Trump puts the brakes on new Russian sanctions, reversing Haley’s announcement

[UberNeuman]

President Trump on Monday put the brakes on a preliminary plan to impose additional economic sanctions on Russia, walking back a Sunday announcement by U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley that the Kremlin had swiftly denounced as “international economic raiding.”

Preparations to punish Russia anew for its support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s government over the alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria caused consternation at the White House. Haley said on CBS News’s “Face the Nation” that sanctions on Russian companies behind the equipment related to Assad’s alleged chemical weapons attack would be announced Monday by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.

Is anyone really surprised by this?

No, but things here in DC suggest that this sort of thing may not be a problem that much longer.

For the original Russian sanctions the Trump Administration is suppose to enforcing. How do we know they are enforcing them? Do they have to report to congress on them every now and then?

Well if you believe that Trump is the stable genius he claims to be then they're upholding the sanctions.

He is a puppet. A puppet cannot attack its master.



I think all the leaks about how Trump "wanted to attack" Russians in Syria and that Mattis "talked him out of it" are utter bullshit. These are leaks by the Trump administration meant to make Trump look less like a puppet. Mattis has always been happy to kill civilians and who knows who else in military strikes and he didn't get his dog brain nickname for nothing. Most likely Trump refused to do anything that would anger his boss and then "leaked" that Mattis made him do it.

Oh man! The walls are closing in on trump and he's going for broke.


I'm guessing we will have to wait till the midterms to get this traitor out of office because we know Republicans won't be putting America first.

So is Nikki Haley on the outs? First Trump throws a fit over her advisor being picked as Pence's National Security Advisor (not because he isn't qualified--which he isn't, but because he was #NeverTrump). Then he makes her look the fool for promising new sanctions that never materialized.

So how much longer does Nikki Haley stick around???

Don't worry, trump will be burning everything to the ground on his way out. He's that kid that's crying and throwing everything because he's been sent to his room.

Hopefully not for long.


This whole administration is turning into some kind of political final destination film. Everyone knows they will die somehow (and like half the people are already dead) but nobody knows exactly how or when they will go.

I see it like Final Destination meets Kill Bill.

I agree with the above comment.
That must be some pee tape.
Woosh!

This is awesome news.

The fact that the sociopath, murder-obsessed, warhawk, Zionist puppet Nikki Haley is not rotting away in a cell along with Hillary and Bill Clinton, Mattis, Pompeo, Nuland, Bush, Obama, Cheney, Rumsfeld (I could keep on going) and basically every US president of the past 75 years, besides John F. Kennedy, shows hows sick our whole government is. We've had enough of these war- and domination- obsessed psychos in office.

Wow! That couldn't have been put any better than if it had been done by a Russian Psyop.

Oh god, so cliche. Yes, I'm a Russian spy and I do Putin's bidding due to the fact I'm educated and informed and ashamed of my government's disgusting, war-obsessed nature. Grow up.

So Carter should be in Jail?
Sounds like propaganda to me. Please itemize which Presidents should be in jail for me.

JFK did Bay of Pigs and accelerated the Vietnam war. WTF did Carter or Ford do that would warrant jail time? I don't think you are as informed as you'd like to think.

For that matter what did FDR do that wasn't justified?

I know you're new here, but you should probably understand that this forum tends toward slightly more educated than most. If you walk in and claim shit like this, you're going to get schooled six ways from Sunday.
