(8,387 posts)2. How does terror bombing Ukraine qualify?
Leaving aside whether the consequences of such designation would materially differ from the sanctions already imposed, I dont see how the bombing represents a threat to the national security of the United States in some way that the invasion generally does not.
-
(a) Designation
(1) In general
The Secretary is authorized to designate an organization as a foreign terrorist organization in accordance with this subsection if the Secretary finds that-
(A) the organization is a foreign organization;
(B) the organization engages in terrorist activity (as defined in section 1182(a)(3)(B) of this title or terrorism (as defined in section 2656f(d)(2) of title 22), or retains the capability and intent to engage in terrorist activity or terrorism) 1; and
(C) the terrorist activity or terrorism of the organization threatens the security of United States nationals or the national security of the United States.
