  Trump is waiving all sanctions imposed on Russia… First, he signed the bill, and now he’s issued an EO to overturn it. He IS Putin’s little bitch. Pathetic. 😎✨

  What part of enforcing a law passed 86-11 by the Senate does the President and his advisors not understand? It’s unconscionable that this administration is capitulating to a Russian dictator who illegally invaded Ukraine and butchers innocent civilians every single day,” Sen. Tillis wrote on the social platform X. Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) posted…

  Giving Russia a free pass is in our “national interest”? Trump signed this law less than 30 days ago, and has now exempted every single new sanction meant to stop Putin’s war machine. Every. Single. One. 🧵

  For years, critics of President Trump accused him of welcoming help from Russia to tilt elections in his favor. Now, with midterm elections in the United States two weeks away, Mr. Trump is explicitly seeking economic support from Russia. https://www. nytimes.com/2026/10/17/busines s/trump-russia-sanctions-congress.html # Ukraine # Russia # US

  Mr. Smith said that he was surprised that Mr. Trump had opted against imposing any of the sanctions and noted that it gave the appearance that the president was turning away from Ukraine and toward Moscow. Gave the appearance? Trump always has been firmly behind Putin doing his utmost to thwart any help going to Ukraine. It's just that recently…

  Trump sending billions $$$ to Russia via oil sales and lifting economic sanctions. You're ignoring that Russia can't supply enough diesel for itself. So where is it coming from? Iran. We are buying Iranian diesel, to support both Russia AND the Iranian regime we are at war with.

  Trump blocking Lindsey Graham Act sanctions is guaranteed to expand, extend and escalate fascist Russia’s war against Ukraine and the United States. That’s precisely why Putin ordered Trump to do it.

  If you want to just sit back and give up fine. But don’t demand other people do the same before the fights even started. Giving up and letting them do what they want because you think it’s inevitable is exactly what they want because it’s the only way they can win.

  Trump signed an executive order Friday suspending sweeping tariffs and sanctions targeting Russia, just two days before they were set to take effect under the Lindsey Graham sanctions law he signed last month. Trump told Congress the move was in the U.S. “national interest.”

  Yup. He is a Russian asset because Putin has so much dirt on him. Putin probably asked him to lift all Russian sanctions before he becomes a lameduck after midterm election

  ⚡ Zelenskyy: Trump’s refusal to tighten sanctions only emboldens Putin and undermines efforts to end the war. Lindsey Graham’s bill proposed tariffs of up to 100% on buyers of Russian energy, plus sanctions on Russian officials, banks, and the shadow fleet.
