Moscow walks away with billions as Trump's Russian oil waiver expires

His kids and the kushners might not have any other options.

Why he has immunity lol

Do you honestly think that anything will ever happen to anyone involved in this administration or those that helped it come to fruition? This is the USA. It’s the land of corporate profits over people. This country is no longer a democracy that represents the will of the people. It is a kleptocracy. The oligarchs are complicit in this administration, they bought and paid for it. They will be around after he’s gone, nothing is going to change.

I think there's a solid chance Trump and/or some of his family flee to Israel.

While it would have been the funniest thing imaginable, could you please keep your piece of shit president to yourself?

Trump is just a symptom. His entire administration and republicans will just repeat the cycle again even if Trump is gone.

Not true. That's his only goal. The goal of the rest of them is to erode confidence in the federal government and strip everything possible out to allow for full control by the private sector. It's why they haven't checked him on anything. It isn't fear, it is literally what he is there to do for them. IMHO of course.

$3 billion isn't enough? -.-

Pretty sure the main goal is to empower Russia and weaken the West. His personal bonus for doing so, is the wealth. 

He's actually doing Saudi Arabia's bidding, because they have funneled billions into his family. Saudi Arabia is just aligned with Russia in a lot of areas, particularly in wanting to drive up oil prices.

I think it's simpler than that. Trump just loves putin. 

Honestly I’m pretty sure these assholes are more than willing participants and don’t need anything “on them”. They’re clearly enjoying the destruction, racism, and violence of their greed.

As sensationalist as the title is, russia is the unambiguous w***** of this war. The US pulled a lot of resources from ukraine and damaged its ties to european allies. All while russia gets to sell their oil at a high price without having done anything really

Most countries in the EU have dramatically reduced or eliminated entirely their gas and oil purchases from Russia. If your source is the Russian propaganda talking point that "EU spent more money in oil/gas from Russia than in aid given to Ukraine" it's because when the war started there isn't a magic button to replace oil and gas instantly. It takes time to change infrastructure, let existing contracts expire, and create new supply lines. A majority of the money "paid to Russia" happened in the first couple years because it takes time. Since February of 2024 to today, EU has imported approximately 21.9 billion Euros worth of oil/gas from Russia. In that same timeframe, the EU has provided roughly 50 billion Euros worth of aid, more than double. The EU has also set a deadline for a full EU ban on all Russian gas imports by November of next year. They're committed to and currently working on a similar ban of all oil exports as well.

It's millions of ammo/ordinance or tens of thousands of drones or the pay for a hundred thousand soldiers. It's also the combined healthcare/education budget of like 3 small Oblasts. It's not nothing. Fortunately Ukraine was able to close the tap as much as possible by bombing their oil terminals.
