Russia has some nerve using nerve agents on agents. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-poison-skripal-usa/u-s-says-russia-behind-nerve-attack-in-uk-to-impose-sanctions-idUSKBN1KT2FC Also, finally there will be some sanctions on Russia! Because there weren't already sanctions!! And sanctions work so well!!! I'm being sarcastic!!!!!!
If sanctions didn’t have an effect then Russia wouldn’t be trying to influence an election in order to elect a guy who would lift the sanctions. Hypothetically speaking, of course.
