US sanctions more Russian elites, targeting yachts and aircraft

1. Everything helps, but don't stop here.

Sanctions are not changing Putin’s mind because he is deranged by power. It’s past time to fully cut every Russian bank and financial institution off the global banking system. They’ll limp along with Chinese help, but that would hurt the oligarchs around Putin more as well as the major industries that rely on global banking to collect payments from gas and other exports.

Maximum sanctions might have an impact on those around Putin who see the damage to the Russian economy. We can hope that they eventually take action to remove Putin, either dead or alive but preferably dead.
