Obama is going to drop sanctions on Russia next Spring to get the Iran deal. Count on it.
Now, Congress can impose its own sanctions on Russia. They should do so without haste to prevent such a deal by Obama. They do this by adding Russia (and its closest allies Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrygstan) to the state sponsor of terror list. We also put intense pressure on China to cut relations with Russia and to behave themselves in regards to Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the Spartley islands.
“We also put intense pressure on China to cut relations with Russia and to behave themselves in regards to Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the Spartley islands.”
And how do we do that, exactly???
I don’t know if you have noticed, but China is holding all of the cards when it comes to trade, and supporting the dollar.
