E.U.’s imports for Russian fossil fuels in 2024 were about $23 billion, which was higher than the over $19 billion in financial aid it gave to Ukraine

That one is going in the folder. Lmfao.

Honest question: is there a "tankiepedia" of sorts where you can read solely non nato perspectives so to speak?

Lemmygrad runs ProleWiki, which is basically what you're asking for.

Great. Terrific. Full speed ahead. Of course, the United States already has a lot of Russian sanctions — the U.S. and its allies have frozen about $280 billion in Russian assets held overseas, around $5 billion in U.S. banks; barred several Russian banks from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, which helps to process international financial payments; tried to seize the U.S. assets of sanctioned Russian individuals; prohibited the import of Russian crude oil, liquefied natural gas and coal; and limited U.S. investments in many Russian energy companies.

I find this fascinating mostly because any other country in the world would just accept that they simply could not impose their will on the country in question, but in typical American fashion, the US will shit itself in outrage at the suggestion of the fact.

Yep, it's Lindsay Graham again, the guy pioneering the shitty depths of neoconservatism.

Graham’s bill has more than 80 co-sponsors — about four-fifths of the Senate

lol what the fuck?
