    Yes but not without facing blacklash from congress and the public. Not the ideal way to start off a presidency--pissing off the people who you need to implement your policies.

    I'm all for using sanctions against Russia but you have to be incredibly gulible to believe it will deter them from doing similar operations in the future.

    Maybe the sanctions are working and Russia is increasingly retaliating in order to have them removed.

    Sanctions can go a long way. The thing about sanctions is they tend to hit the common people harder than the very wealthy or elites. This can create tension in a country and put the government in an awkward position where they can stop the sanctions but they have to give something up. Sanctions are what brought Iran to the negotiating table for the Iran Nuclear Deal.

    This doesn't apply to Russia. Putin is too adamant to stop his actions against The West.

    He increases spendings on the army even though people's standard of living is getting worse every year.

    Sanctions have officially been imposed:

    This is most definitely the U.S. getting a taste of their own medicine but what do you expect? For them not to react?

    Obama is full of s---.

    They have done nothing but make speculations. There is no direct evidence of the Russian Government's involvement. People are simply trying to use "Russia" against trump because he isn't hostile to them. And we all know how anti-russia the mainstream in american politics is.

    Trump will repeal them, hopefully he will make obama look like an a------ in the progress.

    How could something not at all related to Barcelona or football make you ashamed of being a barca fan? The fact that you could even say that means you aren't a real fan.

    Because you have a difference in opinion with some stranger, it means you feel ashamed of Barcelona? Barcelona is bigger than your petty internet fights you pretentious f---.


    Say's the guy who thinks his opinion on politics is somehow reflective of his footballing preferences. Stop being a c---- and disagree with people the intelligent way.
