...The U.S. Treasury announced on Dec. 20 that it would lift sanctions imposed in April on the core businesses of Deripaska, including aluminum giant Rusal its parent En+ and power firm EuroSibEnergo, watering down the toughest penalties imposed since Moscow's 2014 annexation of Crimea.

Cause the Republicans have no balls!!!!! They're ineffective of pushing an agenda,sticking together, and /or staying on msg w/ some houtzpa behind it. They're to worried about their friends across the isle. They crap their pants at the thought their dinner this Friday night w some big lib "democrap" friends will be uncomfortable. They're all but worthless,spineless wimps helping to flush this country down the sewer . In short-they DO NOT LOVE THIS COUNTRY ENOUGH TO DO WHAT NEEDS TOO BE DONE! After a lifetime as an identifying Republican, I can now say, after a WASTED last 2 years, 2 yrs if mist fighting there own President, most of em make me wantta puke! PHONIES until they want your vote!😡

Strange position you have there. Do you know that many Russians believe that the US let them take the brunt of the Nazi’s attacks at a great loss of human lives? They resent us for that(and many other things).

My position on Russia was formed by research and actually being in Russia.

Oh my. Who knew you are a Russian scholar? At any rate the next time you're rubbing elbows with the intelligentsia you might mention that it was Stalin who entered into a non-aggression pact w Hitler and that the USA had nada, zip, zilch to do with Operation Barbarossa. Rather it was their embrace of bolshevism that set Hitler off.
