I take it you didn't bother to listen to the interview because if you had you'd have to admit that Trump was being truthful.
See posts 24 and 25 that prove Trump's foreign policy toward Russia is effectively strong and intact.

If you have anything intelligent to refute posts 24 and 25, bring it.

"Congress supported and adopted many of the new Russia sanctions, and it deserves credit for those moves. This does not, however, negate the president’s own policy choices. Trump was not required to provide lethal military aid to Ukraine. He did not have to expand the Magnitsky list and could have made use of national security waivers to avoid adding new names. His Justice Department did not have to force RT to register as a foreign agent or cease its operations in the United States. He could have easily stayed quiet on Moscow’s poisoning of ex-spy Sergei Skripal in Britain rather than crack down on Russia’s diplomatic presence in the United States."


"The administration has also imposed sanctions on dozens of Russian oligarchs and government officials.

He shuttered two Russian consulates, multiple diplomatic annexes, and expelled 60 diplomats.

Trump closed consulates in Seattle and San Francisco and the expulsion of dozens of diplomats are unprecedented and important punitive measures.

Sanctioned Russian oligarchs and officials. This month, Trump sanctioned nearly 40 oligarchs, the businesses they own or control, and numerous Russian officials. Significantly, the administration justified its latest sanctions in uniquely broad terms, suggesting that future sanctions need not be tied to specific Russian actions.

Expanded the Magnitsky sanctions list. Trump could have easily refused to expand the Magnitsky sanctions, a list of corrupt Russian officials and human rights violators. Instead, he added names, including Chechen dictator and close Putin associate Ramzan Kadyrov and the son of Russian Prosecutor General Yury Chaika.

Targeted Russia with sanctions over North Korea, Iran, and Ukraine. The White House sanctioned additional Russian companies and individuals in connection with Moscow’s continued occupation of Crimea and eastern Ukraine. Those targeted included heavy hitters such as Russian Deputy Energy Minister Andrey Cherezov. The administration has also gone after entities known to aid the North Korean and Iranian ballistic missile and nuclear programs. "

Weak sanctions he has agreed and the expelling of 60 diplomats was him saying he is saving money, not punishing Russian. HE won't enact the big sanctions that congress levied against Russia AND Trump refused to even acknowledged that Russia tampered with our election. Go play your idiotc Trix with some dumb Trump supporter. Again Trump supporters are traitors to the US and the lowest scumbags in the US. Your Trix are worthless.

Stop with the personal insults.
Trump's strong foreign policy, while enforcing mega sanctions on Russia, ousting foreign diplomats, sanctioning Putin's rich buddies, is a matter of record.
All your resisting does not change the facts.

The red line that congress wouldn't let him cross, they voted against action. And Trump's red line with NK was hilarious, there were SEVERAL that he made and NK crossed. What did Trump do about it? Agree to s a summit, told the world that Kim was a good guy and to trust him and rewarding him by kissing his ass. Trump supporting traitors are the lowest scumbags the US has.

Deal in facts, NK is not over yet. You bet your life Hillary would win but you lost. You have no credibility to say anything about NK. In fact what did your guy Obama do?????? That's right he did not do a damn thing, he let NK build all the nukes they wanted. Your an Obama follower and he said "we can live with a nuclear NK" he was the weakest president ever and the most do nothing president. Your guy does not have one thing to hang in his billion dollar shrine to himself. Well I should not say that, he has a boatload of "failure" to hang on the walls of his shrine.

You wanted to hitch your cart to a foreign policy traitor like Trump, be my guest. You have ZERO credibility. Your boy ****ed a whore unprotected while cheating on his wife. That's your morals buddy. Trump supporters are traitors to the US.

You are the one who supports the guy who says the free media is the enemy of the people and wants the US to treat him like the NK people treat their leader. You are a fascist supporter. You don't have ANY patriotism and instead you put politician above country. Trump supporters are traitors to the US.

Is there something in the liberal DNA that creates the belief that rhetoric trumps results?? For 8 years we listened to lie after lie none of which seemed to matter but now all of a sudden rhetoric is somehow important again. If you ever hired someone do you do hire them based upon what they tell you or what they have accomplished??

snippet of the last three summary paragraphs at the end of the article...

Lavrov is right that Congress supported and adopted many of the new Russia sanctions, and it deserves credit for those moves. This does not, however, negate the president’s own policy choices.

1. Trump was not required to provide lethal military aid to Ukraine.

2. He did not have to expand the Magnitsky list and could have made use of national security waivers to avoid adding new names.

3. His Justice Department did not have to force RT to register as a foreign agent or cease its operations in the United States.

4. He could have easily stayed quiet on Moscow’s poisoning of ex-spy Sergei Skripal in Britain rather than crack down on Russia’s diplomatic presence in the United States.

After all this, if Lavrov still believes that Trump is eager to pursue some kind of detente with Russia, his denial borders on delusion. Trump’s Russia policy is his own. Either Lavrov is playing to a domestic audience and refusing to admit the Kremlin’s mistaken faith in Trump or getting played.

Trump’s policy toward the Kremlin should be evaluated on its merits. If you extract partisan politics and strip away justifiable distaste for his general conduct, what remains is arguably the most effective Russia policy since the end of the Cold War.

That's the point that you cannot understand the President can't do a lot without Congress. I get it, when will you? He ignored nothing, the sanctions are still in place
 
Praxas said:
If he never enacts them, they aren't sanctioned. Now learn your basic civics courses or get out. Got it?

I Have learned civics, the Russian sanctions remain in place, Congress makes that call
