Geopolitical "Ouch!": Putin says 755 U.S. Diplomats Must Leave Russia

[greenygreen]

You can't be this dense?
There is no way you can be this lame without being a certified troll...

Most high cognitively functioning people that understand why we have a special hotline from the White House to the Kremlin, understand there is a reason for this special hotline. The primary reason is to prevent a nooklear clash between countries that could obliterate one another and the rest of the world. Diplomacy in theory is suppose to keep the peace continuous, even when contentious. Removing diplomacy, removes opportunities to keep contentions at bay.............you dumb fuuck you.

Are you trying to be the Arch HillRod ClitRider that bad?
Do you not understand what a real life WW3 scenario would look like?

However, hopefully your nonchalance is correct, Don Cheeto has to either sign (which would be dumb as fuuck too) or flat out veto the bill that idiot ass Congress just sent to him, to sanction Russia based on a lie about him .....so there is that possibility.

........and all the while the MsM refuses to report on the Awan IT brothers with connections to Debbie Wasserman Schultz as head of the DNC......

High % of this board is practically begging for nuclear war

Heard Trump met a person with a Russian accent once

I'm more interested in seeing how the Germans, Austrians, and French respond to the sanctions passed. The Germans are pissed that the Nordstream gas pipeline with Russia may be disrupted by these sanctions, Macron says they may violate international law.

The US natural gas industry is trying to get into Europe but the Europeans don't want more expensive energy when the pipelines being built offer easy logistical and cheap delivery.

That's straight from their foreign ministry

EU and Russia condemn proposed new US sanctions on Moscow - France 24

Oil and gas fears: EU

The EU also warned it was ready “to act to protect European interests” if the sanctions legislation damaged the blocs dealings with the Russian energy sector. Brussels is concerned that the new sanctions will adversely affect European firms as well as oil and gas projects on which the EU states rely.

France’s foreign ministry declared the sanctions appear to be illegal under international law while a German foreign ministry spokesman accused Washington of carrying out industrial policy under the guise of sanctions – something Berlin “could not accept”.

"The US bill could have unintended unilateral effects that impact the EU's energy security interests," said European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.

"If our concerns are not taken into account sufficiently, we stand ready to act appropriately within a matter of days. 'America First' cannot mean that Europe's interests come last," Juncker threatened, mentioning President Donald Trump's guiding slogan.

Officials say the EU could use regulations allowing it to stop the United States applying extraterritorial measures, demand that the US exclude EU energy companies from the sanctions, or even introduce bans on the EU doing business with particular US companies. A further option is for the EU to file a complaint with the World Trade Organisation.

End of EU-USA vs Russia?

Brussels is also furious at the unilateral action by Washington as usually the EU and USA cooperate closely on measures against Russia.

The EU and US first imposed sanctions on Russia after its annexation of Crimea, as Moscow was accused of backing a separatist insurgency to halt Ukraine's pivot to the West.

The two sides later imposed broader economic sanctions after the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 in July 2014, which international investigators say was downed by a Russian missile fired from rebel-held territory.

The US bill will now head to the Senate before Trump faces the tricky choice of whether to use his veto. The bill effectively constitutes a rebuke of Trump – who has frequently lauded Russian President Vladimir Putin while calling for closer relations with Moscow. It requires the President to get lawmakers' permission before relaxing any sanctions on Russia.

Its ridiculous. Why can't people use logic instead of politicizing everything.
We are headed down the path of war and MSM egging it on.
