In retaliation for Putin's annexing of Crimea...
Well, the population of Crima is happy with the reunification with Mother Russia. This region had a special autonomy within Ukraine, it was historically Russian territory. Khrushchev "sold" this peninsula to his Ukrainian Commie-Cronies, without asking the opinion of the people who were sold.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union the Soviet military bases in the Crimea became Russian military bases, but the peninsula was part of the New Ukraine with a special autonomy, they used the Russian language as an official language. After the Putsch in Kiev the Junta decided to eliminate the Russian language, and that was too much for the population of Crimea, they asked for reunification with Mother Russia, and Russia agreed to the this request.
... and invasion of Ukraine.
That was an idiotic statement.
There was no Russian invasion of the Ukraine, it is retarded to make such statements.
The Russian military was already stationed on the Crimean Peninsula, there was a special treaty between the Ukraine and Russia about the military bases on the Crimean Peninsula.
What to the region of New Russia, there was no Russian military involved in this separatist movements within the Ukraine.
If Russia invaded Ukraine, they would have already expelled the Junta from Kiev, but we know that this did not happen. The Junta in Kiev was killing their own citizens in New Russia, no Russian citizens were involved in this conflict, except the volunteers.
...NATO nations have imposed crippling sanctions on Russia.
These stupid sanctions were crippling the economy of EU countries, not of Russia. Russia became more self sufficient after these sanctions, that was a good boost for many branches of Russian economy.
Before the sanctions Russia bought a lot of things that are now manufactured or produced in Russia.
European factories had to close because of these sanctions.
President Obama has also imposed additional sanctions in response to Russian interference in our elections.
Obama is a buffoon and a warmonger.
First he sent the "****-the-EU-Nuland" to the Ukraine, they spent a lot of taxpayer's money to support the Putsch.
The elected President of Ukraine was replaced due to the American interference, and now the buffoon Obama ist talking about "Russian interference" because WikiLeaks leaked the truth about the DNC and Killary to American voters?
Are American voters not entitled to know the truth?
It is the duty of the MSM to inform American voters, but if the Media is corrupt, then this does not mean that providing the truth through anonymous alternative sources is "interference".
I am proposing that Trump maintain existing sanctions until such time as Russia begins to act like a responsible member of the international community
Wow!
You are proposing Trump to support the Establishment and the Swamp in Washington?
Trump promised to make America Great again, not to promote the crazy warmongering of globalists.
Confrontation with Russia will not be helpful in making America great again.
In fact, normal relations with Russia will be good for Europe and the USA.
Is it not insane on the one hand to be involved in conflicts on the other side of the Globe, but on the other hand not to be able to protect the own boarders from the Third World invasion?
