BBC - Ukraine crisis: What sanctions could West still impose on Russia?

[msongs]

half hearted sanctions while still the worst ever, may or may not have much effect on the ukraine outcome, especially since there is not much action against the oil/gas sector

1. Sanctions...

...mean as much to Putin as they would have to Hitler...

4. They may have actually defeated Hitler

He had no access to oil during the latter part of the war. They had to use a process to turn oil into diesel, which is still not an economically viable process today.
There’s really no way to stop Russia from selling oil on the world market. There will always be someone willing to buy it, although at a heavily discounted cost.

7. Bullocks. Why post rw narrative?

[moniss]

9. Agreed

[KurtSteiner]

12. RW narrative?

It's RW narrative to draw a line in the sand while an independent, sovereign democratic republic is swallowed up by a totalitarian tyrant?

Non-concur.

2. Eiger Sanction for Putin.

3. MANY options: oil embargo, turn off SWIFT from ALL Russian banks

immediately suspend all travel visas for Russians to EU, US, Canada, etc. to all democratic countries. Impose limits on moving euro, US dollar, UK pounds, etc. cash into Russia. Impose embargo on imports into Russia. This is in addition to mass exodus of western companies from Russia which will lead to mass unemployment. And yet none of it can compare to what Ukrainians are experiencing right now.

And yes, pressure Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to withdraw all operations in Russia and with Russia as they would be considered evading sanctions.

The only way to stop putin is impoverish russia for decades.

5. +1, Putrid thinks we've busted our shots at him and there's still more to come. Right now RU ...

... citizens can't go to any country in Europe via flights and RU airliners are bein confiscated for inability to pay.

That alone would scare the shit out of everyone here in the US

Putler can't keep his message sKrait either ... someone has to know what's going on.

6. Pootie is feeling the pressure no doubt

Half hearted sanctions?
The ruble is worth approx a penny
The stock market is closed
Pootie is claiming the savings of all russian citizens
His 650+ billion reserve he built up for this is now frozen
Oligarchs are speaking out against the invasion

Sounds like it’s working to me

[Disaffected]

8. Cut off Russian internet access.

At least to the extent possible. Keep ranking it up.

Pukin' might notice that as well.
