Sandy Loam 108 Posted June 26 2 hours ago, Ron_Artest said: I think it has more to do with NATO knowing how to play Trump now. Before they stood up to him, now they know that they can just kiss his ass, bribe him, make him look good and he'll do whatever they want. Netanyahu knows this, the rest of the world is catching on. Whatever it takes to keep him from screwing up our country and the whole world. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore troubadour 15,432 Posted June 26 Yeah, they played him. They have contributed a trillion since he told them to buck up last time. And now they are going to give more. Except Spain. But Trump said he’ll make them pay on trade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ron_Artest 1,532 Posted July 2 Trump lifted sanctions on Russian banks to build power plants in Hungary. They will use that money to fund the war against Ukraine. Trump has issued no other new sanctions as the Biden sanctions erode away. He's also been lifting other sanctions against oligarchs in the construction industry, a likely kickback. Trump has exempted Russia from all tariffs. Trump has also recently paused missle and ammo shipment to Ukraine. Meanwhile the Russian aggression has ramped up in recent weeks.

Perhaps it’s you that need to do some reading. You're probably referring to the Rosemont Seneca Thornton transaction. First it was the mayor's wife, not the mayor. It was given to Devon Archer, not Hunter's "firm". It happened in 2014 before Biden was even president and the sanctions were imposed. This was investigated by the House oversight committee and there was no wrong doing.

Should he have? Sure. Makes sense. Trump removed sanctions from oligarchs that Biden sanctioned. You were peddling in propaganda as I previously showed that oligarchs were NOT giving millions to Hunters firm. Take the day off and try again tomorrow.

The Real timschochet 6,764 Posted July 10 Trump finally realizes he’s been played by Putin for years? Reminds me strongly of Neville Chamberlain finally waking up in March of 1939 after Hitler invaded Prague, realizing that he had been made a fool of. Trump’s got less excuse than old Neville but hey at least now we’re starting to move in the right direction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
