While standing tall and appearing to be tough on Russia the reality is Ol Hairplugs is yelling "take that" while waving his hanky in Putins face.

Before y'all start whining "but but but Trump" please try to address the subject.


KEY POINTS
  • President Biden’s administration on Thursday announced a raft of new sanctions against Moscow over 2020 election interference and a huge cyberattack, among other transgressions.
  • “The latest round of U.S. sanctions was a mostly symbolic exercise,” Agathe Demarais, global forecasting director at The Economist Intelligence Unit, told CNBC on Friday.
  • Vladimir Tikhomirov, chief economist at Moscow-based BCS Global Markets, told CNBC on Friday that some investors were relieved by the removal of uncertainty and fairly modest sanctions, which reduced the overall level of Russia-related investment risks.

He didn't do it to punish the Russians, he did it to clarify the 'no collusion' lie.
"With one sentence in a 2,000-word press release, the Treasury Department perhaps did more to lay out the case for potential Trump-Russia collusion in the 2016 election than has happened before.
The Treasury statement confirmed that Konstantin Kilimnik, a Russian-linked intelligence operative, provided Russian intelligence with "with sensitive information on polling and campaign strategy." He got that inside information from Trump campaign officials.
While the sanctions issued Thursday were tied to Russia's 2020 election interference efforts -- which the US says Kilimnik played a role in -- the reference to his meddling in 2016 is perhaps the bigger revelation.
It has long been suspected but never explicitly stated by the US government that Kilimnik passed internal Trump campaign data from former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort to Russian intelligence services. The announcement Thursday establishes a simple and direct channel of communication from the upper echelon of the Trump campaign to the Russian agencies that were meddling to help Trump win."

Come on now, not fake news. Just a weakly sourced story based on weak intel. Maybe the CIA decided to drop that one out there.
