Thank you for showing US how Neocons now want sanctions on top of sanctions, directed at people and economies of secondary countries completely involved with this war. Sounds insane
“(Putin) has already decimated his military, ruined his economy, and made Russia a pariah state worldwide”
…and inflicted unspeakable crimes upon innocent civilians in Ukraine, Georgia, Chechnya, Syria and Russia.
The Bone-Crushing Sanctions (secondary sanctions on buyers of Russian oil) are needed. Like Iran, we see what Russia does when they have money.
Putin is why they can’t have nice things. He is the Doom of Russia.

Well no so “bone crushing” after all:
Russia’s richest people raked in record dividends last year
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4326959/posts
excerpt:
“Russia’s richest people received record dividends in 2024, according to Forbes Russia.
“The top earner was Alexei Mordashov, who received 201.8 billion rubles in dividends from Severstal.
“Russia’s richest people collected record-high dividends in 2024, even as the country’s economy showed clear signs of slowing, according to Forbes Russia on Thursday.
“Total dividend payouts to the 50 wealthiest Russians reached a record 1.769 trillion rubles, or $22.3 billion, according to the publication. That’s a sharp increase from each of the previous two years, when less than 1.4 trillion rubles were distributed.”
The fact that Putin followed his most recent chat with Trump with his most massive attacks on Ukraine’s civilian centers demands a response from Trump. No response will not improve or even maintain his MAGA image. On the other hand, Putin has given Trump the perfect cover for the sanctions against the secondary buyers of Russian oil. All Trump needs to do is emphasize the comparison of Putin’s repeated massive attacks against civilian centers, versus Ukraine’s concentration on military/industrial sites rather than the Russian people. The only attack on the Russian people is the man/dictator who has now sent 1,025,000 of his subjects to death and physical ruin. Hail to their King, NOT!
