Trump threatens 'big surprise' for Putin as Russia shuts down internet

New economic sanctions and massive drone/missile attack against Moscow reportedly in the works, risking yet another escalation toward World War III.

A bill targeting Russia with major new sanctions is gaining momentum in the U.S. Senate after a key Republican senator indicated Tuesday that President Donald Trump is now on board.

“We’re moving,” said Senator Lindsey Graham, the bill’s author and a notorious neocon warmonger and Russia hater.

Graham said Trump “told me it’s time to move so we’re going to move.”

According to an article by Politico, Senator Graham joined Senate Majority Leader John Thune, another flaming neocon, along with other Republican senators in signaling a scheduling announcement for the bill later this week. That could set up the long-stalled bill to come to the floor later this month.

The sudden burst of momentum, according to Politico, comes after Trump publicly suggested Tuesday he was seriously looking at the sanctions bill after he aired bitter frustrations with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s refusal to enter peace talks with Ukraine.

Trump is demanding a ceasefire. Putin, who is winning the war, does not.
