Summary
The White House has directed the State and Treasury Departments to draft a proposal for lifting some U.S. sanctions on Russia as part of Trump’s effort to restore ties and end the Ukraine war.
The proposal could ease restrictions on select Russian entities and oligarchs, though it’s unclear what the U.S. would receive in return.
Trump has signaled openness to sanctions relief despite previously threatening harsher measures.
Talks between U.S. and Russian officials have intensified, with economic cooperation, including rare earth minerals, emerging as a key topic.
String up the traitors
I’m surprised it took this long. He’s already selling U.S. citizenship to Russian mobsters, so why not let them run wild and finish what you started - destroying America.
Reward your friends, punish your enemies. Trump showing that he views Russia as an ally, and Canada as a threat.
You Americans need to prove that 2A is useful and shoot this treasonous cunt.
Get ready for weapon sales for Russia!
the secret service will be extra busy.
Yeah I figured this would happen. And when the cost of gas goes up because of his Tarrifs we’ll be buying oil from Russia again…
If the US does lift sanctions on select oligarchs from Russia, I think the EU should consider sanctions on select oligarchs from the US.
I can suggest one such oligarch, Elon Musk - he’s associated with wielding illegitimate power, manipulating social media and interfering in elections (both national and primary) using wealth.
How about freezing his assets? I don’t think he has taken the prudent step of collecting all his money and stowing it under Donald’s presidential seat.
And another piece of evidence that Trump is nothing but a Russian agent in the Oval Office. When will the US media finally start to ask about this?
they did that a long time ago
And another piece of evidence that Trump is nothing but a Russian agent in the Oval Office.
Russian puppet, FTFY.
No puppet! No puppet! Yer the puppet! —Puppet in Chief
Or “asset”. He may do what Putin wants, but he’s not out there decoding messages or leaving dead drops! Yeah, I watched The Americans on FX…
Great show!
When Ukraine’s president surprisingly shifted towards Russia, the people engaged in civil disobedience until there was a new president.
What will the US do?
A US backed coup is not “civil disobedience” lol
kindly, Fuck off.
A couple of suspicious sounding phone calls intercepted from an embassy, when every embassy in the country was having their own discussions about their preferred outcome to the collapse of a government, do not influence millions of Ukrainians who know their own country and government, to take to the streets in a riot over being betrayed over something they voted for.
Nothing. 50% of the country loves their strongman president more than freedom or common sense
And the other 50% thinks that the best avenue for social change is to attack people who don’t like the latest Disney movie.
You’re framing that as a difference in taste when in reality it was a difference in having shitty bigoted views or not. Haven’t you fuckers muddied the water enough?
Less than a third of eligible voters voted for Trump.

Man, what kind of blackmail do they have on trump?
None,
he’s a kindred spirit in the genocidal warmongering asshole category.
I suspect they’re the ones who bailed him out back in the 90’s when he was almost completely bankrupt. They owned him ever since
Did he ever look happy since he was elected again?
seeing as trump usually gets away with anything it must be really bad
somebody tell me when did America and Russia become allies? i think i missed that part of history class
Officially? Jan. 20, 2025
Uh, very briefly for 4 years between 1941 and 1945, and then more or less at war at all other times of history.
Republicans have always loved Russia and the Commies right?
oh you see Russia is actually, and Im being 100% serious when Im saying this, a bastion of capitalism. its the end result of capitalism.
its just the crony capitalism where society has regressed into a class structure with peasants, nobles, and all of that.
Is there another form of end stage capitalism?

Kick the US out of Nato and any special status in the UN. Sanction the everliving fuck out of everything US. This will destroy the retirement I was at least partially expecting to get, but fuck it.
neither of those things are possible.
DJT is where he is, because of legalese. and as far as alliances and memberships to intnl groups go, the US is untouchable.
I would like to see mass sanctions on the US. Isolate the crap out of them.
Trump is such a master negotiator. Betray our allies, threaten to leave the UN, stop all cyber security operations against Russian, lift sanctions against Russia that are working, block Ukraine from joining the UN, and say that any chance of ending the war has to result in Ukraine ceding stolen territory.
All before negotiations even start. What a mastermind.
There should be a rule in UN that any threat made to leave UN by the leader of the country should lead to immediate suspension from the UN.
the UN is just a clubhouse where people agree to talk. nothing more
No country with nuclear weapons gives a flying fuck about what anyone at the UN says, coincidentally, many of them are permanent security council members.
Ukraine is part of the UN. I think you meant NATO.
You are correct
Kind of proves there is no deep state right? Feels like they might have given the praetorian guard a nod.
And red voters will still find ways to deny that he’s Putin’s little bitch boy
Whether or not he’s a Russian asset is ultimately irrelevant. All that matters is that he is acting like a Russian asset. He’s doing everything a Russian asset would do. So it doesn’t actually matter if Putin has kompromat on Trump, because he is clearly willing to act like an asset even if he’s not.
Did he run out of fucks?
He probably did, but right now all that matters is putting out all the international fires the US is starting, or at least preparing to survive them.
He ran out of the need to hold elections
Codename Krasnov sure giving a lot away to Russia for nothing in exchange. Is this the Art of the Deal?
The Art of the Deal with It.
This is so wrong. I hate what we’ve become. As an American, I’ve never been proud of what this country has done but I’ve never been THIS ashamed. I feel like a joke.
To help Putin, he is bankrupting USA just like how he bankrupted his casinos.
There’s no more room for nuance. We (that is, our government) are the baddies. Straight up.
So let’s stop beating around the bush at what has to be done, violent revolution is the only path to freedom.
I’m approximately 2,700 miles from DC, so I’ll need several days’ notice for when the violent insurrection will be.
Can it wait a few more months? I need a bit more PTO. Rent doesn’t pay itself.
There is plenty of room for nuance, there’s just no nuance to be had.
So rise up against tyranny.
