So no, you can't reply like an adult. Got it.

Can't say I'm surprised, given your history here. Take it easy, I'll see if anyone mature has a response.

indeed.

Do grow up?

I was trying to discuss what you posted. All I got was a rant.

My history?

You hardly have one.

Now, the aid, it has not been "dribbling", has it?

Why is it now stalled?

Simple and genuine questions.

Odd. With all the "Russia Russia Bad" we keep hearing, now all it takes is one incident like this to trigger all these new massive sanctions!!

In other words, Biden Admin doesn't think Russia's behavior BEFORE this, was bad enough??

So all the war damage and killing wasn't enough either??

Confusing 😃

Who's making these "decisions" anyway??

Great question!

Not Biden. His mind is mush...

The US wouldn't care two whits about Navalny if we weren't trying to promote "Russia Bad" and "helping Ukraine is more important than helping Americans."

Everyone has their reasons.

Figuring out what they actually are though is a hairball.

Have sanctions stopped Iran, or Venezuela, or North Korea, or China, or any other nation from pursuing their objectives? No, and they won't stop Russia either.

No, they haven't stopped them.

But they're not intended to stop them. The intention is to wound them, financially & politically.

In other words, the intention is to weaken them. Hopefully severely so that their own citizens begin to tell their gov'ts to knock off the behavior that brought the sanctions or they'll be hell to pay in one form or another.

It's tough to wage a battle when you're bleeding everywhere from wounds inflicted by the enemy and by your own citizens.

Well oh goodness, that will show them....

Or your own government.
