af after vladimir putin and also kremlin officials, really kind of some of their personal finances and, you know, mega-sanctions we re talking about. a bill here with teeth. the biggest holdup here seems to be the nord stream 2 pipeline, and if they were to address that, that might undercut the european if allies. you know, this sends natural gas to germany. that s a problem. and there was a meeting here with olaf schultz here in the past few days, and it seems senators are very concerned about cutting off their allies in europe who get the natural gas from this pipeline. you know, even during the cold war west germany got natural gas from the soviet union, so kind of what s the difference here? you know, this is the problem in how they balance that. so, in short, the sanctions bill is stalled out. chuck schumer, the senate majority leader, indicated that he wanted to have a bill done before an invasion to make a deterrence, but that doesn t seem to be the case.
