This is fine and well, but how many times has the president almost immediately contradicted Spicer now? I think it’s clear at this point that Spicer just says whatever will get him to the next question, whether he can speak for the administration or not. While I hope this is the White House’s position - or that they’ve at least developed some sort of serious policy re: Russia and Ukraine - I’m skeptical.

Feeling any buyer’s remorse, Vlad?

Let’s see what the House does with the Sanctions bill passed by the Senate last week. Then see if Trump signs it. Until then - whatever the “White House” says is just talk … not policy.

“Sean Spicer on Tuesday said the United States will continue to sanction Russia until it stops backing separatists in eastern Ukraine.”

Maybe the United States could continue to sanction Russia until it stops hacking our elections?

Maybe the White House could actually acknowledge that Russia did hack our election?

Maybe a unicorn farting rainbows could fly out a monkey’s butt amid a flock of winged pigs?

Not really. Russia gets to keep Crimea for free, that’s a pretty good deal. To be fair Crimea has always been Russian (at least since they submitted the Tatars) , in Soviet times for administrative purposes it was bundled with Ukraine, because it really didn’t matter, it was the same country.

Eastern Ukraine it’s more complicated, because the cities the majority are either ethnic Russians or russified Ukrainians, and the country side is more Ukrainian speaking.

All excellent points, but I still don’t think Putin was expecting to get such a low return on his Donnie investment…

On a related note, besides having Donnie as his puppet, Putin has another significant weapon in bullying Europe.

Russia’s pipeline power

Washington is focused on Russia’s political interference—but Moscow’s campaign against the U.S. extends beyond the ballot box.

Why is the White House pretending to go through these options?

Congress stripped him o fhb empower to end sanctions.

So why the posturing?

Oh yeah, to have something to point to as a counter-narrative to being Putin’s bitch. Sort of like your playing war in Syria is.

Putin was heard to mutter in response, “Trump can kiss those goddamn Moscow building contracts good-bye. Fucker.”
