📽️The conventional wisdom is the US has been FAR softer on Russia under Donald Trump than under Joe Biden. But look closer - esp at sanctions - and it's not quite as simple as that... Not at all... A deep dive, featuring the most psychedelic chart ever to appear on Sky News

In H1 2025, exports of German cars to the Republic of Georgia (blue) were up 600% over the same period in 2021 (before Russia invaded Ukraine). The reason the EU has to go cap in hand to the White House is because of this nonsense. Spare me the photo ops. Do your job. Stop this.
