Sanctions could help, but are expensive politically and practically. Giving the Mossad marching orders in Moscow and Syria might be more productive, and deniable. Whatever we do, it will engender a violent response, but the alternative is unacceptable weakness.
Of course, it’s the U.K. being targeted, and they are weak. I somehow doubt that Putin would pull what the US would call a terrorist CBERN attack on US soil.

- acct1771 9y agoThey're already sanctioned, no? How's that going?
- Erlangolem 9y agoSanctions are not a binary thing, there are many degrees. Freezing of assets, expulsion of diplomats, restricted movement of materials and persons, greater economic sanctions are all options being discussed by the House of Commons as we speak.
