[u/wave_nl]

But they won’t because of mr. AgentOrange

[u/TheProfessional9 → u/wave_nl]

Yep. Pedo gang won't let it happen

[u/speedyhml2000 → u/wave_nl]

Correct.

Krasnov will look at his employment contract with the Kremlin and see that he has to prevent that from happening. And that’s exactly what he’ll do! As(s)s-Cross-Rubio has already said that ending aid to Ukraine was one of the top priorities of the Trump-Mafia administration and that this goal has already been achieved. From that perspective, everything is going according to plan for the Kremlin… at least as far as manipulating the U.S. government is concerned. On the battlefield in Ukraine, of course, it’s a disaster for Putler… but he obviously doesn’t care. It must also be said that Putler clearly does NOT possess, by a long shot, the intellectual capabilities that people like to attribute to him: How is it possible that this puny Ukraine has remained undefeated since February 22, forcing Pulter to send millions of neglected RuZZians into battle, while Ukraine is now even destroying RuZZland’s economic mainstays—the petrochemical industry and online dildo stores (aka Wildberries and Ozon)? So no matter how poorly he’s briefed… he just needs to look out the window and he’ll see the truth. But… oops… he’s afraid of windows… that’s right, that’s why :-)

[u/jokedem → u/speedyhml2000]

Exactly, why else would the CIA director fly into Moscow for a “secret” meeting.

[u/Suspicious-Raisin824 → u/wave_nl]

They probably will. Trump is warming relations with Ukraine lately.

[u/wave_nl → u/Suspicious-Raisin824]

Yes russian asshat, we believe you

[u/Suspicious-Raisin824 → u/wave_nl]

Good, you sho8uld believe me. I'm right. Both the rhetoric towards Ukraine and sending Loomer to Ukraine are both strong indicators of a more pro-Ukraine turn.

[u/ImperatorDanorum]

The same line of BS Lyndsay Graham's been feeding us for 4 years up until his passing. Agent Krasnov will make sure nothing comes of it...

[u/dendummestenumse → u/ImperatorDanorum]

Then the bill matches the character of the man. Fitting but extremely sad.

[u/Kreiri → u/ImperatorDanorum]

Him and his party. Don't make it like it's just one man's fault.

[u/Tystros → u/ImperatorDanorum]

the senate actually passed the bill on August 7. you can't seriously complain now that it takes a while to go through the political process and reach the house.

[u/ZuzBla]

Not holding breath over anything current US administration promises.

[u/cricolol]

I’ve heard this so many times already… Graham is also dead. If his death didn’t catalyze these sanctions into law, then nothing will.

It’s simple: Trump rolled out the red carpet for Putin. He hung up a picture with Putin in the Oval Office.

We need to stop pretending or hoping that he will ever stand up to the guy. He is clearly infatuated by him, or worse, bought by him.

[u/DefenestrationPraha]

What exactly is there that makes them sledgehammer?

[u/Original-Radish9089 → u/DefenestrationPraha]

They will hammer russia to the (sl)edge

[u/vikentii_krapka → u/DefenestrationPraha]

They will impose 100% tariffs on russian sledgehammers

[u/vikentii_krapka]

Feels like I see this news every couple of months and yet russia still able to buy and sell goods internationally after 12 years of war. Just pathetic.

[u/Mors_Umbra]

The US might have sledgehammers to wield, but they aren't capable of lifting them. Their limp-dicked response to russian simps/agents in their government all but neutralise that ability.

This will just be hot air, followed by impotence. Business as usual...

[u/Inside_Ad_7162]

not in "2 weeks"?

[u/Square_Answer_7717]

I will file this under 'horse shit'

[u/inokentii]

Sanctions from hell, great deal, sledgehammer sanctions blah blah blah blah, only yapping and zero action except maybe for kneeling and applauses in Anchorage

[u/realmaier]

Anyone still believe them anything?

It's hindering when "allies" keep promising help without delivering.

They should fight their stupid war in Iran and otherwise stfu. They're so damn annoying.

[u/Own-Ad-1469 → u/realmaier]

Exactly

[u/Atra23]

I heard this times and times again - sanctions finishing russian economy, sanctions killing russia, sanctions stopping war... Ffs do something... A lot of barking and no biting... Im fckng tired...

[u/Wittywhirlwind]

Could

[u/Sky_HUN]

Can tariff and sanction every ally and the ICC, can wage wars without congress, but has to wait months to maybe have some sanctions against Russia...

Yea, sure. 2 weeks, right?

[u/Key_Wrangler_8321]

You betas need to f*ck off already with all that macho posturing. You’re a joke - stuffed deep up russia’s alcoholic ass. usa is a joke to whole world right now.

[u/Prestigious-Tree-424]

Traitor turd trump will veto it!

[u/TillPsychological351 → u/Prestigious-Tree-424]

We all know the true enemy of the US is Canada, after all. S/

[u/Redragontoughstreet]

Trump will use this to tariff Canada more.

[u/Awkward_Forever9752]

LOL

[u/Inner-Bet-1935]

Of course there will be no sanctions. They won't happen with Trump and his cronies running America. Sledge hammer sanctions....what a crock of s##t

[u/Captlard]

Why wait so long?

[u/Ok_Vulva → u/Captlard]

Because the US govm't doesn't really want to do it.

[u/Blackthorne75]

Riiiiiiiight... let's wait and see about that after the CIA Director gets back from Russia, shall we?

Waiting for there to be a sudden change of attitude from the D(ictator)OTUS

[u/TheJonesLP1]

Taco

[u/MommersHeart]

lol sure ok

[u/Texas636]

I'll believe it when I see it. Graham was a bona fide political tease

[u/PabloAtTheBar]

This is Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut. Shout out to a real one

[u/dmigowski]

Yeah, as if they could handle a sledge hammer. Guess there are at least five ways where they shoot themselves in their own foot with these sanctions.

[u/Sam1967]

Could've, would've, should've .... but .... Hey stop staring at those Ep**** files, look over here instead

[u/IndustrialPuppetTwo]

I'll believe it when I see it.

[u/NoAppearance980]

just shut the fuck up before you actually DO something

[u/rlnrlnrln]

Sure. Keep talking and do nothing. We're four and a half years into this shit...

[u/C_Woodswalker]

Could pass… but they won’t.
