Seize their property, freeze banking, dox addresses; really punish them.

Isn't that what you want, to hurt people?

it's almost like sane people are trying to stop the slaughter of families in Ukraine.


Putin's claims that Ukraine is committing genocide are baseless, but not  unprecedented

How many people have the yachts killed?
Yes, typical con more worried about the super rich than regular people.
And in your case more worried about Russian super rich than victims of Russian aggression.

That means 37 weren't sanctioned by Russia.


Nope. Didn't work that way. These are the 37:
  • Andy Barr - Kentucky (R)
  • Gus Bilirakis - Florida (R)
  • Kevin Brady - Texas (R)
  • David Cicilline - Rhode Island (D)
  • Steve Cohen - Tennessee (D)
  • Gerry Connolly - Virginia (D)
  • Warren Davidson - Ohio (R)
  • Rosa DeLauro - Connecticut (D)
  • Ted Deutch - Florida (D)
  • Anna Eshoo - California (D)
  • Brian Fitzpatrick - Pennsylvania (R)
  • Steny Hoyer - Maryland (D)
  • Richard Hudson - North Carolina (R)
  • Sheila Lee Jackson - Texas (D)
  • Mike Johnson - Louisiana (R)
  • Marcy Kaptur - Ohio (D)
  • William Keating - Massachusetts (D)
  • Adam Kinzinger - Illinois (R)
  • Raja Krishnamoorthi - Illinois (D)
  • Ted Lieu - California (D)
  • Tom Malinowski - New Jersey (D)
  • Kevin McCarthy - California (R)
  • Michael McCaul - Texas (R)
  • James McGovern - Massachusetts (D)
  • Gregory Meeks - New York (D)
  • Gwen Moore - Wisconsin (D)
  • Jerrold Nadler - New York (D)
  • Frank Pallone - New Jersey (D)
  • Mike Rogers - Alabama (R)
  • Adam Schiff - California (D)
  • Bradley Schneider - Illinois (D)
  • Brad Sherman - California (D)
  • Albio Sires - New Jersey (D)
  • Chris Smith - New Jersey (D)
  • Jackie Speier - California (D)
  • Eric Swalwell - California (D)
  • David Trone - Maryland (D)
  • Michael Turner - Ohio (R)
  • Maxine Waters - California (D)
  • Randy Weber - Texas (R)
  • Joe Wilson - South Carolina (R)
Several representatives on the list, including Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Matt Gaetz of Florida and Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina have been sympathetic toward Russia and President Vladimir Putin.

"President Biden should not have a blank check to sanction whoever he deems a "human rights violator," Gaetz tweeted. "Thus, I voted against legislation today intended to punish Russia and Belarus, but which actually gives the Biden Administration troubling, sweeping powers."

On the other hand, Adam Kinzinger and Raja Krishnamoorthi both representing Illinois and Eric Swalwell of California have all been vocal about their opposition to Russia's invasion of Ukraine but were not on the list of those sanctioned.


Russia said more were to come. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to who was named. Maybe Russia had trouble finding the information for those not on the list. Who knows. It doesn't mention in the article what the sanctions are, although it seems to include banning them from Russia.

I haven't read the charges against the "super rich", I was asking how many people the yachts had killed?

The yachts were purchased with money stolen from the Russian citizens. The yachts owners hide Putin's money which he stole from his people.

The majority of the civilized world disagrees with you.

It isn't just GOPers who are those 37.
But nice try at pushing Russia's "gaslight trolling" strategy.

I wouldn't either.
You would rather be on the wrong side of history than be grouped with a Dem?
That is the problem with today's GOP.
