You can't make this s--t up ...

These Countries Have ‘Disgraced Themselves’ in Blocking Russian Sanctions (yahoo.com)

Some notable quotes:

- Italy has asked that luxury goods so dear to Russian oligarchs be excluded.

- Germany pushed for an exemption on the energy sector before eventually halting Nord Stream 2 certification but on Thursday refused to agree to block Russia from the SWIFT bank payment system.

- Other countries, including Hungary, dug in hard to block the toughest sanctions on the table.

- Another diplomat, speaking to a Politico reporter in Brussels, was even more blunt: “We have to wait until Kyiv is carpet-bombed before we can isolate Putin economically.”

Can you believe this? Let's not sanction Russia because we want to continue selling Fendi bags to their oligarchs ...

Unbelievable. And Brandon is still "leading from his behind" in the midst of all this nonsense.
