Ukraine’s European allies say now is not the time for lifting sanctions on Russia, in a clear message to the Trump administration as Moscow pushes Washington for concessions ahead of signing a US brokered deal on ending the fighting in the Black Sea.

The leaders of the United Kingdom, France and Germany all affirmed at a summit on Thursday that Europe will not lift sanctions on Russia – a strong and seemingly coordinated nod to the Trump administration, which has said it is still evaluating the Kremlin’s demands.

They spoke after a meeting of the so-called “coalition of the willing” in Paris which discussed how to bolster support for Kyiv and what role they might play if a peace deal is struck with Russia.

Comment:
The voice of these allies wasn't heard in the past 4 years. The sanctions they are forced to enact on Russia caused 20% inflation and the oil gas prices doubled and quadrable.

The G 7 Leaders who didn't want to stop the war all lost to the challengers and Macron party's popularity in France was reduced.

Question comes up frequently as the Democrats complains about food prices:

Where was Senator Schumer during the four years of Biden's 10 % inflation and shortage of food caused by the severe sanctions on Russia and the rest of the world which led to higher gasoline prices, food prices and worldwide shortages of food and inflation. 

 Just a thought.

Game over..

 

Bill Maher about the Democratic Party:

"I mean, this looks like game over. And the reason why people are voting with their feet is a lot of what your book is about: taxes and regulation," Maher said. "I've certainly been screaming about it forever. 

I did three years with a sign here that said, 'How long is it gonna take me to get my solar hooked up?' Three years. Talking about it on television in this state, you couldn't do 

We're taxed more than any other state. People are leaving these kind of states for places where they [don't] feel the heavy breath of government on them…. 

It's not that hard for Democrats to understand this, but they don't. They seem to be incapable of doing anything about it.

Plan..

 

No Logic .

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has acknowledged his military is in a difficult position in Kursk and that he expects continued attacks from Russia as it attempts to push the remaining Ukrainian forces out of the region.

Russia's retaking of the Kursk region removes a potential bargaining chip for Ukraine just as U.S. President Donald Trump undertakes talks to end the war with Russia, which holds around a fifth of Ukraine's national lands.

Ukraine's retreat from the Kursk city of Sudzha, confirmed by Kyiv on March 16, prompted questions and deepened the public divide in Ukraine on the benefits of the incursion.   Just a thought.

Fraud..

Last year, the U.S. government made at least $162 billion in improper payments, according to a nonpartisan government watchdog. Kristin Kociolek of the Government Accountability Office also told a House oversight subcommittee that the government was defrauded of $233 billion to $521 billion per year between 2018 and 2022.

Social welfare programs and pandemic emergency programs have proven especially prone to errors and abuses. Medicare , the health insurance program for senior citizens, racked up $54.3 billion in improper payments last year. Medicaid, the healthcare program for low-income people, improperly dispensed $31.1 billion. 

The earned income tax credit , which gives an income tax cut, accounted for another $15.9 billion, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or food stamps, cost $8.7 billion.   

just a thought.

“Household and business inflation expectations have reached very high levels, and they could rise further if the Russian invasion of Ukraine causes energy prices to spike or disrupts supply chains,” wrote Goldman Sachs in a note Monday warning of higher and more persistent inflation than previously forecast.

On that knowledge, the Biden administration Placed restrictions and sanctions on the Russian energy of oil and Natural gas, in addition of cancelling the Nord Stream 2, a new pipeline ready to transfer natural gas from Russia to Europe for reduced prices.

The price of a gallon of diesel hit $4 a gallon for the first time in nearly eight years over the weekend. Although few Americans drive diesel-powered cars, most large trucks use it. And just about all goods sold in the United States are moved by truck at some point.

The trucking industry itself has been facing challenges for years, mostly due to a shortage of drivers. The higher fuel costs will be passed on by trucking companies in the form of fuel surcharges. So all businesses will have to pay higher transportation costs. With already high inflation, they are likely to pass along those costs to consumers.
