Financial sanctions are primarily administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), while export controls are primarily administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)

It is also unbelievable that the hundreds of thousands of dead in a war built on a lie in Iraq pales in comparison to the millions around the world that will die because of Trump's cuts to USAID alone

Trump can kill off millions without even starting a war on false pretenses

Like his own personal global Holodomor

That's cool.

When I was an intelligence analyst in the military I witnessed the President of the United States ignore the entire intelligence community when they indicated to him that there was no evidence linking Saddam Hussein to the September 11 attacks and there was no evidence of any weapons of mass destruction programs in Iraq.

Then I saw that same administration fabricate intelligence indicating the contrary

Then I saw that same administration blame faulty intelligence when no WMDs were found, blaming the entire intelligence community in the process

They somehow managed to ruin the entire IC's credibility when they were right to begin with

That was pretty unbelievable

Because of course they would

In accordance with the programming they have received

False. There are 4 categories of sanctions.

• Comprehensively sanctioned jurisdiction
• Targeted sanctions (individuals and entities threatening the peace, stability, and sovereignty, and/or contributing to conflict)
• Arms embargo
• Secondary sanction

United States Government Sanctions

Doubt humanity

Stay asleep

The last one is literally the gutting of the task force that was focused on sanctions enforcement, seizing assets of Russian oligarchs

Comprehensive sanctions target not only the country and businesses but individuals as well, especially in Russia where the oligarchs control the majority of the nation's wealth

One by one

Trump administration lifts sanctions on wife of Putin ally Boris Rotenberg

White House directs officials to draft proposal to lift US sanctions on Russia

White House seeks plan for possible Russia sanctions relief, sources say

Trump administration disbands task force targeting Russian oligarchs

Then gravity reminds you who's boss the next time you trip over your own feet

The good looking guys would get preferential treatment by the male leadership for sure, but nowhere near on the level the women would get.

Especially if anyone actually was exchanging preferential treatment for sexual favors. I always thought it was weird that it was an open secret that it was going on and noone ever did anything about it

Saw it in the military frequently

Pretty soldiers advanced fastest and received preferential treatment when it came to awards, work opportunities, and time off

I saw both men and women receive special treatment, but mostly women since the leadership was mostly always men

So is Russia now that Trump continues lifting sanctions and gutting sanctions enforcement against Russia

41% increase on tariffs to Syria which is currently also comprehensively sanctioned

Gabbard is weaponizing the intelligence agencies for political purposes

Be prepared for a nonstop torrent of leaks from intelligence professionals who know better than to allow that to happen

Trump imposed tariffs on uninhabited islands near Antarctica, but not Russia.

And one more to the Mueller stack

Russia received no additional tariffs

They're scrubbing all government systems of DEI in the laziest and most reckless way possible with keywords

That's how this keeps happening

I fully expect any mention of black holes to disappear from NASA's systems in the near future

So glad I'm done with that shithole
