The European Union is running out of things they can sanction Russia for.
RT:
European Union debates on new penalties targeting Russia have become more challenging as the bloc has already imposed every possible major sanction on the country and there are “not many things left” to do, President of the European Council Charles Michel said on Monday.
In an interview with Belgian newspaper LeSoir, he said each new package of penalties is now aimed at “tightening loopholes and preventing circumvention attempts,” as all of the main sanctions are already in place.
“The main thing has already been done because we imposed sanctions on fossil fuel… Once you’ve taken the major steps, there aren’t many additional things you can do,” Michel added.
Last month, during a trip to Kiev where he met Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, Michel admitted that negotiations on further sanctions were becoming increasingly complicated with each new round, as additional targets are now scarce.
“Each debate on sanctions is much more difficult than the previous one,” he said.
The sanctions have only made Russia stronger so the fact that they are still debating sanctions shows how stupid and ridiculous these people are. It is like beating your head against a wall to cure a headache and then claiming that your headache didn’t go away because you didn’t hit your head hard enough.
It doesn’t really matter though, they’ve already destroyed themselves economically so even if they find new things to sanction Russia on, it won’t be of much consequence.
