The United States on Friday unleashed its most extensive package of sanctions on Russia since the invasion of Ukraine two years ago, targeting Russia’s financial sector and military-industrial complex in a broad effort to degrade the Kremlin’s war machine.

The Biden administration, responding to the death of Aleksei A. Navalny, unveiled its largest sanctions package to date as the war in Ukraine enters its third year.

We've been talking about this in multiple threads here on ATS.

It seems the Biden administration actually did something about Navalny's death. Now we'll see what effect - if any, it will have on Russia and the rest of the world.

So did Trump. Trump compared himself to Navalny. Last month he compared himself to Jesus, if I remember correctly.

I think he's running out of martyrs to compare himself to.

This, combined with our continued involvement with the Israel/Gaza mess is just going to push more countries to join BRICS.

Now do the same to IRAN.

What took Biden so long?
It's been, what, two years since the invasion?

Sorry if this seems cynical-but Russia have already been sanctioned up to the eyeballs over th Ukrainian war-and I am yet to see any effect on the battlefield.

And while I don't agree with political assasinations-I highly doubt this will achieve anything more than a chuckle from the GRU/FSB and Kremlin.

Does anyone think these new sanctions will change the behaviour of those who like to murder anyone who does not agree with them?

And, in a related note, Vladimir Putin renews his support of Biden in the 24 election.

If he does I'm not seeing it.
I see him getting exactly what he wanted by his comment in your post though.
Anyways these sanctions won't do much as those in Russia have had much time to figure out the work around and we have known this for some time. So this just seems like a way to gain political favor.

Your anal retention seems to know on bounds! No matter what the subject your inability to focus on any topic without viewing it through your TDS is astounding!

Russia-sanctions-Biden=topic, and Biden's handlers probably wouldn't have placed any sanctions if it wasn't an election year. Three years of showing us how weak he is as a POTUS makes his new 'tough guy' persona laughable, at best.

Putin was asked by interviewer Pavel Zarubin who was "better for us" out of Biden, a Democrat, and Trump, a Republican.

Putin replied without hesitation: "Biden. He is a more experienced, predictable person, a politician of the old school."

Can you see it now?

Russia is much larger, richer and had bigger and supposedly superior military than Ukraine.

2 years later Russia has suffered massive casualties, is relying on North Korea for support and is reduced to measuring success as individual small towns it can capture after months long offensives.

How much of that is down to sanctions, how much is direct aid and how much is the determination of Ukraine itself is impossible to separate, but its clear what is being done is having some effect.

I don't really take him for his word.
I mean if we all did that then David Dukes endorsement would mean just as much correct?

He added sanctions in 2022.

Was that an election year?

Just as Watchitburn stated, sanctions aren’t doing anything other than making the Russias supply chain move away from anything associated with the dollar. These moves will only strengthen BRICS and make them the place to run to escape the collapsing dollar, but somehow I think Bidens administration knows that.

Commies helping commies bring down the dollar and people will cheer it on.

Every two years is an election year for Senate and the House. 400ish house seats and 30ish Senates seats were voted on in 2022.

Wouldn't these additional sanctions have been more useful at the BEGINNING of the invasion?
Two years in...they might've had a possible cumulative impact by now.

it's not a "gotcha" kind of thing, it's what's called "facts". It happened. Twice. What it means to you is kind of up to you.

If you include any election then every year is an election year.

Kind of negates the posters claim that it was only done as an election year.

It's not just the US invoking these sanctions. Other countries are involved too.
