US Senate actually has the votes for Lindsey Graham's brutal new sanctions
It looks like some folks in Washington finally remembered they have a pen and a checklist of things they can ban. Lindsey Graham's massive new sanctions bill is apparently cruising through the Senate with enough votes to pass.
Remember when we were told all the "massive" sanctions had already been deployed? Well, apparently, there is still some room to squeeze. Senator Lindsey Graham drafted a new bill to seriously turn up the economic heat, and surprise, surprise—the US Senate actually has enough votes to pass it.
Usually, getting US politicians to agree on anything more complicated than lunch is a miracle. But when it comes to making life harder for Russia, the consensus is suddenly there. They are not just tweaking old rules; they are aiming for a massive upgrade to the existing pressure.
Now we just have to wait and see if these sanctions actually have teeth, or if they are just another beautifully formatted PDF document.
