Agree. And dems and RINOs in congress are pushing legislation linking Ukraine money to Biden border shenanigans.

--- "I have read that Russia sells oil to India. India then refines the oil. The the U.S. buys the oil on the open market. It that is true, then, how is that sanction working?"

To further document your reading:

"One of the Indian refineries and ports accepting Russian crude is in Vadinar, and run by a company called Nayara Energy, which is 49.1% -owned by Russian state oil giant Rosneft. The CREA estimated that the US imported $63 million worth of oil products refined in Vadinar in 2023, and that about half the crude used in the plant was Russian. All of which is entirely above board."

In spite of all the heated -- and often stupid -- arguments on FR threads, this much is certain. The sanctions regime in the EU is well over a dozen now, and nothing seems to do much more than penalize the EU member states. As to the US sanctions, more and more trade is now being conducted in currency other than the USD and through avenues not the SWIFT system and BIC. Who's losing business and/or paying more? Surprise! We are.

Trump wanted to make "deals." Democrats and RINOs and the EU hawks want to make world war by proxy, over a small and sad war between two non-NATO nations.

Small note: all the above hotlinks are to mainstream media.

Fire away, senile Joe’s sanctions are strengthening Russia every day and harming the West ….talk about shooting yourselves in the foot! … case in point- no more Swift for Russia….Russia bypasses Swift, organizes Brics, others for their own global system… two,” don’t buy Vlad’s energy or commodities”, Vlad forbids his vast resources sold to the West- prices go vertical for the West, Vlad takes in more cash….the West pays much more for commodities and energy bankrupting Western companies….

Vlad holds all the cards, senile Joe a corrupted, senile clown harming America at every turn.

We weren’t imposing “major” restrictions before?

This perhaps is double major restrictions!😉

Navalny was a CIA asset.

This just convinces me more Navalny was a CIA hit. If Putin had actually been behind it, (and we had leaders who were remotely ethical and competent) there would be an effort to investigate and gather evidence before rushing to implement a punitive policy.

So in acting without the bother of an investigation or evidence, they are unintentionally emphasizing that they don't care what the facts are - which implies they know the facts would not be in their favor.

What the 0’Biden Regime is really upset about is that they lost one of their big CIA assets that they were funding to try to overthrow Putin so that a Globalist puppet can be installed in the Kremlin.

"Navalny was a CIA asset."

It saddens me that you and I seem to be the only ones who are aware of that.

So, the US poisoned Navalny and blamed it on Moscow to embolden their coup goals.

Figures.

During Putin's recent interview with Tucker Carlson, Putin said the CIA blew up the Nord Stream Pipeline.   (See this link referencing that quote to Tucker.)

(Sorry for the source I used for that Tucker reference -- it was the first one that came up in the search for it.)

Do you think this death is connected with that quote from Putin?

Yep. I’ve seen some “avgeek” videos of people who found ways to fly to Russia from Europe on the last commercial flight from from Europe. For the most part, Russia appears normal, subways are clean and run on time, airport is normal, etc. Only major issues are you need to use cash and they have their own version of McDonalds, etc.

Worth a watch

Are we sanctioning the Ukes over the murder of innocent Ameeican citizen, Gonzalo Lira, while in custody? Sanctions? Putin must love that. The sanctions, to date, have done nothing but strengthen Russia and weaken the West. I’m sure Putin’s reaction to hearing this is, Great! Let’s the good times roll!

“An awesome troll by Maria Zakhorova...”

The QUALITY of the people in Russia’s government is FAR BETTER than anything we’ve had since Reagan.
