Where's the loophole?

What a betrayal! Putin is the one who got him elected!

And Putin allowed him to do this? Or has Trump just become so senile, he even forgets his owners' orders?

Russia, Iran, Cuba have operated under sanctions regimes for decades. Alternative methods now exist for banking and transfers. This may cause a bit of pain but for the most part it is an empty gesture.

Guess we'll be seeing at least some of the unredacted Epstein files soon.

Looks like Trump has become so senile now, he forgot his owners' orders. Putin will not be amused.

Now that it's law, he'll obey it just as he does every other law.

Kind of surprising he would actually do anything negative against Russia, so I figured it has to be some kind of bullshit ploy. I didn’t read this article because I didn’t want to sign up, but in this guardian article, it is explained that this bill also gives him the power to levy tariffs against (his stupidest fucking favorite thing).

But it also gives Trump wide leeway over its implementation, including which countries could face tariffs, and which tariff rates could be imposed. It also gives the president sweeping discretion over whether sanctions provisions can be waived against certain countries.

Controversially, it allows Trump to impose tariffs of up to 100% on buyers of Russian energy, including China, and on other countries that help Moscow to evade sanctions.

Ok. So he’s going to accuse China and European allies of breaking the sanctions, so he can spat with them and harm everyone further. It’s still probably against the law in reality.
