Agreed. The Deep State continues to oppose the election results.
Two rotten parties, one rotten ideology: Globalism.
I’m soooo confused. I thought Russia was baaaadddd. Now we find out they are good and we shouldn’t have put sanctions on them?? I wish the globalist would make up their minds.
The anti-Russia idiocy is a sight to behold.
But, if Saudi Arabia gets itself into a real war, there will be some serious money to be made in the oil market.
It appalls me to have to agree with Germany and Austria here.
Our (as if) team is way out of bounds on this one.
And with the full support of the Democrats to boot.
What a great uniparty system we have.
“Putin’s Puppet” imposes new Russia sanctions, and is blasted by the European left. It just gets weirder.
This bill will tie the president’s hands on sanctions with Russia.
Or give him an excuse to keep them. Europe needs more Russian gas like they need a hole in the head. Nordstream 2 is a disaster for every country in Europe outside of Germany.

Our (as if) team is way out of bounds on this one.
Germany and Russia are busy assembling another Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. Support that if you wish. Nothing good will come from it.
By signing on to the issue they have, in the manner they have, the Republicans have agreed that Russia did in fact affect the outcome of our election.
That is what the sanctions are for. It’s a penalty for the Russian interference.
Those boneheads in the U.S. Senate just confirmed all he Democrat subterfuge was the gospel truth.
You tell me, is that a plus for us, for Trump?
No, it absolutely agrees that Russia should be penalized, and leaves Trump hanging because if the Russians did this, there is a remote possibility he could have been involved.
If the Republicans had refused to join this effort, Russia would have been recognized not to have been interfering.
Oh but they were, according to the Republicans at this point.
Talk about handing your attacker a hammer to hit you with...
The Democrats had already accepted that Russian interference was a dead issue, and they were moving on to Obstruction.
The Republicans just told them to get back to Russian interference.
It boggles the mind how inept or devious our team is.
Even the Germans see that Russia is a fake enemy — or at least fake enough not to warrant the GOPe sanctions.
If you were the leader of one of the Baltic states would you like to depend on Russia for your supply of energy? I think not. Other US shipments recently have gone to Spain and Portugal; again, two other nations absolutely dependent on outsiders for their energy. Can they depend on the US to supply their needs? You bet your ass. The LNG world market is being metamorphosed overnight, and both Qatar and Russia will be the losers.
Then come up with a reasonable reason, and run with it.
This is not acceptable.

I think anything to keep the attention away from their high crimes and traitorous actions. This is just a huge smoke screen.
You are day dreaming. Nord Stream 2 has been an issue for years. Anything that prevents a budding Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact 2.0 is a good thing and in the national interest of the United States. That the feckless Germans are hoping mad about this is all you need to know.
I think it is great for the US to export natural gas to Europe. It will keep both Russia and Qatar in check. But I don't think we should use sanctions to deform the market. I think Europe, in their own self interest, would want to import from a variety of sources. This bill is an attempt to stop them from doing that.
Meanwhile the Islamic invasion continues.
The Republicans are unwittingly or in some instances willfully validating sanctions based in part on Russian interference in our elections last November.
The Russians did not interfere with our elections last year. None the less... here's what the Republicans signed onto, "Validating the claims of a bipartisan agreement in part on Russian meddling with our election last November..."
We are trying very hard to rebut that every way possible, and yet here are the Republicans almost universally (in the U.S. Senate), confirming it.
Reuters: The measure is intended to punish Russia for meddling in the 2016 U.S. election... (with other reasons also listed) LINK
NBC: The sanctions are in response to a trio of Russian actions, including their interference in the 2016 election... LINK
CNN: The measure is widely seen as a rebuke to Trump, as it hits Russia with new sanctions to punish Moscow for its interference in US elections... LINK
USA Today: Senate Approves Sanctions Against Russia for Meddling In Presidential Election, other Abuses LINK
Politico: Corker, "I have no idea" if the White House is adequately concerned about Russian intervention in last year's election... LINK
Politico: Schumer, "These additional sanctions will also send a powerful, bipartisan statement that Russia and any other nation who might try to interfere with our elections will be punished." LINK
The Russia hoax is a two-fer.
It shackles Trump; and, it maintains the globalist/neocon/leftist/atheist agenda.
Orwell: “Oceania was at war with Eurasia; therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia.”
They CANNOT let nationalist Christian Russia, nationalist Christian America and some nationalist Mideast countries join forces against globalist Eurabia.
