#2 Oh for f--k's sake, why are we continuing this charade?
What gave sanctions achieved for us?
In what way, if at all, has Russian behavior been curbed by these stupid and crude punitive measures?
What good does it do to reduce Putin's loot by 60 or 80% when he still has at least $10 billion in liquid assets stashed away?

Sanctions only punish the ordinary Russian family. Now the Russians despise us. Putin's more popular than ever.

Can anybody here play this game?

#4 By this standard we should sanction the hell out of China. Must be the old DC double standard.
