Our Dear Leader met with Vlad the Putin in Helsinki and the media went bat crap crazy……speculation ran like wine in the street…..but let’s be honest….Trump has attempted to put all this criticism to bed (pun was not intended….but now that I wrote it…maybe it was)
To put the speculation about the the voter tampering on the back page of the newspaper……
The White House is crafting on an executive order that would give President Trump the authority to sanction foreigners who interfere in U.S. elections, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.
The news outlet obtained an eight-page draft of the order, which allows the president to impose sanctions on “10 of the 30 largest businesses” in a country whose government has interfered in the U.S. electoral process.
Those penalties would only be imposed mandatorily if foreigners are found to have meddled, the Post reported. Similar sanctions already have been implemented against Russians determined to have interfered in the 2016 election.
Then there was the news about the Russian poisoning in the UK…..Dear Leader will weigh in on this also……
Months after Britain alleged that the Russian government carried out nerve-agent attacks in Salisbury, the Trump Administration has announced a new round of sanctions against Russia, aimed to punish them for the incident.
The Novichuk poisoning incident was claimed by Britain’s government, but contested by Russia. There was never conclusive evidence to support the claims Russia was behind it. At the time, the US expelled a number of Russian diplomats, that too nominally over the poisonings.

The problem for me with this is story……the US has never answered the question of how it decided to accept Britain’s allegations without evidence. It’s also not clear why the US decided to wait five months after the expulsions to impose the sanctions. Still, sanctioning Russia happens so often the US doesn’t often need much excuse on timing or pretext.
The White House is trying to silence some of the criticism by these moves…..but now the question is….will it work? NOT!
Then there is another way of looking into sanctions…….
It’s embarrassing enough to have Donald Trump as president. But now American citizens have to endure the additional pain of the sanctions that other countries are imposing on the United States. Doesn’t the world realize that we’re suffering enough as it is? That seems so grossly unfair.
Oh, but wait: that’s how sanctions work.

The second ‘Novichok poisoning’ case has gone suspiciously quiet on the news here.
I doubt we will ever be told the truth.
Best wishes, Pete.
We heard very little about it…..and even less these days….chuq
Sanctions on Russia ? That nation ‘s history is founded upon a dynamic and a people that have suffered, are used to it , even expect it, endured courageously, stoically and even jested about their particular human condition as qualified by the vast library of Russian existentialist literature. Sanctions at best are pestering inconveniences for a nation that will exist and plod on in spite of waiting in line for everything, never having everything you need, trying to stay warm and finding solace in vodka.
That is it…the people suffer from sanctions the leaders will power on and on….with the hope the people will rise up and force a change….seldom works without other considerations….chuq
