New sanctions against Russia.

[Sithara007]

I would not believe anything western media says about this. Try al jazeera on Russia

Why should you believe the Al Jazeera? After all it is owned by the Qatari government, which is a part of the GCC alliance. Neither the Arabs, nor the Americans are very fond of Russia. For both the parties, Russia is a common enemy.

Al Jazeera is better, because the Western mainstream news channels (BBC News, CNN, CNBC, MSNBC.etc) are always biased and churn out fake news against Russia. The others such as Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya are far better.

How are they better? Probably you are using information from the Kremlin. Putin never liked independent journalism. I still remember how he destroyed the team of NTV. Someone doubt their training? But Russian is not protected, then freedom of speech and are now a part of this propaganda.

This week the U.S. Senate is expected to vote for sanctions against Russia because of the Kremlin's interference in the presidential elections of 2016. I wonder why no one cites specific evidence, but sanctions are imposed.

There is nothing new anymore about the issue of russia and US even if trump stated that he would like putin to be his bestfriend(which is obviously a sarcastic statement)

I think he should state Putin is his best friend. Would make for some great entertainment and I could bust out the popcorn!!!

But yes, if there is evidence let us see it. If there isn't any evidence we need to also know. I am tired of these games they all play.

The media is well organized FUD machine. see one of my past posts I made years ago talking about how they all collude together to write the same stories.

This is back when they slammed bitcoin all the time. >> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=728166.0

Sanctions against Russia is a little effective method. Each of us knows how to circumvent the protection if the website is unavailable to access from our country. Similarly, Russian bypass sanctions through other countries.

I didn't said that the Russian channels such as Russia Today (RT) are any better. I was just saying that nowadays it has become increasingly difficult to get unbiased news from any of the mainstream channels.

Yeah mainly because these mainstream channels are manipulated by big companies that would benefit from whatever news they're coming up with. It's hard to trust mainstream media nowadays becauae of this. And putin i think has no time for such biased journalism.

Don't expect relationship between the two countries to warm up anytime soon. They just have so many conflicting interests, especially with their foreign policies.

Yeah, people thought just because a new administration was trying to warm up relations with Russia it doesn't really mean in the least that they're going to be able to get those relations back on track without an issue. It's going to take a lot of time, with all the current news with Russia-Trump and other things these countries really are going to have a tough time getting back to PRE-COLDWAR relations

I didn't see anything about new sanctions at all, but I wouldn't doubt something like this coming out of the Senate.

RIP relations with Russia.

Restrictions on financing of Russian banks and oil and gas companies on the basis of the new US law on sanctions will come into force on November 28. This is reported on the website of the US Treasury.

The law passed by Congress and signed by President Donald Trump, reduces the maximum term for financing Russian banks under sanctions to 14 days, and oil and gas companies - up to 60 days.

In fact, sanctions are worse only for ordinary people who live in the country. Those who are in power will not feel any changes, but ordinary people do! From these political games it only gets worse ...

What would you think if Russia (and all the other countries in which elections the USA have interfered) had everytime applied sanctions against the USA?

Right now these sanctions are affecting the common people of both sides. The Russians are forced to buy food items at inflated prices, and they have seen their welfare payments slashed (although the situation is getting better now). The EU farmers on the other hand are in the brink of bankruptcy, after they lost one of their major export markets.
