That's a really important question.

Financial sanctions are administer by the department of the treasury, and export sanctions are under the department of commerce, both of which are executive departments.

So yes.

Unfortunately Trump could completely undermine Europe by opening trade with Russia, financing them.

borrowing from foreign lands is blocked.

So, no... There isn't. There's no source of capital to back new rubles, so it would devalue the ruble and drive inflation which is already 20+%.

Yes you did imply that.

To "push someone towards supporting Ukraine" implies that they are not currently and have not been supporting them. You can't move towards a position you currently hold.

You could have said "I hope it strengthens their support" or "...pushes them to continue supporting...". I reacted because there's lots of people in the US thinking Europe has done nothing and it's all been the US, which is straight Trump/Putin disinformation.

...and Tesla is massively overgeared w.r.t. stock price relative to earnings. Companies normally have a valuation which is 5-40x their earnings. (NVDA 40x, AAPL 35x, GM 7x, Stellantis 6.5x)

Tesla is currently 138x, and they're down nearly a third this month. They were 200x at their last earnings call I think.

Tesla is a hypestock that will crash when the AI bubble bursts and self-driving dies as a concept.

as it's spelled: im gur.

"I'm gur"?

Tony... Is that you?

Europe - America is already there.

I do hope that Trump is the galvanizing force that pushes the people of the EU (and perhaps others) towards Ukraine support, as well as everything else Trump and the right hate

Why do you think that the EU and others haven't been supporting Ukraine? They have.

Thoughts and prayers?

How about organising to recall your Republican Congress members for failing to perform their constitutional duty?

European here. Sorry America, but you're going to have to step up and remove your corrupt leaders I think. And I'll be happy when you do.

I'm getting a bit pissed off with this type of message.

1. We already have been leading. Funds and weapons have been relatively free flowing from European nations. Getting anything out of the US has been like pulling teeth even under Biden.
2. We know a shit ton of burden has fallen on us because a nation we considered a friend has turned traitor. You're not telling us anything new.
3. As a US citizen you can't wash your hands of the fact that your leadership is corrupt. "Oh, sorry!". They're your collective responsibility. You all put them there. Only you can replace them. Get off your arse and organise.

Were you in the Oval Office yesterday?

Even when you're being extorted you have a reason to pay the money. "Pay or people die", but all Trump is saying is "Pay".
