Business as usual. Make a big noise and bang your fist at the podium, then ignore it behind the scenes. At least Europe won't run out of gas.

- kshacker 5y agoI have been watching the sanction game for 45 days now. Almost every day, we have new sanctions ... bigger and better, and this time we will fix them. For first 2 weeks I ignored it, because it takes time to get your act together (although I am sure CIA has a cookbook somewhere so if they really wanted to do it, they could). But after those 2 weeks, I have lost faith. Everything seems to be a charade and the next round of sanctions get applied after 1) some oligarch is exposed, or 2) some major war crime news comes out. I am sure we can go another 100 rounds of sanctions. Quite sad.
