White House announces over 500 sanctions on Russia

US President Joe Biden has announced at least 500 sanctions on Russia.

The move is in retaliation for the suspicious death of Alexei Navalny.

Mr Navalny had remained a Vladimir Putin critic despite imprisonment for his resistance.

Mr Biden met the wife and daughter of the deceased Mr Navalny.

Meanwhile, the Opposition Leader's mother was finally allowed access to his body.

Tucker Carlson said that no one in Russia is afraid of sanctions. Shops and supermarkets are full of different goods. These sanctions look like hysteria and despair.

[DarrylHart]

Oh no I'm sure Putin is quaking in his boots 🙄

[oitouxk]

US should stay out of business which does not concern them.

Meanwhile affordability in Russia is amazing, full cart of groceries for the entire month for a hundred bucks, rent only at 200 bucks downtown Moscow, you make around $1, 200 to 1600 bucks at the lower end range per month, people are able to save over a thousand bucks a month.

Yet here in the western side of things like canada, rent is $2, 000 a month and with minimum wage you make only $1, 500 bucks a month. It's around 400 bucks for an entire month's worth of groceries, bills are sky high, auto insurance rates are sky high, taxes are going up even more, houses are completely unaffordable as $150, 000 home is now worth $800, 000 and the average home in Southern Ontario is between 800, 000 to 2 million dollars.

We sit here thinking that we are the crown of society yet we are in a crisis, thinking that sanctions are going to hurt Russia but all it does is push Russia away from the American dollar and now china, russia, and a few others are using bricks, a system that does not even bother with the American dollar and they are pulling more people in. This is going to absolutely crush the United States.

But hey, sanctions yay, billions of dollars to Ukraine yay, I think zelinsky owns two yachts now? I think the military industrial complex that receives almost all of this money to be able to send weapons over there or just laughing while they chill in that Lake of money.

The Western world is on a down slope, it's going to crash hard, and in the end China and Russia are going to be laughing.

[hayleyfay]

❤Russia will survive .... they have had sanctions for 100 years and Russia is still a power house❤

[englishstark]

There were 600 but Joe lost count at 500

[tomnassar]

Biden: we are not buying anymore nested dolls

[andrewwhite]

The White House may announced the sanctions... exactly how?
I doubt many would sit in the press gallery and have to listen to all 500, and without any questions being allowed.
And old Joe if asked, may only have a partial memory of one.

Seriously sanctioning Russia is a waste of time. And time is rapidly running out for Ukraine and hopefully NATO.

[berlintanker]

Gee, 500? .What a nice round number...
What a crock of BS!

[vasiliossmith]

Really Russia actually benefits from America so called sanctions 😂

When Joe hugged her it was because he thought it was Jill.

[whitemale]

You wouldn't give this man you're car keys. Why let him remain in place to continuously embarrass the America.

[FutureJ]

They really going to stop the snickers deliveries now?

[dwtallone]

Though I absolutely do not support the Russian Government, I do agree, unless it's affecting the United States personally, it is none of our business.
Our Country is a Freaking Mess, we have no business telling other countries what to do.

[alordswatchman]

But still buying Russian oil through India and other third party countries.

So Joe watch the Tucker Carlson Grocery Shopping in Russia!
