The United States plans to sanction approximately 400 Russian individuals and entities, including more than 300 lawmakers from the Duma, the lower house of the Russian parliament, and Russian elites, a senior Biden administration official said Thursday.
As Russia’s unprovoked and increasingly brutal invasion of Ukraine enters its second month Thursday, the G-7 group of major economies and the European Union will also announce new measures to crack down on Russian efforts to evade current sanctions, including those on its central bank.

'You're playing a game with me': Biden says sanctions were NEVER meant to deter 'brute' Putin, will last a year, and promises US will respond 'in kind' if he uses chemical weapons in tense exchange in Brussels
Biden: (Grrr) (Grrr) 'You're playing a game with me' (sob) (sob) (sob)
Biden admits ‘no one expected the sanctions to prevent anything,’ Psaki says he didn’t mean it!
Mr. Prez flip flops on prime time in a few weeks time and he expects people not to call him out on it.
If sanction "never meant to deter Putin" why doing more?
you guys support Putin, it seems

Sanctions do what they can do. They do not end the war. Only Putin can do that. Meantime, sanctions are seriously disrupting Russins and their nation.
Why is it more important to belittle the president than it is to confront dictator Putin?

In living memory we have been doing embargoes, sanctions and boycotts for around 80 years.
We are told by trolls, miscreants and liberals that the embargo against Japan of oil and scrap iron in 1940 was an act of war. A shot wasn't fired, but it was an act of war. The boycott against Japan had a decisive effect. They expanded their war. They were always going to expand their war, but now the timetable was sped up. If you let them proceed at their own pace and digest their conquests are they then defeatable?
We have boycotted the 1980 Summer Olympics over the invasion of Afghanistan. We had an official boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics. Did those boycotts accomplish anything?
On top of the Olympic Boycott we had an embargo against the USSR. Carter's embargo had minimal effect.
The boycott of South Africa seemed to have worked. But is that true? The effects of the boycott are confounded with the Sullivan Principles put into action, demographic shifts and pressure from an ongoing insurgency.
The sanctions against Iran work. Their economy tanked. There are always confounding factors such as poor governance and world markets plus ying yangs easing off the sanction almost as fast as they are slapped on.
On top of sanctions and embargoes we have "export controls". Those are important and should never be let up, but they have, when a cretin moved responsibility to the Commerce Department for fun a profit.
I think sanctions against a country that has a large amount of exports needs to last a minimum of two years to allow the "hydraulic effect" of sanctions on the balance of trade to have a meaningful effect. Sanctions usually should not be ramped up. they should be more like an "impulse". Ramping up allows time for the target to adapt. Ramping up sanction is is similar to losing a battle because reinforcements were fed piece meal.
If the country is large and has land borders so it can easily trade with like minded countries, the sanctions will and should be a generational thing. You are in it for the duration. I think that duration would be 20 or 30 years based on my observation of the Soviet Union.
Why should people not be unrelenting in overturning election fraud or any other crime?
We saw what Ruby Freeman did.
We saw swing states freeze their vote counting in the middle of the night and then Joe miraculously won those states.
We hear Coomer of Dominion on video telling prospective buyers that the machines could be hooked up to the internet and then after the election say it wasn't so.
