    I disagree with your assessments - Russia is experiencing negative impact on a national level (they just grew NATO!) and on the personal level. Sanctions could be working better but are still effective, nonviolent methods to effect change. Add other measures to them, sure, but don’t take them away as some sanctions (including older legislation like the Magnitsky act) target the exact people being dicks.

      That’s not my assessment. Russia is doing ok, that’s just a fact.
