by lifting sanctions on Russian oil. By far the dumbest and most corrupt president in US history!

  22. **This is the point of the Iran war.**

    Oil is Russia’s main export.

    Russia was going broke trying to fund their war against Ukraine.

    This war instantly boosts the Russian economy.

    If Ukraine falls, the Iran war will be why. The U.S. isn’t going to be supplying Ukraine with weapons if we’re using the weapons in Iran. How much assistance can Europe give Ukraine if they get dragged into the war in Iran. How much assistance can Europe afford to give as their energy prices go sky high due to the war in Iran?

    Meanwhile, Putin is just laughing and laughing. And Pro-Russia Republicans are loving it too.
