Trump administration refuses to implement the Russia sanctions Congress approved

President Donald J. Trump (R-Moscow)

If Congress was even remotely doing its duty, this would be (another) offense Donald Trump (R-Moscow) should be impeached for. That he's still in office just highlights how broken our whole system is (not only Kim Jon Trump's so-called Presidency).

*Smashing keyboard in frustration* "Why?!? Why won't he escalate tensions with a nuclear superpower!!!"

Don't worry! It's just that sanctions were too reasonable, measured, and sane for Kim Jong Trump. So instead, he's going to play blindfolded nuclear chicken roulette in Syria. It's much more aggressively stupid Trumpier.

A take on this critical of Trump, but adding some thoughts I had not researched. Consider the source, of course.

It's a good article, though they present "the list" in a positive light for Trump's administration when broader consensus seems to be that it's a joke created by interns from Forbes articles. I'm also wondering about their uncritical acceptance of the State depts' report that Russian arms sales are down by billions. I know the Russians have recently concluded a number of high profile sales with traditional US allies like Turkey and Saudi Arabia. Are they overstating the impact of other items listed? I don't know.

In any case, the piece's spin seems to be at best that Trump's administration is being tough on Russia behind their boss' back.
