Why would they? They’re already have a strong and active trade with Turkiye to get around any economic sanctions by the West.
Right, I find it incredible that the west still thinks they can bluff Russia into stopping the war. Like it’s been three years, it’s not like they haven’t tried everything they can think of at this point. Does anybody seriously think that another round of sanctions or weapons supplies is going to move the needle here. Also, the whole threat of secondary sanctions is deeply unserious. Trump already tried putting high tariffs on China, and had to walk that back immediately. Everybody knows that the US can’t follow through on any of the threats.
That’s because of the contradiction of the capitalism won’t let you kill the trade with your “enemy”.
That’s part of it, but I think the other aspect is that there’s simply no alternative to Russia for Europe’s energy supply.
Remember a few months ago when Drumpf was totally going to ally with his fellow authoritarian Putler to rule the world? Western media is unserious.
Now that it looks that Trump is likely going to follow in Biden’s footsteps, he’s finally becoming presidential in the eyes of western media.
Trump’s interview with the BBC on this is hilarious. He sounds like a little brother who got sent home instead of being allowed to play baseball with the big kids.
you can really tell his ego is bruised
