1st steps towards peace. Thank you president Trump

Putins response has been a de facto no, Trump may well try and take it as a yes, because Trump is very weak.
Putin has a hold over Trump

Trump claims much harder sanctions on Russia…..but I guarantee that amounts to FA

How much more can Russia be sanctioned anyway.

His hands really are small!

I thought it was just a joke!

Stormy D said he was a small man, I suppose smaller hands is more appropriate then

That's a hellova lot of broom handles.

It's actually €800 billion. So, a thousand times more broom handles!

But seriously, Germany have just agreed to change their constitution to allow unlimited spending on defence, instead of intentionally hobbling their military. A lot of people, especially in Russia, are fearful of a fully re-armed Germany. Add to that all the countries now considering building nuclear weapons. We may all end up longing to go back to the cosy comfort of Pax Americana.

Unless the West goes go all in on preventing oil and gas being transported, then I have been reading that there is not much more that the US can do. But stopping oil and gas would cause a massive spike in prices and leave some poorer countries actually short of energy.

A good point. Russia has been sanctioned for years. It doesn't have much of an impact on them. We are still buying their gas and oil.

Not much

There are now established routes that avoids sanctions, I believe through the various ‘Stan’ countries, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan (I couldn’t tell you which or where they are on the map to each other)

And Trump is an ally of Russia so I doubt he would actually do sanctions, it’s just headline making rhetoric

Stop getting so triggered

My post was merely adding context to the discussion.
Anybody with comprehension skills can see there’s nothing indicating being triggered.

Poor Highway Nan is desperately flinging around insults randomly because he is out of his depth

You do seem triggered

You do seem triggered

He is very triggered

In fact I will go as far as to say I have never seen anyone so triggered.

 

[pete01]

He is very triggered

I've seen him triggered before but not this triggered

Yes he is very easily triggered but not to this extent.
