Trump extended Biden's ban on Russian ships entering US ports.

US President Donald Trump has extended the ban on Russian ships entering US ports, imposed under Biden, for one year. A document published in the US Federal Register of Government Documents states that the state of emergency related to the regulation of anchorage and traffic of Russian ships is being extended. It is also noted that this decision is based on the assertion that Russia's foreign policy and actions still pose a threat to the US.

This ban was initially imposed by the previous US administration in April 2022. At that time, a state of emergency was declared, granting the US Secretary of Homeland Security authority to regulate the berthing of any Russian-linked vessels in the US.

According to the document, vessels flying the Russian flag or whose beneficial owner is the Russian government, a Russian company, or a Russian citizen or permanent resident are considered Russia-related. Furthermore, the ban applies to vessels operated by Russia or to a Russian company, or to a Russian citizen or permanent resident responsible for making commercial decisions regarding the vessel's use. Furthermore, this measure implies an extension of the blocking of Russian assets, as well as other sanctions and secondary restrictions on foreign financial institutions cooperating with Russian defense industry enterprises.

      hi I believe that at this point there is reason to recognize the work and service of special representative Dmitriev in the negotiations with the Zionist troika Zyatkoff-Vitkoff and D. Grunbaum as unsatisfactory.
      Time will tell.

        recognize the work and service of special representative Dmitriev ... as unsatisfactory.

        And it wouldn't hurt to draw some organizational conclusions.
        In fact, these negotiations can all be summed up in the words of a character from "In August '44": "We're just holding out for a pittance." And time flies...

          According to Yeltsin's Constitution of the Russian Federation, written, by the way, by CIA agents even without translation into Russian, There is no state ideology in Russia.
          I'd like to point out that the motivational program for citizens' behavior is established through IDEOLOGY, and in practice, no one has actually abolished it. Specifically,

          Ideological education in the Russian Federation has long been "sour". The dominant bourgeois ideology of the American economist M. Friedman now They no longer call it “bourgeois,” but rather, in a class-abstract way, simply “market,” with elements of the so-called “monetarism.” (i.e. bourgeois pursuit of financial profits).
          In this case, you can not equalize the concept of real capitalism with all its flaws with the doctrinaire idea of ​​the American Milton Friedman in the form of a kind of speculative social project, brought to life, to build a supposedly ideally fair capitalism on Earth all over the world. Due to what?
          At the expense the alleged existence in the world of some kind of anarchist, absolutely "free" world market from everyone and everything, which is supposedly absolutely "clean" from profanations and dishonesty Both from the participants in the capital, goods (services), and labor markets themselves, and from the pressure exerted on them by the national state. And yet, Friedman naively assumes that all state-free market participants are initially equal in their life start-up and can always become rich, if they so choose. Utopia and bluff in its purest form!
          Behind this attempt by Friedman to whitewash capitalism lies a very definite goal taken by Washington's apologists. Namely.
          Purpose of this american bluff is that sovereign countries, "native" to the United States, uncontrollably and duty-free on the part of their governments, erroneously freely and defenselessly from competition, open access to their domestic markets for US transnational companies for the sale of foreign goods and the purchase of "native" wealth by foreigners, enterprises and natural resources.
          In this case, the reduction of native state property to the maximum - to "0" - is promoted by the "market people" exclusively as a public good. For the state supposedly no longer needs to control anything, no one needs to be punished, and there is no need to regulate trade and production either. That all members of society will become such honest and law-abiding entrepreneurs that, therefore, it will no longer be necessary to protect the population from crooks, thieves, robbers and murderers. And therefore the supposedly national state, like an anachronism, it will disappear by itself as unnecessary, and there is no need to protect it at all. Because the distribution of material goods "from above" at the state level will not be necessary, since everything will be regulated by this "ideal" capitalist market. As for those who don't fit into the market—that's their problem. Let them, they say, survive on their own as best they can. This includes, in particular, all the so-called "superfluous" people: pensioners, the disabled, children, and so on—all those who "didn't fit into the market." But they should be "happy" in their freedom from the centuries-old, fattening, abstractly bureaucratic state that has oppressed them in this way, ]as anarchists have always dreamed of for centuries.

          TOTAL All this Milton Friedman ideology about the alleged existence of the so-called. "free" and "clean" market is an anarchist propaganda of the American establishment to decompose the national security of sovereign states to their complete liquidation and subordination of their resources in favor of US transnational companies.
          Unfortunately, this ideology has been unofficially adopted by the Russian ruling elite as a state ideology. It is implemented in practice by the government of the Russian Federation, the guarantor of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, in the State Duma and the Federation Council. And the HSE is the forge of bourgeois young cadres in this comprador economy and its apologists.

            Historical reference.
            After the ratification of the Belovezh Accords, Russia became a colony of the unipolar world under the leadership of Washington. One of the most important instruments for managing Russia as a colony became Russia's new credit and financial system (CFS). Specifically,

            On 20 of December 1991, the State Bank of the USSR was abolished. All assets, liabilities and property of the USSR State Bank on the territory of the RSFSR were transferred to the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. A few months later, the Central Bank of the RSFSR (Bank of Russia) was renamed the Central Bank of the Russian Federation (Bank of Russia).
            The very first version of the law "On the Central Bank of the RSFSR (Bank of Russia)" was adopted on December 2 of 1990 of the year, after Yeltsin B.N. by a huge margin, he won the election and became the first president of Russia, and after six months of his presidency he signed Federal Law No. 1990-02.12.1990 of 394. The law was modified and supplemented, but in general its essence was preserved.

            The betrayal of the national sovereignty of the Russian Federation in the field of finance was laid down and reinforced in its very Constitution of the Russian Federation of December 12 1993, which was compiled under the EBN under the patronage of Washington.
            Officially, the authors of this colonial Constitution of the Russian Federation from the 1993 of the year were: Sergei Shakhrai, Anatoly Sobchak, Sergey Sergeyevich Alekseev and the Constitutional Meeting of the Russian Federation.
            The Constitution of the Russian Federation from 1993 of the year only consolidated the colonial position of the Russian Federation in this matter.
            As a result, we have colonial legislation in the country, which, it seems, is impossible under comprador power to abolish in any way peacefully.

            According to Yeltsin's Constitution of the Russian Federation, written, by the way, by CIA agents even without translation into Russian, There is no state ideology in Russia.

            More precisely, Part 2 of Article 13 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation reads as follows:
            No ideology can be established as state or mandatory.

            https://www.consultant.ru/document/cons_doc_LAW_28399/5b9338a7944b7701fbe63f48c943e8175be16462/?ysclid=mo2v0j2gix304502700
            Tatyana, you are a provocateur and a hater of the peoples of the Russian Federation. The Russian Federation not only lacks a state, but also mandatory ideologies and me personally it quite arranges, as well as the peoples of the Russian Federation having adopted this Constitution of the Russian Federation by referendum (one of the two highest forms of expression of the people's will, according to the Constitution of the Russian Federation).
            If you don't like something in the Russian Constitution, that's your problem. Furthermore, your lengthy comments are nothing more than spam, as they have nothing to do with the topic of this article, but are aimed at inciting discord.

                  How does my anarchism and anti-state activity manifest itself?
                  In matters of principle! Namely.
                  A country needs a state ideology if it considers itself sovereign and is ready to defend itself against enemies with all its people, not a "who's who" or "who's who" attitude! In this sense, you reek of Makhnovism and Trumpism a mile away!

                  No, of course not, I don’t want to be a disenfranchised brute burdened by an ideology imposed on me by the state, including in the person of loudmouths like you.
                  I understand your outlook and your interests in bourgeois, unprincipled individualistic personal enrichment. Everything you do is just like Milton Friedman, with his propaganda of comprador and corrupt ideology for Third World countries, outlined in his book "Capitalism and Freedom," in which a person's value is determined solely by the amount of money they have, thanks to their exploitation of their official position for all sorts of machinations, such as plundering the state budget and simply robbing employers—illegally privatizing, and simply stealing the people's property at every opportunity!

                  State ideology in Russia in fact, it actually exists informally And it's imposed on us from outside! And you're incapable of understanding it or properly evaluating it! Because it's embedded within you as your own ideology, and you use it as a guide to action for your own personal, anti-Russian benefit!
                  In other words, according to Friedman's analysis, you yourself are essentially the corrupt "fifth" pro-oligarchic, anti-Russian column in our country, just as is the case in Ukraine with Zelensky and his pro-British, Russophobic Kyiv regime. Whether you like it or not!

          hi Well, if a special agent is pursuing selfish personal interests, it is necessary to completely keep all his actions and effective movements secret from the entire public, and not promote them through all sources, which does not bring honor to those he serves for selfish reward.
          Although, that’s another story, since politics cannot be honest.

      some interests of our side require contact with such "partners"

      It is possible to make contact, but you must take a tough stance.
      For example, we're selling uranium to our "partners." I don't think we should be doing that in the current situation. But fine, we're selling it. Who's stopping us from telling our "partners" that we'll only transport the uranium they need on our own vessels? Either lift the sanctions, or we won't transport it. And their so-called one-voyage license doesn't suit us. It's all or nothing.
      And there are many such positions, and one could dunk their faces in their shit repeatedly.

          Apparently, US citizens are happy with the current gas prices of $4 per gallon (4 liters)
          In Russia, they simply introduced a tax on resellers (splitting up the oil refinery business) of 55000 rubles per ton of gasoline.
          and the previous duty for gasoline producers, i.e., refineries, was 16000 rubles per ton of gasoline.
          So it turns out that the Russian budget has an income of 71 rubles per liter.
          (SVO - need money)
          That's why 100 costs 96 rubles per liter

      Trump: How do you see it?

    Trump reeks of Anchorage...it just stinks.

    It has become popular to mock the "spirit of Anchorage" with some wit.
    However, objectively speaking, Lavrov and others' appeals to this "spirit" are nothing more than a reminder of Trump's verbal agreement that Donbas belongs to Russia, taking into account the actual situation on the front. And then there are the routine and non-committal statements about a desire for negotiations to end the conflict. So there's nothing shameful about this "spirit."
