President Donald Trump appeared to back off a promise to sanction Russia for its refusal to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine on Saturday, announcing stringent new conditions on his own allies before he will take action.

Trump has repeatedly threatened to punish Russia with new sanctions if it refuses to reach an agreement with Ukraine, but has failed to follow through as Moscow has ignored several deadlines.

Now, Trump says he will only sanction Russia when all NATO countries stop buying oil from Russia and place sweeping tariffs on China—measures that are unlikely to be met.....

As he has in the past, Trump blamed former President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

"This is not TRUMP’S WAR (it would never have started if I was President!), it is Biden’s and Zelenskyy’s WAR. I am only here to help stop it," he wrote.

(back and forth to let him suffer the same uncertainty he inflicts on everyone else).

Yeah, SS, I did say that, but not being "God" myself, there is no threat from me.
