Traitor Trump Betrays Ukraine And America, Again

 

In a move that will delight and motivate his manipulator Vladimir Putin, the vindictive and mentally ill Malignant Fascist signed an order that waives several sanctions placed on Russia under the Graham law he just signed in September.  His gift to Putin will mean a longer and bloodier war that Putin believes he can now win with his comrade's support. From the BBC:

"Donald Trump has blocked numerous sanctions on Russia two days before they were due to take effect, as a row with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky deepens.

The sanctions were passed by the US Congress and signed into law by Trump in September.

But the US president issued an executive order on Friday night saying that suspending some was in the US 'national interest', prompting a backlash from US lawmakers. Zelensky said it was unfortunate the US has decided to 'completely disregard' the sanctions.

Relations between Washington and Kyiv frayed after the US struck a controversial deal to import Russian diesel. Ukraine then accused the Trump administration of withdrawing key military support. [snip]

The new US sanctions law took aim at Russia's economy, giving Trump broad powers to levy tariffs of up to 100% on imports from the top five purchasers of Russian oil and gas – most significantly China and India.

It also included sanctions against senior Russian figures, including Putin, as well as Russian financial institutions and Moscow's so-called "shadow fleet" of vessels used to circumvent existing embargoes.

Many of these provisions have now been waived by Trump.

Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev called the waiver 'an important and truly historic moment'". (our emphasis)

Of course, the Russians love the fact that their decades-long grooming of the MF is paying off just when Ukraine has seized the initiative with its strikes on Russian refineries and data farms.  The "important and truly historic moment" the Russian envoy refers to is a dark one for the United States and its now forfeited leadership of the free world by siding with the expansionist Russian crime state.

QOTD -- Traitor Trump

 

"... I try not to be hyperbolic, that is, to undermine my assertions with language that is overly exaggerated or bombastic.

But that caution needs to end now. Because Donald Trump is a traitor.

And he’s not simply a traitor in the loose sense of someone who commits an act of betrayal that makes clear they are not only not on your side but actively working to undermine your side. ('You traitor,' said the kid to his best friend after he started hanging out with the class bully.) Donald Trump is a traitor in the very particular sense laid out in the U.S. Constitution written and agreed to in 1787.

This can be found in the clause pertaining to treason, Article III, Section 3, as follows: 'Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.'”... -- writer Steven Bechloss, who goes on to demonstrate why "Donald Trump Is A Traitor," in his "America, America" Substack.  The treasonous deal to sell out our erstwhile ally Ukraine to the despotic Russian war criminal Putin was the precipitating event Bechloss cites in making his case (we said he was a traitor years and years ago because of his prior water-carrying for Putin that ran diametrically opposite to America's national interests, but macht nichts).  Good read and oh so true.
