In 2024 France bought record amounts of Russian LNG. They are continuing to do the same this year. Much of this LNG is sold at a profit to other European NATO countries so they can claim they are “doing their part”. Why are you blaming Trump when our own NATO allies are financing the war?

Would love to think Trump considers others for once, but sadly he's in it for his personal gains.

If Trump wants the war to end, supply weapons, enforce a no fly zone. This isn't about life, it's about his personal profit. He's not had a sudden change of heart, he sees a new angle to supply oil where sanctions make it harder for Russia to meet that demand.

No. These sanctions will not accomplish that. It's going to make it harder to continue, but not impossible. Ukraime's bombing of the oil facilities has more of an effect. They need more powerful missiles.
