Until the results of this past election, Russia wasn’t on anyone’s radar. How have the neocons managed to whip up so much frenzy over nothing? China and North Korea are our real enemies. Russia is the natural ally of western Christendom.
Hey, krauts, go pound some Wurst
Dumkopfen!
Hey, Krauts, go schlong yourselves!
After all you’ve done in the last 100 years, and all that we’ve done for you, if you’re that much a bunch of ingrates, then GFY!
This wasn’t Trump’s doing. The Senate passed it to get even with Russia for tampering with our election, and even put a clause that the President cannot use lifting sanctions as a bargaining tool.
What a hypocrite she is.
And this is coming from the Senate, adding that Trump can’t negotiate with Russia.
If you’re looking for a Russian Spy it’s Merkel
