| #4 We expel 12 Russians, they expel 12 Americans. What changes? Except for the sovereignty of Ukraine. While the current administration makes nice-sounding noises. |

| #2 AP: Sanctioned the Kremlin’s first deputy chief of staff Alexei Gromov and several individuals linked to Yevgeny Prigozhin, a businessman with close ties to Russia’s president, nicknamed “Putin’s chef” for serving Kremlin functions, and several front companies the U.S. says helped Prigozhin evade sanctions imposed earlier. Also sanctioned were eight individuals and entities tied to Russia’s occupation in Crimea. |

| #1 Have the sanctions had any impact, at all, on Russian behavior in regions where our interests are affected? Even if you swallow the BS about Russian electoral interference, that only underscores how pointless and ineffectual the sanctions have been. US policy toward Russia is a kind of playacting based on fantasy, hysteria and scapegoating Unmistakable proof of decadence and decline |
