Just gonna leave this here…
Undercut NATO, attempted to stop weapons deals with Ukraine secretly and illegal beyond what is allowed but the executive branch, pushed discredited propaganda that Ukraine had undermined out elections, pushed turkey to Russia and then pulled out letting Turkey and Russia crush the kurds enhancing Russia's footprint in Syria and guaranteeing turkey will not move towards the EU in our lifetime. Publicly supported Russia keeping Crimea, his aides removed GOP platform language that supported Ukraine, repeatedly use the bully pulpit too. Spread Russian disinformation that hacking wasn't actually happening even though 2/3 of all attacks happens from Russia including ones that have targeted our hospitals in Americans have died from, had his team call up Russia before he was president to undermine the sanctions from the current president Obama, pushed to remove all sanctions on Russia, pushed to return Russian diplomatic sites in new york to Russia even that they were suspected of being used as spy bases and were taken after crimes, gave the Russians classified information Unilaterally that Even GOP members said probably exposed the source of the intelligence, thanked Russia for kicking out our diplomats, undid sanctions on the oligarchs, congratulated Putin on an election win after he basically dismantled a fair election and appointed all of his own governors. Solidifying further power and reducing Russia's democracy, tried to undermine sanctions following the skripal poisoning, blocked John Bolton from mentioning the 10th anniversary of Russia invading south Ossetia, regularly praise pro-Russian leaders and Europe while undermining traditional western leaders in Europe, supported the Communist invasion into Afghanistan by the Soviets, invited Russia to the G7 summit and pushed for their return to the G8, directed the CIA to share intelligence information to Russia, ordered US troops to draw down in Germany.


I dunno a few more I'm sure.

Dumbass
Probably the same idiot who thought the Russian invasion of Ukraine had anything to do with an ex-U.S. President who hasn't been in power for over a year.

A question I wish Biden would’ve answered a moment ago.

“If sanctioning Putin is on the table why not do it now?”

He chose not to comment on whether or not he’s in talks with China.
China is the fastest way to hurt or help Russia. If you don't bring them into play, they could easily undermine most of our diplomatic and financial penalties on Russia. They can back door resources, currency, etc. This increasingly leaves only force on the table. Anybody who thinks that Biden can afford to be tough on China and create a unified front against Russia in Ukraine without spiraling into a hot war is deluding themselves. Any other president would be stuck in the same position no matter their predisposition towards or against china.

Can somebody give me a specific example where sanctions were highly effective?

Biden is saying crippling sanctions. Do these administrative measures really have teeth in the short term? It sounds like when a condo strata council hands out a fine for moving in on Sunday.

I tried to get them to leave


im surprised it’s this low
These casualty updates always start like this, including for massive natural disasters. 'Tsunami wipes out half of Asia, 3 confirmed dead'.

It's pointless.

They fucked up the Apartheid government in South Africa fairly well, didn't they? Took a good few years to achieve change though.

Sanctions are a way of being a pussy and trying to placate the stupid.

I am banned from altering the tmmac event calendar. Do you think I give two chocolate frosted fucks? I don't but it was a way to keep the calender for other girly haired snowflakes.

I had a really good idea on how to upgrade the site the other day, but couldn't post it on the thread.

So I told kirik instead and he purchased a new Bentley yesterday.

Fuck yourselves

They are not very effective at regime change but they are highly effective at turning countries into shitholes that can't be any sort of geostrategic threat.

The problem here is that they might be too effective. Back Russia into a corner to the point it has nothing to lose and it says fuck it and goes after the Baltic states and threatens to let nukes fly.
