Let's use this as an example.

Surely we 'Americans' can agree that Senior Citizens pensions and deductions ie. Social Security should not be used to finance/back the Ukraine promise of a billion or anything other than SS?

So just dedicate all future SS deductions be used for nothing other than SS payments or the account. In other words put it in not a lock box but in another f'n account.

Must say the Obama promise of 'dire consequences' was swift...

The Obama administration on Monday imposed a new round of sanctions on Russian officials, self-declared leaders in Crimea and others deemed responsible for the unrest and instability in Ukraine.

In an executive order, President Obama named seven Russian officials whose U.S. assets now will be frozen and “may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn or otherwise dealt.” Others, including former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, also have been targeted.

Just imagine the sheer agony of waking up tomorrow morning and all your Russian assets are frozen and can't be transferred. You'd no longer be allowed to conduct transactions using the ruble and countries like China and N. Korea may not take your money either. Would you be able to live with that hanging over your head?

The seven Russian officials — not including President Vladimir Putin or Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev — were targeted based on power in a new executive order signed by the president on Monday morning.

Huh? Professional courtesy? Or is Yelena Mizulina, State Duma deputy, dictating Putin's next move.

While Mr. Obama spoke to Mr. Putin on the phone Sunday night and promised further costs if Russia doesn’t pull back, the Russian president is not among the 11 people named.

Let me guess. No more Disney comps?

Not unless the State Duma Secretary has some tickets she needs to scalp. If so you may have to pay in rubles until further notice. The travesties of war.

What we're doing to the list of eleven is almost inhumane.

Don't worry the freeze of all U.S. assets/transactions will work as soon as they try to access their Netflix and porn accounts.
