This is how they take out Eastern Europe who refuses to rush to their own demise by bringing in Africans/Mid East "refugees"

I don't understand what you mean.

please clarify.

They can't. Countries that are actively at war aren't allowed to join NATO.

I believe diplomacy and negotiations have been on going since 2014.

Western Europe is speeding their demise by importing dissimilar populations, Eastern Europe is resisting that. A large war would destroy Eastern Europe and keep the EU together and Western Europe leading despite their poor decisions.

"Sanctions are a key instrument of diplomacy, used by states and international organizations to express disapproval, pressure actors to change behavior, and uphold international norms without resorting to military force.
They serve as a non-military means of coercion, ranging from diplomatic measures like expelling diplomats or closing embassies to economic restrictions such as trade bans and asset freezes."

FYI

I don't know what your media is telling you, but the best thing Trump could do would be to remove this corrupt regime in Ukraine.
If Ukraine had 8 Million ethnic US-Americans (like it had ethnic Russians), what would you do if they were attact by these rassist folks? You would stand by them, as Putin does with the Russians.
The Galicians you are supporting with your money and weapons used to fight at Hitler's side und killed thousands of Jews and Polish and are still worshipping Nazi collaborator Stephan Bandera.

Always good to see a view from another angle.
Thanks for posting Manfred

why are we still buying items from Russia?

Because the U.S. needs the stuff. It is only 3 billion worth of trade. Not going to hurt Russia much by not buying 3 billion worth of products.

So why do we get so up set when other countries buy from Russia dont they do it for the same reason we do?

The U.S. is just trying to put the squeeze on Russia. We have little economic squeeze on Russia since we have very little trade with them.

Trump is trying to get the european countries to boycott Russia, apply economic pressure, and get more skin in the game. ( They won't)

Europe wants us to fight Russia for them, kill our soldiers, and hopefully pay the bill as well.

It's okay to take out Russia as long as it's our choice, but not Europe's.

Europe has more skin in the game than the U.S. They have been switching to high priced LNG. All this affects them way more than the U.S. Other than Texas making bank selling Europe LNG.

We've crashed our agriculture exports to China whos invested a pile into other BRICS countries (Brazil) in response to the U.S trade wars over Ukraine. There's currently talk about a "once in a generation" farm crisis.

Thank you Trump for all your tariffs.

The U.S became an unreliable source of grain and meat when tariffs started in 2018 in regards to Russian/Ukrainian war. Once that ball was in motion the U.S had little ability to stop it.

they will be ok

As it stands, with Zelinski in control, the conflict is not much different than what exists in many American inner cities. Not much more than a gang war without a "good guy ".
Putin is annoyed that Gorbachev gave away the empire before he got the chance to become emperor (premier).
It is often said that Russia lost 20 million lives in WW2, but that was actually USSR and many of those people were from places that are no longer controlled by Moscow.

No more money to Ukkraine!
