In a surprise announcement, the U.S. Treasury and State departments imposed sanctions on five Turkish corporations as well as one Turkish national on Thursday for allegedly helping Russia to evade sanctions over its war against Ukraine. The Biden administration accused these shipping companies of repairing vessels connected to Russia’s defense ministry and transporting Russian goods that have military applications, such as drones and sensors.
The sanctions are part of a larger campaign announced on Thursday intended to debilitate Moscow’s economy, energy, and military sectors. More than 150 targets—including Russia’s largest carmaker as well as companies in Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and Georgia—are among the sanctioned entities.

A NATO divided against itself cannot stand.
big mistake.
Our regime is stupid and very dangerous to our welfare.
Whoever controls our government is destroying us with blatantly stupid actions.
Drive Turkey into BRICS and give the other side control of the straights. Sounds like strategery to me.
well, the headline is lying - these are sanctions on Turkish companies, not on Turkey itself
If you sanction everyone you’re really just sanctioning yourself

Yes, my first thought also.
The gaystapo globohomos are making friends all over the place.

There you are, Biden's greatest defender. You must love him because he reminds you of Władysław Gomułka, a good communist.
The only thing this sanction strategy does is make us the bully on the world scene.
Well, the previous sanctions laid upon Russia and Russians have crippled our economy. What will these do??
Remind me, again, exactly who is running policy in the WH?
Idiots or maybe youtube influencers?
Seeing Syria collapse (again), and knowing the amount and kind of refugees, the control of the entire area, plus control of the straits must be as simply dismissed as Biden’s ice cream cones.
This is not stupidity. This is the deliberate destruction of our influence anywhere in the world.
I’m not really enjoying the slow motion beginnings of WWIII.
I also get the feeling that much of history written is a lie.
Mistakes weren’t made which led to war. Human trash lied and directed people into needless war. Just to acquire wealth, they cared not if millions died.
Next verse, same as the first.
