Trump Administration Won't Waive Sanctions for Oil Project Exxon Planned in Russia

President Donald Trump has rejected a bid by U.S. oil giant Exxon Mobil to resume a Black Sea oil venture with a sanctioned Russian firm close to the Kremlin, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Friday.

Nope, looks like trump and his future codefendants dare not lift sanctions on russia with us shining a bright light on these mole rats.

Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.

In biology, such behavior of cells is called "cancer".

Putin thinks ahead and even thinking ahead, I bet he never thought he would become a victim of his own success.

Trouble?

Doing something right does not equate to trouble.

Tillerson's connections at Exxon didn't carry enough weight?

OP link goes to:

urldefence.proofpoint.com

what is that?

Yeah, Russia got who they wanted. Yeah, they even got Exxon running the state department. Kind of overplayed their hand trying to get the sanctions lifted at this early stage with so much heat on them.

I was over at a skeptics and debunking website earlier today. There is a Russian troll there that goes by Wxxxxxx Wxxxx. He claims to be in Australia and has an Australian IP address. A lot of Russian scammers are running through Australian addresses for some reason. The scammers that claimed to have magic satellite imagery to locate MH370 were Russians operating out of Australia. There was a modern day dowsing scam run but the same group. Anyway, Wxxxxxx Wxxxx spent a great deal of time at Metabunk propagandizing the Russian position on the MH17 shoot down back when that was fresh in the news. He also flogged a bunch of anti-GMO/Monsanto horseshit. He disappeared from the skeptics/debunking site and went to Talk Freethought. At Talk Freethought Wxxxxxx Wxxxx spent all of July through November attacking Hillary/Obama and promoting Trump. He turned on a damn dime with the Syria strike. He is bashing the shit out of Trump on the Syria strike at Talk Freethought. So Metabunk started debunking a bullshit article about the Syria Attacks. Guess who showed up after a 4 month absence?
