Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act

Here is a few paragraphs extracted from the US sanctions act from 2017. This was passed by Congress in 2017, and signed into US law by Trump. It is still US law, yet Congress are very quiet about this breach of their own laws.

SEC. 257. UKRANIAN ENERGY SECURITY.
(a) STATEMENT OF POLICY.—It is the policy of the United
States— 
(1) to support the Government of Ukraine in restoring
its sovereign and territorial integrity;
(2) to condemn and oppose all of the destabilizing efforts
by the Government of the Russian Federation in Ukraine in
violation of its obligations and international commitments;
(3) to never recognize the illegal annexation of Crimea
by the Government of the Russian Federation or the separation
of any portion of Ukrainian territory through the use of military
force;
(4) to deter the Government of the Russian Federation
from further destabilizing and invading Ukraine and other
independent countries in Central and Eastern Europe and the
Caucuses;

Here is a link to the full document.

  1. Good catch F1.
    It just goes to show that Krasnov’s signature is worth the same as that of putler – jack shit.
    Ukraine beware : Krasnov hates you. So does VanZkov. So does much of the regime of the WH; aka Kremlin West.

    • If Trump hated Ukraine, why did he sign this Bill into law? You should think before you post nonsense and look afflicted. Trump is laying out positions which make him look afflicted too. You both need professional help.
      Good for Sir Foccusser to post this important legislation which Dr. Gerdes reminded us of yesterday.
      I’ve written the Senate Chairman for the Foreign Relations cmte and the Senate Chairman of the Finance cmte this week. One of them already responded and said he was going to look into something and get back with me. If he says anything interesting, I will let everyone know.
      Yes, writing the letters is more effective than ranting with hate and repeating conspiracy theories………..

      • “If Trump hated Ukraine, why did he sign this Bill into law?”
        You tell us, Red. Why did the crook give the red carpet treatment to the filthy vampire, and why did he attack Zelensky in the Oval Office like a junkyard dog? And while you’re at it, tell everyone why the gangster stopped all aid to Ukraine if he doesn’t hate the country. Furthermore, tell us why he wants to hand a victory to the war criminal.

      • “why did he sign this Bill into law?”

        The answer is fairly obvious. He signed it for the same reason he signed the “Epstein Files Transparency Act,” despite wanting to keep the trump-epstein files hidden. The CAATS passed Congress by an overwhelming majority (House 419–3; Senate 98–2). He knew that if he vetoed it, Congress had the votes to overturn the veto, which would have made him look weak.

        Note that the bill was in response to Russian meddling in the election that put trumpkov in the White House, and existed in part to make it more difficult for trumpkov to unilaterally lift sanctions against Russia.

        On the day he signed it, he issued a signing statement saying he might choose to ignore parts of it.

    • If you mean the countering America’s adveraries post, Red made that one a featured post too. We have two featured posts.

      • OK. Only the “Kyiv of Mine” one shows up with an overlay saying “Featured”.

        Thanks for the explanation.

        • The other one is definitely a featured post. For some reason it doesn’t have the featured label showing.
