[quote=Anonymous]I am agnostic re Louise Mensch. I found the Senate testimony last week of Vladimir Kara-Murza, a Russian journalist and dissident who has survived two poisoning attempts by the Putin regime, to be quite compelling. His point---which does not receive nearly enough airtime in the US--is that the Magnitzky sanctions put in place by the US in 2012 are effective and highly threatening to the Putin regime because they target the individual fortunes of the oligarchs. Kara-Murza opined that unlike the Politboro under Soviet communism, the 21st century Russian oligarchs devote a lot of effort to squirreling funds away in Western countries. The Magnitzsky sanctions, if I am understanding correctly, permit the US to ban named individuals from doing business with US businesses and financial institutions. That's a pretty powerful motivator for Russia to try to manipulate our presidential election. [/quote]
