Show me the list if 500 and include a letter explaining why they weren’t sanction before now.
That would be something approaching journalism

It was trivial to find too:
the Russians have no more use for him, why would they dump money down that hole now
Trump can win. Don't assume he won't.
Yeah he has 2 entry points too.
Haley won't drop out of the race and keeps confirming they will Pardon Trump of anything she can.
Just as I can see a Trump victory, I think she sees a reality in which Trump is nailed and uses it to show she was running the whole time. Scoops up his voters and more moderates who because of fucked up propaganda think the insurrectionist leader being jailed is an issue and wins to pardon and add him to the cabinet and make him defacto leader.
We really need a good showing from Democrats both in leadership and voters or else there are lots of ways we fall here.
Definitely true but also funny that Putin has said he prefers dealing with Biden, but that's just probably because Biden is old school and doesn't talk about how cool it was that Putin one time gave him a soccer ball and doesn't ask if they are friends all the time.
If Putin says he prefers dealing with Biden you can be certain he does not prefer Biden.
Why haven't these sanctions already been in effect? Seems like every now and then there are some more sanctions being added but why not just do them all already?
Russia has directly threatened US with nuclear war several times since Ukraine war began. They have also attacked our banks, cities, institutions, governments with ransom ware and have used misinformation campaigns to influence democratic US elections. Omg I almost forgot that the Charlottesville neo nazi March where a woman was murdered was planned and organized by Russia.
Oh and remember when Russia hacked the DNC to steal emails about Clinton and Sanders ( also fuck the DNC for that nonsense) which they sold to the Trump campaign. And how a Russian spy was arrested in the US when she was caught funneling Russian money through the NRA to Trump.
These are just the first things to come to mind I’m sure there is so much more I’m forgetting
Your phrasing sort of made it sound like you were saying Russia isn't a threat. But yeah it sucks that Cuba is still embargoed. I hope that changes soon.
Wait, so the country we are actively financing a war with is not already cut off from any and all economic activity with us?
So we're helping them win the war that we are financing against them.
They've been doing this since the russians first invaded; painful sanctions with threats of even more painful sanctions if things continue. You don't cut off everything instantly, it leaves you with nothing to negotiate with if they push even further. It also causes trust issues with other countries if you cut off someone completely for one (admittedly major) fuckup. That's how you lose allies.
Also worth noting is this quote from the treasury department (thanks botzo);
"To deny Russia the resources necessary to support its brutal war against Ukraine, Treasury is designating targets including a major cog in Russia’s financial infrastructure; more than two dozen third-country sanctions evaders in Europe, East Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East; and hundreds of entities in Russia’s military-industrial base and other key sectors."
Theyre adding sanctions for proxy countries that are being used to get around already established sanctions. Cleanup, essentially.
Have I got news for you…
