This headline is inaccurate. There's a bunch of journalists reporting that it was a snafu with the wording of the sanction that blocked US government agencies from importing technology into Russia because the FSB oversees tech imports. Obama had intended to correct it before he left office but I guess other stuff came up. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Here's the full wording of the order, read it for yourself, it's only a few pages long and, to me, it reads like we're allowing companies to sell sensitive IT tech to the FSB: https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/Programs/Documents/cyber_gl1.pdf

It's for the purposes of licensure because the FSB controls technology imports into Russia. If an American agency needs new computers or cell phones at their Moscow office FSB handles the controls.

It sounds kinda like how the Secret Service handles security of the president and.... anti-counterfeiting operations. Also every white house statement needs [citation needed] at the end. https://twitter.com/mmurraypolitics/status/827214253929152517

At this rate Donald's never gonna get that 19% of Rosneft he was promised.

McCain has been running an independent US diplomatic mission for years. He also likes to tour Ukraine and promise support. He did the same in Syria when the civil war started. Given US policy in those countries you can see his influence is not zero but also not much.

WAR CRIME SYNDICAT posted:Spicer really is loving Baghdad Bob Jesus Christ https://twitter.com/AlexanderEmmons/status/827234544860401664 Yep. As for McCain, he's a Senior Statesman. So for people that don't know that much about the American system, like very angry Austrailians, an Important And Influential United States Senator can smooth over some fuckups. That's also kind of why random senators and representatives will sometimes go to other countries to boost their own standing. Sometimes it goes wrong, like Tulsi Gabbard visiting Syria and getting played like a fiddle by Assad. Most times, it's just a way to improve relations and it's very, very hard to actually make things worse.

Reverand maynard posted:Trump scrawls out an EO in crayon saying the US defaults on all loans to foreign governments and banks. The Supreme Court is 4/4 split on whether he has the power to do this or not and since the dems haven't confirmed trumps SC nominee he has uses this as an excuse to dissolve the Supreme Court. Meanwhile the seals are renamed to waffen SS just before the invasion of Mexico and Canada. Because every officer that doesn't watch WWE has been booted out, combat group Mexico invades Canada during winter and is devastated. Combat group canada invades Mexico and continue on to South America but all drown crossing the Panama Canal. Not content with their own branch of service, the marines secede from the union starting their own nation state in Jacksonville declaring everything in range of their artillery range to be their domain. Wow, that escalated quickly.
