Trump and Witkoff Move to Ally With Russia

US Treasury lifts sanctions on firms that supplied equipment for Russia’s military needs.

The delistings include Cyprus-based Veles International Limited and its owner, Dmytro Buhaienko — a subsidiary of an investment firm based in Moscow. The firm’s Moscow-based legal entities remain under U.S. sanctions.

Veles was placed under restrictions in 2023 for operating in Russia’s financial sector and working with wealthy Russian private individuals.

Sanctions were also lifted on Dubai-based 365 Days Freight Services FZCO and Turkey’s Etasis, which had exported sanctioned equipment to Russia for military purposes.

In addition, restrictions were removed on Finland’s Hi-Tech Koneisto and its chief executive, Yevheniia Dremova, who supplied optoelectronic and laboratory equipment to sanctioned Russian companies.

Another Turkish firm, CPS Proses Kontrol Urunleri Sanayi Ve Ticaret Anonim Sirketi, had supplied German and U.S.-made machine tools to a Russian defense contractor that is also under U.S. sanctions.

The U.S. Treasury Department did not explain the reasons for lifting the sanctions and did not say whether its policy toward the Russian recipient companies would change
.

It's patently obvious that if these birds had been in power in 1940, we would have gone to war on the side of the Nazis. Who is the aggressor and who is the victim in the current war is no mystery.

But for reasons, whether ideologial or fiscal, Trump is aligning this country on the side of the bad guys. And his party is mute on this. Which is understandable, the GOP was backing Hitler right up until the bombs fell.

How much grease did it take?

If you mean "right up until the bombs fell" on Pearl Harbor, you are mistaken. They never supported the war in Europe, only the war in the Pacific, against the non-White Japanese. That is what McCarthyism was all about: making sure that that divide never healed.
