Trump administration to hit Russia with new sanctions for Skripal poisoning

 

[BULLDOG]

The ONLY reason why Trump did this is because he had to. Trump has taken NO actions against Russia of his own free will. Without Trump being forced, there would be no sanctions on Russia at all.

What sanctions do you think there should be and why? I'm not saying there shouldn't be any; I'm just asking your opinion. Do you place any value in the deescalation of hostility between Russia and the United States?

 

[Darkman00]

^ ^ There is always someone forcing someone else's hand ... Washington is just one big theater ... and all of them are just actors playing in it

 

[playtime]

only because they had to follow a law that has been in effect since 1991.



"Following the use of a 'Novichok' nerve agent in an attempt to assassinate UK citizen Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia Skripal, the United States, on August 6, 2018, determined under the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act of 1991 (CBW Act) that the Government of the Russian Federation has used chemical or biological weapons in violation of international law or has used lethal chemical or biological weapons against its own nationals.

"Following a 15-day Congressional notification period, these sanctions will take effect upon publication of a notice in the Federal Register, expected on or around August 22, 2018."

US to impose new sanctions on Russia for poisoning ex-spy in the UK

Again, President Trump has done more in less than 2 years to punish the Russians for their actions than Barry did over 8 years...

...and over in La La Land CNN, they were falling all over themselves trying to find a way to attack Trump for doing it without sounding Pro-Russia/Putin...

. Bwuhahahaha

Only Because, Congress said so.

But Trump had to be nudged by Congress into unleashing the penalties after blowing more than a month past a statutory deadline. The government had two months after a formal congressional request in March for Trump to determine whether Russia had violated international law. After the deadline came and went with no response, Trump was called out in late July by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce, NBC News first reported.

Russia has ramped up their submarine presence along our east coast. So what would you have Trump do? Call on his Navy to start sinking them?

Serious question.

Of course I would prefer deescalation of hostilities between Russia and the U.S. but that is not possible when Russia continues to do things like interfering in our elections, or killing people on England's soil. Russia earned those sanctions, and it would be stupid, and against the interest of the U.S to just pretend that didn't happen. Using your logic, we should release all the murders in our prisons in the interest of deescalating hostilities between murderers and our legal system.

Trump hasn't willingly done a single thing to punish Russia since he has been in office. Please point out any of his actions against Russia that he had a choice in.

 

[easyt65]

Again, Trump has done more in less than 2 years to punish Russia for its actions than Obama did in 8 years.

Instead of PUNISHING Putin, Barry gave him 20% of the US supply uranium.

Barry turned his back on the Ukraine, ignoring the promise that we would help them protect their sovereign borders. Instead of stepping up against Putin, Barry backs down and allows Russia to annex Crimea.

Barry knew about Russia"s interference, hacking attempts, and conducting a Counter Intelligence Operation in the US ... Instead of doing anything to stop it or punish Russia, Barry allowed it to continue....because he was sucking up to Vlad to get his approval to drag the US into ANOTHER Un-Constitutional war, this one in Syria.

Instead of PUNISHING Russia and Putin, Barry was kissing their ass while letting them do whatever they wanted.

So now we have a President who HAS punished Russia, not aid and abet them in invading countries and ransacking and pillaging in the US...like Barry did.

Instead of holding their treasonous 'messiah' accountable in any way, snowflakes would rather attack the President WHO HAS PUNISHED RUSSIA MORE IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS THAN BARRY DID IN 8!

lol. Only because Congress said so.

But....But....But....

Barry was Putin's bitch.

Vlad had Barry begging him for permission to invade Syria in exchange for doing whatever he wanted in the US...

Automatic sanctions under a pre-Trump law were triggered when the State Department determined Russia had used a chemical (Skripal) weapon. In the case of automatic sanctions, Trump didn't need to be dragged, kicking and screaming, into applying them, as was necessary when he didn't enact earlier sanctions ordered by Congress in a timely fashion.

Yeah, Trump is some kind of tough.

 

[Stratford57]

Former Pentagon official Michael Maloof echoed that sentiment, saying that “you have Donald Trump’s foreign policy and you now have the Trump administration’s foreign policy.” He added that the sanctions are being orchestrated by the deep state to “make the president look bad and basically to corner him.”

The former US diplomat also noted Washington’s hypocrisy in its demands. “Is Russia going to submit to on-site inspections by the United States?” he asked, while pointing out that the US itself hasn’t destroyed its chemical stocks under the Chemical Weapons Convention. “This is a completely topsy-turvy world when it comes to these accusations.”

“Obviously, Russia’s had a significant hand in putting down Al-Qaeda and ISIS, and blocking a lot of things that the US establishment had there,” Earl Rasmussen, executive vice-president of the Eurasia Center said.

Mike Pompeo is part of the 'Deep State' now? Did you ask Q-anon about that?

 

[ThoughtCrimes]

The Russian oligarchs that were supposed to be sanctioned last fucking year have had plenty of time to restructure their US investments and protect themselves. Trump gave them plenty of time, since the spring of 2017, and now Putin gave his puppet the go ahead to put the sanctions into effect. The process started in Jan 2017, 17 months ago!

Dateline: Apr 5, 2018
"One U.S. official noted that the delay in initiating sanctions against the oligarchs responsible for meddling in the 2016 U.S. election has muted their effect. He said that the oligarchs have had a year to restructure their U.S. holdings. "They had to know these were coming," he said.

The sanctions process is laborious and often takes weeks but decisions as to who would be on the list were made in the last few days, said one U.S. official. The intelligence community played a role in identifying the targets.

The administration compiled and released a "naming and shaming" list of nearly 100 Russian oligarchs in January under a 2017 law called CAATSA that allows retribution for Russian interference in the election and Russian actions in Ukraine and Syria. The individuals to be sanctioned Friday were identified under CAATSA, but may be sanctioned under a different authority, said one official."
~~ New Russia sanctions will likely target oligarchs close to Putin ~~

Ya, anything critical of the dems on Facebook and Twitter is now considered of Russian origin

I almost never argue the legitimacy of a source, but RT is funded by the Russian government. I don't think that's where you go for an unbiased opinion piece on this topic.
