Not enough sanctions…

Well…with the bullshit that Putin is pulling in Ukraine…just announcing that he recognized two regions as being independent countries…after he spent the past 5 years attacking those provinces by sending Russian soldiers disguised as Ukrainians in to cause mayhem and give him an excuse to send in un-disguised troops that is essentially an invasion based on lies…and the rest of the world, other than China, is standing together to make Putin pay for his unlawful behavior. But, with the sanctions that have been announced by both the US and the EU along with the UK, I still don’t think there are enough of them and I don’t think they are targeting the right people…I do agree with going after the banks in Russia and all of the Duma who voted to give Putin permission to invade…but I also think the next round that should be announced today in my opinion, should go after all of the oligarchs who have been Putin’s cronies and have stolen all of the wealth of Russia over the past 20 years…and that should start by seizing every damn villa, super yacht, bank account, and everything else of these thieves and make sure they can’t travel anywhere in the world or they will be arrested as part of the plot against Ukraine. So, I’m waiting, Biden…and the EU…get after it and make the pain for Russia so great it’s economy crashes and then maybe the people of Russia will get tired of his crap…it’s happened before…geez…

How are those sanctions and tariffs working, trump?

Well…with the latest round of sanctions that the idiot trump imposed on Iran yesterday, the reaction from them was so what? You’ve been imposing sanctions on us for forty years and we’re still here…this, with the announcements from Russia and China that they will ignore any sanctions and still trade with Iran, along with increasing trade between Russia and China, shows that the rest of the world has basically given up on the US since idiot boy started to use his fourth grade understanding of international trade to try to bully the world into doing what he wants. The way that trump is going about trying to punish everyone for everything by using trade along with ignoring our European allies is doing nothing but diminishing our standing in the world and trump’s lies has most of the world ignoring us. Making America great again, huh trump? As the studies start rolling in on the idiotic tariffs that trump has imposed, it appears that he single-handedly has destroyed overseas markets for our agricultural products for a generation or more…killing our largest market by forcing China to go elsewhere for the billions and billions of dollars of soybeans, corn, pork, and every other product that Russia and South American countries are all too happy to supply…and with the long term contracts that have been signed with China, these sales are gone forever. Never in the history of this country has one person done so much to damage our economy as trump…and yet, the farmers keep saying they will vote for him again for some reason…okay, for his unbridled hate and racism…traits that trump voters must share to continue to support him…impeach….
