LOL this is great:
- Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has warned Russia it will face "severe economic consequences" if it invades Ukraine.
Every six months for the last 10 years, Obama, Trump, or Biden has put "unprecedented" economic sanctions on Russia. But they always sanction economic activity that's non-existent. Like the U.S. banned the U.S. government from buying Russian treasury bonds, something it never did anyway. And the U.S. also banned American companies from buying Russian arms from Rosoboronexport. Which is, of course, the only reason you don't see any T-72 tanks driving around Dubuque.
If Ukraine gets smashed - as it should - expect Liz Truss to ban Russia from selling maple syrup to Canada and tulips to the Netherlands.
