    The US is imposing new sanctions on 22 Russian "defense-related entities," Secretary of State Blinken says

    From CNN's Michael Conte

    US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced a new round of sanctions on Russia, targeting 22 Russian “defense-related entities” as Russia pushes forward with its invasion of Ukraine.

    The entities that will be sanctioned include “companies that make combat aircraft, infantry fighting vehicles, missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, electronic warfare systems,” Blinken said at a news conference at the State Department, “the very systems now being used to assault the Ukrainian people, abuse human rights, violate international humanitarian law.”

    Blinken also announced export controls on Belarus “to hold the Lukashenko regime accountable for being a co-belligerent in President Putin’s war of choice.”

    “We will choke off Belarus’s ability to import key technologies,” said Blinken. “And if Lukashenko’s support for the war continues, the consequences for his regime will escalate.”​

    Where did you see pundits under my links? Crying boy-soldier? Charred corpses?

    You should know your check is going to bounce soon. Your ruble won't be worth the paper it's printed on in a month.

    when Iran's president visited Moscow last month, many in Iran were puzzled by the distance Putin kept in his meeting with Raisi. It was quite the contrast from pictures of him meeting Iran's Supreme Leader few years earlier in Tehran.

    while this picture is obviously from an angle to exaggerate the distance, the long table still looked disrespectful.

    especially since Iran's Supreme Leader had given Putin a far more cozier meeting.

    Maybe Vlad the Mad really has become very paranoid of late. Sure is strange.

    I've wondered about that often, "5,000 people killed in Rwanda revolution" or other countries, and not one word from the US government.
    They seem to be choosy on who they stand up for, but I also am not privy to all the information.

    Pffft. Russia can't even afford to get its own rural population out of the Medieval age.

    Spouting mindless nonsense in desperate attempt to avoid and deny reality - cause it doesn't jive with "necessary illusion" bubble - is not the path to enlightenment mate ... and your not getting it .. Russia doesn't pay to do the rebuilding -- they get paid. Not going to see US contractors on the Job site .. Russia-China will be doing the work..

    If Iraq was stupid, then this is. It's the same thing. People want us to kick a dictator out for a brutal invasion, but not really remove that dictator, but spend money and effort containing him indefinitely.

    Well, of course, getting rid of Putin isn't so easy when he has ICBMs.

    I think it is clear that taking out Saddam was the right move. The world wants us to be the world's police, and basically enforce a restraining order between Ukraine and Russia, kind of like they did between Iraq and Kuwait. And when we are tired of restraining, just like with Saddam, they will call it unjust when we finally make a move to arrest him.

    US delivered hundreds of Stinger anti-aircraft missiles to Ukraine this week, sources say

    From CNN's Kylie Atwood and Zachary Cohen

    The US has delivered hundreds of Stinger anti-aircraft missiles to Ukraine for the first time over the last few days, including over 200 on Monday, according to a US official and a congressional source briefed on the matter.

    Earlier this year the US gave the green light to Baltic countries including Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia to send American-made weaponry that they have to Ukraine, including stingers. But until now the Biden administration had held off on the US providing the Stingers directly to Ukraine, while they have provided other lethal weaponry.

    Some members of Congress have been pushing for additional stinger missiles to be sent to Ukraine for months. The Ukrainians have repeatedly made pleas more weaponry from the US, including anti-aircraft and anti-tank weapons.

    US Secretary of State Tony Blinken told reporters on Wednesday that at this time Ukraine is still able to receive “vital defensive military equipment” that it needs.

    More background: There are different generations of stingers that the US produces and US officials have been cognizant of not providing the newest model to the Ukrainians in case they fall into the hands of the Russians who could steal the US technology.

    Earlier this week German announced that they would deliver 1,000 antitank weapons and 500 stinger missiles to Ukraine, marking a change in its previous stance of not sending weaponry to Ukraine amid this crisis.

    NBC News was first to report on the delivery of US stingers to Ukraine.​
