Die USA setzen einige Sanktionen gegen den russischen Ölgiganten Lukoil aus – The Moscow Times

TACO Thursday, a new tradition.

its TACO time

Look the headline is all doom and gloom but you read the fine print and it says, ‘the money can’t flow back to Russia.’ 

Like okay, I hate McDonald’s too but at least Sally can keep her franchise running which effectively keeps food on the table for Jon, Joe, and Steve (her workers). But Ronald 🤡 won’t be getting a cut.

Who bought stock in Lukoil recently?

Ah so while he bitches about Europeans buying Russian LNG, he goes around and does this?

Seems kinda hypocritical.

Ukraine is winning by forcing an economic collapse in Russia.

The US has betrayed Nato and Ukraine, actively helping Russia.

This is why Congress needs to pass their sanctions bill already… It’s been 8 months since it was introduced… That’s 8 months of breathing room for Moscow and has made the war last even longer.

These sanctions on Lukoil and Rosneft weren’t anything more than an Executive Order having the Treasury add those entities to a list. Which only even happened because Trump, having delayed for months on these ’negotiations‘, was under pressure from Republicans. But since it was an E.O., now he can simply remove them. This also tells you why Moscow is going through the motions of talks and feigning interest in peace – its successfully buying them time.

Also, the legislation isn’t perfect. It STILL defers to a president’s determination on the matter. Which means he can simply choose to not execute it. We’re basically stuck in this loophole of, „if Moscow says they’re engaged in talks, then nothing can happen.“ Congress won’t pass bills that undermine Trump, Trump will sit on his hands, and Putin has a carte blanche to keep attacking.

Just in time, I’m not sure I could have withstood another week with gas prices at $2.50 per gallon. /s
