Despite the firing of the national security adviser Mike Flynn over his Russian contacts,
White House officials were still looking at ways to do business with Moscow.

 

There's nothing harder for people to do than admit they were fooled.

The circumstances are shady but wouldn't the Exxon deal benefit both countries?

If it benefits Russia, then it's a no deal. The sanctions are in place to punish Russia for their interference in the election/ukraine.

Both Trump and Putin are appalling leaders, but trade is trade. You just don't punish an entire country for its leader. What if the entire world decides to punish the US for Trump and the Paris Climate deal? 

I guess the US still thinks they are the centre of the universe...

What are you even talking about? It's not "trade is trade" when a country is attempting to undermine your democracy. The sanctions are in place to punish Russia, not just Putin. Don't know where you got that idea from. You don't know what you're talking about.

I didn't say the sanctions are just to punish Putin. You should learn to read properly.

The US had trade relationships with many questionable countries. I'm just asking why the double standards when it comes to Russia?

Are we seriously asking this question on World Environment Day of all days :giveup: 

Incoming eco-apocalypse aside :air:, this is a good book on Exxon if you'd like to learn more about the company and its evils:
