The United States hit Russia's largest bank, a major arms maker and arctic, deepwater and shale exploration by its biggest oil companies with new sanctions on Friday to punish Moscow for intervening in Ukraine.
The sanctions target companies including Sberbank, the country's largest bank by assets, and Rostec, a conglomerate that makes everything from Kalashnikovs to cars, by limiting their ability to access the U.S. debt markets.

What a mess leading from behind has made!

That means there are at least twice as many Christians in the USA as there are in Russia.
Why do you act as if Russia is Christian but the USA is not?

Still love your screen namesake, Joe, a great guy.
Is Russia’s policy of murdering it’s Christian neighbors a Christian policy?
Sanctions only help Russia, da comrade?
Natural Economic Law proves that economic sanctions always backfire, Ya, Obergruppenführer?
