Bloomberg · Russia Is Finding Ways Round US Oil Sanctions — For NowBy Julian Lee

@ReedsDad @GottaLaff Bingo. If the US or NATO or the UN wanted to, we could impose a blockade around Russia. But we don't want to. The very idea sounds ludicrous.

If we wanted to quietly, deniably, stop Russian oil exports, we could pirate and sink their empty tankers on their way back to Russia.

We don't do effective things because, frankly, our government doesn't give a shit. The sanctions were to look tough to our people, not to effectively punish Russia. The new administration won't bother pretending.
