10. The combined impact of European and US sanctions will have more than a "little effect".

Tue Feb 22, 2022, 11:38 PM

Feb 2022

Impending SWIFT transaction sanctions and the halting of Nordstream II will all have an impact. The NY Times is not all knowing. They can spew GOP propaganda like Fox. I think the sanctions delivered today and those yet to be delivered are the best that can be done. We are supplying Javelin and Stinger missiles. Do you want American soldiers in Ukraine? To me, unless you provide a more effective solution, posting this article is just pushing a future GOP talking point. What is your point? I can provide articles from the Washington Post and CNN that claim the sanctions will be very effective.
