Comment on The one good thing about all this

  One is a sanction lifting on a fairly unimportant woman, true. Two are about “plans” a month ago (nothing was put in practice). Last one is tangentially related. But none are really about lifting sanctions.

    The last one is literally the gutting of the task force that was focused on sanctions enforcement, seizing assets of Russian oligarchs

    Comprehensive sanctions target not only the country and businesses but individuals as well, especially in Russia where the oligarchs control the majority of the nation’s wealth

      Sanctioned oligarchs have completely different sanctions than trade sanctions that apply to countries. Apples and oranges.

        False. There are 4 categories of sanctions.

        • Comprehensively sanctioned jurisdiction

        • Targeted sanctions (individuals and entities threatening the peace, stability, and sovereignty, and/or contributing to conflict)

        • Arms embargo

        • Secondary sanction

        United States Government Sanctions
