The White House says it is preparing additional “major sanctions” on Russia in response to opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s death in an Arctic penal colony.
interesting, thanks for the education. I also came here to shout “how are there sanctions left to give?!”, and I didn’t consider ‘rules of engagement’ would apply like that.
time passes, new opportunities present themselves. for example: a lot of investigations into where Russian oligarchs have been hiding their money have come to fruition, so seizing those funds through various channels has become an option. New ways Russians have been funneling money through backchannels have presented themselves meaning there are new channels for pursuit.
things chang over time, meaning that new sanctions may be possible. there’s a lot we, as civilians, won’t and can’t know.
it’s possible that new avenues for sanctions have opened up since the last round which the State Dept can now pursue.
