--- "The Biden administration has repeatedly said it wants banks and businesses to keep the money flowing to nonsanctioned sectors of Russia's economy. But the extent of its conversations with the banks hasn't been previously reported."

It is a thing of beauty that the blunt instruments of sanctions, as they boomerang and splatter, are being finessed, with the news showing itself flatfooted in reporting that "them thar" sanctions are "kind of, sort of" sanctions.

Sounds like the old "liberal world order" has some wiggle room in it, here, there and everywhere.

After all, a real set of sanctions might upset the "ten percent for the big guy" deals, not to mention those sad Pelosis, Kerrys and Romneys who are being so inconvenienced. Please, please, please, "keep the money flowing...."
