This.
Israel represents a massive foothold in the region for the US, as well as facilitating all of those new oil pipelines running through Gaza. Palestinians are probably going to be wiped off the face of the Earth in order to keep that sweet sweet oil money in American politician's pockets.
So either they were going light on sanctions despite Russia invading and attacking a sovereign nation or they're lying about adding sanctions just for diplomatic clout.
it's possible that new avenues for sanctions have opened up since the last round which the State Dept can now pursue.
interesting, thanks for the education. I also came here to shout "how are there sanctions left to give?!", and I didn't consider 'rules of engagement' would apply like that.
time passes, new opportunities present themselves. for example: a lot of investigations into where Russian oligarchs have been hiding their money have come to fruition, so seizing those funds through various channels has become an option. New ways Russians have been funneling money through backchannels have presented themselves meaning there are new channels for pursuit.
things chang over time, meaning that new sanctions may be possible. there’s a lot we, as civilians, won’t and can’t know.
The idea is that you don't dump all of your sanctions at once onto Russia, because then they have nowhere else to go but to escalation. The west wants to give Putin economic "off-ramps" so he can withdraw from Ukraine out of financial pressure rather than with violence.
Double secret sanctions
Who told you about the double secret sanctions???
Somebody broke Rule 1 of the Double Secret Sanctions Club.
I bet they are going to cancel Putin's Netflix account now. Could start WW3
Nyetflix.
Whoa whoa whoa, that's maybe too harsh. Maybe just downgrade him to ad-supported?
People like you literally want to see the world burn. Sanctions I understand, but advertisements, might as well threaten him with waterboarding.
Government: kills one person
USA: sanctions! All the sanctions!
Other government: kills 29,000 persons
USA: would you, idk, like some more bombs?
So have they been holding back this whole time?
It would start to become less about sanctioning russia and more about applying sanctions to anyone who does any kind of business with them
They'll teach'em!
How many more sanctions can the US still put on Russia? They've shown that western sanctions mean nothing as long as India and China are willing to do business.
There always the option of sanctioning countries that don't sanction the target country.
This should already be happening to Russia. It should be a ratcheting strategy of continuing sanctions till Russia retreat back to their own borders.
Awwwe yeah let's get it.
sounds serious
