Why partial sanctions on Russian banks fails. Cc: US, EU
RT @RobinBrooksIIF: Evaluation of our sanctions policy
1. Only 2 questions matter. First, have our sanctions meaningfully curtailed Russia's ability to wage war? Second, are our sanctions a deterrent to countries that may wage war in the future? Unfortunately, the answer to both questions is: "No!" https://t.co/0wHOEb3dnE

Huomio! Huomio! If you're curious about Russia's "Private Military Companies" aka mercenary groups operating in Ukraine and elsewhere (especially since a Finnish citizen is a co-owner of one, "Redut").

I figure that in 50 years, today's 20 year-olds will have mellowed and forgotten enough to allow these "people" back into Europe.

While those younger will not have fully experienced this "culture".

Until then the doors will remain shut.

And then... we start all over again.

If you accept this as the "New Normal", it might soon be normal for you too. It is Russia after all.
RT @LotteLeicht1: #UN GA States who care about basic Int'l Law & Humanity should NEVER accept #Russia's brutal #CrimeOfAggression as the "New Normal"‼️

They should adopt a Resolution paving the way for a Special Int'l Tribunal for this leadership crime against #Ukraine⚖️
