Donald Trump is surrendering to Russia.

He's a venal coward. I really don't think we've ever had one of those as president before.

Why doesn't Canada just do it? Why does it need the US to do so?

Biden didn't care, why should Trump?

Why does Trump bend over for Putin at every turn?

Hopefully Trump will die of natural or unnatural causes before this goes too much further.

Hm G7 wants to

European countries are discussing plans that will let them carry out seizures of Moscow's oil-exporting tankers in the Baltic Sea.
The proposals include using international law to allow them to take control of vessels on environmental or piracy grounds.

take control of vessels on environmental grounds.
