A huge amount of the crimes committed by Trump et al have been related

to the sanctions. Getting rid of the sanctions was Trump's deal with Putin.
The lies, the meetings, the attempts at back channels and so much more.
Tons of money could be made without those pesky sanctions.
Who do we have to thank for these sanctions?
Our old buddy Barack Obama. Thanks pal. He knew.

1. lifting sanctions had to be public

The very public lifting of sanctions helped point toward the criminal activity in the background.

I wonder what Obama told various agencies on his way out.

2. So true

And when you think about Trump and Putin and 'The very best people', poor old Vlad didn't do very well either, hiring Trump to do his dirty work. I bet this hasn't turned out as he hoped.

(Good harvest????)

3. Good harvest.

Paid my land taxes for the year with ill-gotten gains. Still illegal in my state. (AZ)
Fixed the truck, bought clothes and much more.
Time for you down under folks to get going.

5. Well done

Started late September. Two weeks until solstice & start of flowers! Were getting the first blast of full summer this week and I reckon it's going to be a hot one.

With those sanctions, Obama saved the US worse damage.

6. Obama!

To be fair, it was also his advisors. Unlike Trump, I believe Obama had pow-wows with his advisors where they'd really discuss various solutions, speaking freely, and Obama would make the ultimate decision.

Obama was pretty good at making decisions, IMO. That's one of the most important things a President does. Make the right decision.

[QED]

7. Decisions made with thought, evidence, and strategy.

45 goes by his gut and very fine mind because he's a smart guy.

8. LOL. Yeah..poor Obama. He's not the smartest guy in the world, like Trump is. nt
