Trump’s Flip-Flopping Putin Policy Flips Again With New Russia Sanctions
LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON – President Donald Trump’s flip-flopping response to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine flipped yet again Wednesday, with an announcement of new economic sanctions against Russia’s two biggest oil companies. And that statement came just two weeks after Trump proposed letting Ukraine use U.S.-made Tomahawk cruise missiles against Russia. Putin has insisted that Russia should get territory it has been unable to seize despite 44 months of trying. It’s unclear what the new sanctions on Russia can accomplish that previous rounds of sanctions have not. “They’re massive sanctions, sanctions on oil, the two biggest oil companies, among the biggest in the world,” Trump boasted Wednesday.

Nobody Wants This Season 2: Critics Are Split Over Netflix Rom-Com
AdvertisementSome critics have praised the show for being binge-worthy, offering some escapism and carrying on what made Nobody Wants This such a hit last year. But the honeymoon phase could be over for viewers too, because the hot rabbi novelty has now worn off.”“[Season two] is familiar to a fault. With Nobody Wants This season two, most everything remains compelling, interesting, funny, or romantic, and in a way that feels real and relatable. It still has appeal, but it is starting to sit much more close to the surface.”“Overall, Netflix’s rom-com captivates with a season that is nearly as charming as its predecessor. A focus on Noah and Joanne’s relationship after their honeymoon phase and having them work out their differences allows for the series to feel much more raw and real.”
