Why do you punish ANYONE except to change their behavior???
Unless one is part of the Marquis de Sade school of geo-politics that is pure Russiaphobia.

"We hate the Russians because they act in their own interests"
Yet we can't deal with Putin because improving relations might improve Russia's as well as the west's ?
I prefer GETTING THINGS DONE, and the American government can't do it under Trump or Obama.
Brain dead partisanship insures it's not going to change..my point
You shouldn't chastise others about grammar either if you don't know the definition of sanction .. which is punishment, penalty, or approval.

Braindead is braindead brother.
Your support and praise of an enemy is just braindead .. no matter what the voices in your head tell you.
AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.
