Senate votes to impose sanctions against Russia for election meddling

Good piece:

The way the United States government is treating Iran is an absolute disgrace. At a time when Iran has been, on balance, behaving with relative moderation and decency, America has responded with vile callousness and additional sanctions.

The worst, of course, comes from President Trump, who responded to a terrorist attack in Iran by blaming it on them for their support of terrorism. But Senate Democrats, who voted overwhelmingly to impose additional sanctions on Iran, mainly to hit Russia, are nearly as bad.

It's not surprising that belligerent, dimwitted warmongers like Bush or Trump mistake Iran for Germany circa 1942. But Senate Democrats are if anything more intellectually and morally debauched. I believe that with a bit of effort and good faith, Iran might be peeled off the Russian orbit, at least into relative neutrality — and at a minimum, it's worth trying.

Instead, Democrats are risking President Obama's finest diplomatic accomplishment to strike a tiny blow against a completely different country. I don't know what it will take for the party to gain a bit of good sense on foreign policy, but nearly two decades of constant failure of just this sort of omnidirectional belligerence apparently isn't enough.

America is treating Iran disgracefully

We never learn, no wonder America is failing as a super power at record speed.

Supposed hacking of voter rolls and the DNC server, and Podesta losing his phone leading to his emails being released is not meddling in an election and is not interference with an election.

These are bs claims and need to stop.

The entire Senate says you are wrong. After all, they had access to the classified information. You didn't. But feel free to say whatever fiction you want. It's a free country.

No they haven't, so you are wrong as usual.

Prove otherwise.

Don't worry, I already know you can't.

This extreme denial behavior is what you see only in deeply brainwashed cult members.

Yes, the U.S. behavior towards Iran is pretty gross considering that S.A., UAE, and Libya are far worse when it comes to embracing and supporting terrorists.

Said the one in actual denial.

He can't prove the assertion and you liked his post anyways. That is actually hilarious.
You liked his false posting, so you either agreed with it or thought it had merit. So how about this, you prove his assertion.

It is already known you can't, but give it a shot.

Interference in an election includes electioneering on behalf of or against a candidate. The Senate confirmed that is exactly what happened. Your weasel words to attempt to change the definition of interference is just that - weasel words.

No, it doesn't.
That is not an interference in the election.


Like I said, you couldn't prove it, and now you are deflecting with weasel words and trying to change the definition. Your reply is stupid.

Doesn't the President have to sign the proposal?

nope trump can veto it if he chooses too but then the senate can override the veto.
with a 97-2 vote a veto would be useless.

Good for the Senate. US sanctions on Russia should remain indefinitely until Moscow stops meddling in our elections, withdraws its military from eastern Ukraine, and returns Crimea to its rightful owner.

On the contrary, they should be gradually increased by all NATO/EU allies. Makes them more effective.
