Trump drops the hammer - cuts off all Russian oil sales to the EU

[marvin martian]

The EU leaders are going to be deeply sorry they destroyed energy production in their own countries in service to the green agenda.

Russia is going to suffer immensely from the economic blow to their main export. Putin no longer has the favoritism Biden showed to the Russian banks he and Vlad were in cahoots with.

This will get Putin to the negotiating table, and likely sign off on the ceasefire Trump got Ukraine to agree to.

Winning.

It needs to be done.

Who in the hell funds one side in Russia and then demands America fund the other side?!

Trump warned Germany in front of the world at the UN in his first term and they laughed as they continued to buy Russian oil.

I mean wtf is going on? We have to support free speech, it is being hurt in Europe. We have to support defended borders, and it's being eliminated by the far-left and fools in Europe. We need to stand up to China and too many in the world want to replace America with China...I mean, what in the actual F.

Trump is playing hard ball and like it or not, as a pro-American, pro-Canadian (for those who actually love our country, Due Process and Rights to Self Determination), I want a strong, vibrant, solvent America AND Canada.

While Biden, Putin, and Zelensky raked in the profits, the EU spent far more on Russian oil and gas than they did on Ukraine's defense.

Trump just put a stop to that.

Trump choked off Putin's oil business, and lo and behold, Putin is ready to negotiate:

Any comments on how this will affect Putin's decision to work with the new Cease Fire proposal?

Is OMB doing the carrot/stick deal? Will it piss Putin off to the point that he counterattacks??

It won't. It's not about Putin at all. He simply doesn't care.

It's more about forcing Europe not jeopardize Trumps approach (whatever it is).

It's not about authority. It's about capability.

That ought to put a dent in the Russian economy, but isn't China the largest buyer of Russian oil?

Do business with Russia, don't do business with the U.S.

 

[Zavulon]

No, it simply can't.

but isn't China the largest buyer of Russian oil?

Yes. But its not about Russia. Its about Europe.

The US was funding both sides of the Ukraine war.

Now it's not funding either.

Like the President said, common sense.

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

How does the president of the United States have the authority to stop oil sales to Europe?

Because the European countries have to pay for Russian oil with US dollars. To do that, they have to use a money exchange that The United States controls. The United States put a ban on using the exchange to buy Russian oil.

And more Americans use dollar as weapon -lesser it is useful as a currency.
What Europeans will prefer - to pay for the oil with gold, or to destroy their own economies?
