putin? well, there are way more sanctions that should be implemented. i m part of a working group that published a paper last week. like what. i applaud that european union is discussing the oil piece. we want them to discuss the gas pieces as well. second, declare russia a sponsor of state terrorism. that is giant financial implications for doing business in russia right now we have four countries on that list, north korea, iran, syria, and cuba. i don t understand how cuba could be on that list and russia not. and then individual sanctions. i think we re up to 900 or so entities and individuals that are on the the list. ukrainians have proposed 9,000 people to be on that list. and even the russian opposition leadering alexei navalny have proposed 6,000. and when i hear there is nothing left, i disagree with that. that all said, i don t think
