Quote:

Russia's foreign ministry says it has imposed sanctions on US President Joe Biden and 12 other US officials.

The list includes Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin, press secretary Jen Psaki and other members of the administration.

But it also includes two surprises: former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Mr Biden's son Hunter.

The measures block their entry into Russia and freeze any assets held in the country.

However, the ministry has said the sanctions will not impede necessary high-level contacts for the affected individuals.

Other names on the list are:

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley
National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan
Deputy National Security Adviser Daleep Singh
US Agency for International Development (USAID) Administrator Samantha Power
Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo
President of the Export-Import Bank of the US Reta Jo Lewis
The ministry has said it is applying sanctions "on the basis of reciprocity

The name of Donald J. Trump is most notable by its glaring absence.

I am saying, how does his relationship with pootin enhance his popularity in Ammuuuria?
It makes him *more* offensive to me.

It enhances his popularity amongst people who are predisposed to liking people like Trump.

People who like folks of an autocratic disposition. Who are "strong," and satisfy the Social Darwinist imperative.

Do we actually know how much support Trump has now, after his declaration of luv for pootin?
I am sure he would have lost *some* support as a result, as he lost support after the 6th.

I don't happen to believe in some of the "woke" stuff myself......

I'm certainly no "hard-core leftie."

I believe in universal health care----but I don't believe a white person is inherently a racist.
