    lol..indeed
    A spokesman for Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, said she was concerned by the new sanctions. “It is, putting it mildly, a peculiar move by the US Senate,” he said.

    Senators insist their bill – passed on Thursday by a margin of 98 to two – is designed to punish Moscow for interfering in last year’s presidential election and limit Mr Trump’s ability to lift sanctions.
    the Nord Stream 2 pipeline is being built beneath the Baltic Sea to supply Russian gas to Germany and beyond. It avoids older routes through Ukraine, which have been disrupted by disputes between Kiev and Moscow.

    In a joint statement, Sigmar Gabriel, the German Foreign Minister, and Christian Kern, the Austrian Chancellor, said European energy supplies were a matter for Europe not the US.
    dumb-assed US Senate...stay the fvck out of foreign policy -you guys are idiots. stick to screwing around with the USA

    The bill is designed in part to make it more difficult for Mr Trump to lift sanctions imposed on Russia for annexing Crimea. As a candidate, he was vocal in his praise for Vladimir Putin, raising suspicions that once in office he would ease restrictions in return for Russian support.
    hoisted by their own Russiaphobia...how delicious

    you mean like Declare War? they can't even run their own powers.
    No. they really have no other role then a treaty,and POTUS has been designing "international executive agreements" to even usurp that basic role.

    They are self-marginalized jokers except when they smell a politicalburger. Other then that they should just #STFU.
    This shows how stupid they really are

    title is a bit off,but Germany's beef is with the US for yet more sanctions ( that do not change Putin's behavior) as the expense of their energy sector jobs.. read the link

    I was wondering that, too. I thought "What the heck are they going to do?". Fly over and drop mega tons of schnitzel on us? Challenge us to a beer-drinking duel at Coney Island?
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    Well, as you may know, the Constitution doesn't stipulate that the Senate should #STFU.

    I was being facetious; it is equally laughable thinking that if we slapped tariffs on the automobile industry they'd be begging us to end that war too.

    it would be nice if you fleshed out your posts to me if you want to engage in dialogue. just saying..

    Ya. I spent 2/3 of my life in Maryland, but only 1/3 in Baltimore - so i'm not some idiot progressive.
    I am fairly centrist. I'm a Federalist too boot. They partys are moving more to the extremes.

    One reason I voted for Trump is the partys have made them selves ungovernable because of the emphasis on party purity.
