(111,076 posts)That is his way of getting back at them for not dropping the sanctions on Putin. Vladimir is going to be very angry at Donald. The secret phone lines are going to be real busy the rest of this week.

(1,129 posts)Will most likely let the vote take place even with the possibility of it passing....
That way it will be up to *45 to Veto it.
Then it would have to be re-voted on w/a supermajority vote to override the veto.
The big issue is that it seeks to codify the 2014 sanctions... which are extremely valuable to Vlad.
*45 will likely experience even greater pressure (by vlad) to lift those sanctions over the next few days....
We shall see.
