"The Kremlin is not impressed by United States President Donald Trumpâs threat
to impose new sanctions against Russia if it does not agree to strike a peace deal with Ukraine.
"We do not see any particular new elements here," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov
told Russian media Thursday. Peskov added that Trump âliked sanctionsâ and used them
often during his first presidential term.
âRussia is ready for an equal and careful dialogue with the United States, which we had
during Trump's first term," Peskov said, according to Russian independent media outlet
Meduza. "We are waiting for signals that have not yet been received."

Much like The Donna's opening gambit to cancel the FreemTeamTrade,
he opens BIIIG and if the competition folds, he WIIINS.
But I gotta wonder if we need the Auto-Pact AT ALL: the
US hasn't built a USeful automobile in a Looong time,
an' certainly *nothing* designed for Canada's climate(s).
Mostly they just build for Southern California and to
hell with the rest of 'merica, Canada included.
So Fuckem' if they canna' take a joke ...
I be thinkin' the Weirld Price of Aluminum needs to *DRop_
an' we need a Titanium smelter in Edmonton. Recycling the
Copper seems like a good plan too.
And since we DO need to up de Fence on the 49th I figure
investing in some chain-link plants is on the table.
Gonna have to more winter vegies from Mexico/Guatemala/Nicaragua/.../Peru too!
