Why did you only pick the ones that fit into your narrative?
You didn't mention where he praised Russia for helping them in the past.

So, you couldn't see the poor attempt at diplomacy by Trump.
He is basically saying, I don't hate you but I can hurt you badly if you fail
to accede to my demands.

He won’t try shiit with his master Putin

He threatened to do what Biden had already done: impose sanctions on Russia.

Trump just made the post to put on airs to deceive gullible people.

Bros russia sells gas to belgium, Netherlands, France,spain,portugal, turkey .These are d ones i hav personally been involved in n its not a secret.What u tink is knowledge is sheer ignorance

Russia DOES NOT sell directly to Europe.

Oga Europe does not need a Nigerian to purchase gas from Russia. They have the infrastructure and means. Stop fooling.

Russia had only one pipeline go through Ukraine to Hungary. Now it's shut down by Ukraine.

Europe buys Russian LNG gas from Russia, China, India and Turkey. And all buyers are required to open Rubles account and pay in Rubles.

What's so hard to understand?? Russia can no longer use the dollars due to sanctions. How else are they supposed to sell gas if not with Rubles??

USA can target those that Russia does business with. And that's going to hurt... even China's economy will suffer if America decides to play rough ball with them. Or is it South Africa that can withstand Trump? None of the BRICS nations can challenge the USA.

You're overrating the Americans
Trump is just playing to the gallery for the moment
He'll soon throw Ukraine and Zelensky under the bus

Ironfaceman:
Like which one. There are over 50 sanctions on Russia. Russia too is not alone its allies, China Iran, India, North Korea, Indonesia, they all lend support. So it pass sanction if you ask me.

You count North Korea as an ally? Anyway they provided cannon fodder Nd very dated soviet era weapons and ammunition that can sometimes lack even secondary school student level of quality control.

Irans supplies shahed but impact has been reduced since.

India gets cheap crude and and helps keep Russia afloat. Whatever else Russia benefits is definitely classified.

China hasn't given much material militarily to at least to the level to which you would expect from a country of that economic size. I know China is do some stuff underground, like intelligence, drone part, chips.

Now to sanctions that can still be applied:

1. Gazprom Neft and Surgutneftegas were sanctioned for the first time this January. They represent the 3rd and 4th largest oil producers in Russia. Tis is the first time sanctions have been applied on major oils produccers. Imagine sanctions on 1st and 2nd.

2. Sanctions can still be applied on more ships in the shadow fleet. Biden recently sanctioned over 180, but Russia has hundreds of them. That's give Trumps more ships to go after.

3. Biden actually placed a complete bam of oils servicing. With it, long term you could in the soup without the technology. You production capability will drop in the long term.

4. Their LNG was sanctioned for the first time by Biden this January. One functional LNG. More LNG facilities can be sanctioned too by Trump.

There's are other areas still left standing.

Not saying Russia will collapse, it will squeeze the regime harder for sure.

Russia is the most sanctioned nation on earth.

With almost 30,000 sanctions on it. And yet still growing and having budget surpluses back to back to back.

What would a couple more sanctions do that 30,000 sanctions couldn't do? Lmaooo.

Russia doesn’t even use the US dollars anymore, to begin with. So what exactly will Trump be sanctioning??

Russia sells it's oil, gas, uranium, steel in Rubles & Gold.

Trump's strategy to pressure Russia is straightforward - sanctioning its top trade partners if they continue doing business with Russia. This means warning countries like India and China that if they buy Russian oil, the US will sever trade ties with them. Trump's administration has already shown a willingness to use secondary sanctions to force countries to choose between doing business with the US or Russia.

In his first term, Trump imposed sanctions on Chinese persons and entities to counter China's ties with other US adversaries, like Iran and North Korea. His administration added 216 Chinese persons to the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN) List and 259 Chinese persons to the Entity List.

If Trump decides to expand sanctions on Russia, he'll likely target Russia's energy sector, financial institutions, and defense industry. He'll also use secondary sanctions to pressure other countries to stop doing business with Russia. Trump's goal is to make it difficult for Russia to find new trade partners, thereby weakening its economy and forcing it to change its behavior.

Xisnin:
So, if you are part of the negotiation team, you think any agreement will stop Putin from starting another
war after 5 to 10 years of rebuilding the army?

The only guarantee of no invasion are either Trump go to war with Putin inside Ukraine, Ukraine acquires nukes,
or Ukraine join NATO or maybe have the US setup a military base.

No paper is worth any agreement that has Putin's signature.

Trump has two problems with Russia.
The Ukraine war and the BRICS and he can't avoid them.

SATAN GET BEHIND ME.

Lol what balls in this case? Biden placed even greater sanctions and tariffs on Putin, the EU did same but they all backfired. Infact the EU are the ones running back shamelessly from the back door to Russia begging for gas to fuel their nations. Putin isn't moved by such dumb moves. Like a poster earlier mentioned, negotiations would be a better approach to this

Look at the current geopolitical dynamics. Nigeria is an import driven economy. Think of the ripple effects of Trump’s trade tariffs on an import dependent country like Nigeria.

Won’t really be bothered if we have sufficient local production capacity.

Russia major export is oil and china is it biggest market. China total oil import dropped by 2% last year because of its push to renewable.
Secondly with trump trying to flood the world with cheap oil in the next 3-4 months . Expect oil prices to tank forward.

Trump plan to go after Russia shadow fleet.and also folks buying oil from china and india
Trump can as well threatened Putin with Ukraine joining NATO as long as Ukraine can pay or sacrifice something good to America.
Trump might be all about America first, but he still recognize the role of America in global happenings
