Russia is Expecting BAD News Tomorrow

I agree. My impression is that the 50 day threat cannot be very reassuring to Europe or Ukraine. It smacks more of reluctance than determination to act.

It's worse than that. Russia and the US only do 3 Billion in trade a year. It's just not that much of a threat.

These would be what are called "secondary sanctions" which would be levied - in tandem with the EU - on any nations buying Russian oil, gas, or uranium.

The main culprits currently are China, India, and Brazil. The EU will also vote tomorrow on lowering the price cap on Russian oil from $60 a barrel to $45 a barrel.


 
Do you even know what genocide is and why Putin has been indicted for genocide by the world court? Putin refuses to recognize Ukraine as a country and in the territories he has captured the Ukrainian language is banned and all books written in Ukrainian are burned. Then there is the kidnapping of Ukrainian children who are sent far into Russia to be raised as Russians. Does any of that give you a clue?
Sorry, he is not a genocidal maniac.
 
Why sorry? Cause you claim something without any substance? Just because you say so. Isn´t there a section for "feelings" here?
Nope, understanding the meaning of words

He's not saying sanctions on Russia. He's saying sanctions/tariffs on companies that do business with Russia.

This does not make him a "maniac."

It makes Putin a wanted War Criminal. And anyone who kills/murders on the level of Putin is indeed maniacal.

Not according to the West, which is doing everything in its power to aid such a mass murder campaign in Gaza.
