Check the listed names, especially this one: Yelena Mizulina.

It is getting more ridiculous day by day.

Wow. We just put sanctions on Russia. This is going to get interesting. We have not done this since Reagan.

Yelena Mizulina is a Russian politician serving as a member of the Russian Parliament between 1995 and 2003 and again since 2007. Since 2012, she has been the center of attention in regard to a set of controversial laws concerning the rights of the LGBT community in Russia and the adoption of Russian orphan children by foreigners. She is currently Chairman of the Duma Committee on Family, Women and Children Affairs. She has changed her political affiliation several times, having served public office on behalf of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the liberal Yabloko and Union of Right Forces parties and is currently representing the region of Omsk in the Duma as a representative of the social democratic A Just Russia party.

He’ll do the blame game again like he ALWAYS does. Find something or someone to criticize instead of doing anything meaningful. That’s how he operates.

They did not laugh at President Reagan when he did this.

“Take a drink for every time he mentions a red line.”

Every time I see him even if it’s a brief moment (because of being a little slow with the power off button on my remote) he tends to bring things up with me.

The commie is not allowed in my house PERIOD!

Russia violates international law. There are consequences for their actions. Extended sanctions. Further sanctions possible. Sanctions against Russian leaders.

Our message will be clear.

This will deepen Russia’s isolation.

[shhhhhhh! Putin’s laughing so loud I can hear him through the Internet.]

My wife hates it when the news on TV mentions obama because it causes a string of cuss words to flow from me!

Yes, and we all noted how deeply involved she has been in the Russian invasion in Ukraine and the illegal referendum in Crimea. (/s as if necessary)

She has non-PC views on family and sexual mores - is that really a reason to blacklist her?

Notice that King O is sanctioning specific Russians but not Putin himself. What a wuss!

President Reagan was a force to be reckoned with. Obama is not. The Soviet Union feared the US. Today, Russia realizes the US is a paper tiger and Obama is a dumba$$.

Did he just say he’s issuing an Executive Order?

Does that mean he’ll use his pen and phone against Putin?

President Barack Obama today imposed sanctions on seven top Russian government officials and added four others from Ukraine, including the former president, who the U.S. says threaten peace and security.

The seven officials, which include top aides or advisers to Russian President Vladimir Putin, are Vladislav Surkov, Sergey Glazyev, Leonid Slutsky, Andrei Klishas, Valentina Matviyenko, Dmitry Rogozin, and Yelena Mizulina.

“Today’s actions send a strong message to the Russian government that there are consequences for their actions that violate the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, including their actions supporting the illegal referendum for Crimean separation,” the White House said in a statement.

What happens if Putin does the same?

omg...what an idiot. The more he speaks and takes no military back up action for the Ukraine, the weaker he looks.
