Conclusion
It is important to mark the third anniversary of the escalation of Russian aggression towards Ukraine. But given the current attempts by President Trump to end the war (potentially without proper consultation with the Zelensky government or its European allies), it would be foolhardy to predict that further sanctions would be necessary or sufficient to bring Russia to the negotiating table with Ukraine.

My post was more in response to the troll posts here which applauded Trump so much for going after Russia, then on reading he really hadn't yet acted on any penalty on India fuel export to Russia i thought, the MAGA Trump applause on that was misguided. As most all of the applause for Trump is.
Interesting. Would it be a conspiracy if one says they don't believe a lot of the numbers they've listed until verified by 3rd parties we can hopefully trust?
