I like it.

Russian goods are still being sold in the US. They are just being distributed through third/fourth parties to avoid any embargo.

The previous administration knew all about it, but did nothing to stop it.


I bet Trump's team will find 'get outs' for both Russia and Ukraine to start talking and bring about a cessation. The US will possibly threaten them with a few more financial barriers too (that won't eventuate) if they don't agree to get around 'the table'.
