US Treasury: expect new anti-Russian sanctions in the near future

79
The US Treasury promised to introduce new sanctions against the Russian Federation "in the near future," reports RIA News.





We are actively working on these sanctions. You can expect them in the near future,
Finance Minister Stephen Mnuchin said at a Senate hearing.

He stressed that he fully supports the introduction of new restrictions.

I can be responsible for my part of the work - on the imposition of sanctions against oligarchs and government leaders ... This is completely untrue (that the United States will not impose sanctions on Russia and does not take this seriously)
stated Mnuchin.

The minister added that he would discuss this issue in a closed briefing with bankers, where he would provide them with secret information (apparently, the secret part of the “Kremlin report”).

Recall that at the end of January, the Ministry of Finance published the so-called “Kremlin report” - a list of people close to the Russian leadership, who may fall under the new restrictive measures of the United States. The list includes almost all of the Russian leadership and major entrepreneurs - only more than 200 people. The list does not entail immediate sanctions, but implies such a possibility in the future. According to Mnuchin, the sanctions will be the result of a closed part of the report, which contains more than one hundred pages.

            It’s only the poor Russians, as well as the entire basic common people of Russia, who for the time being sanction the amusement, since neither you nor other ordinary Russian citizens have palaces and yachts abroad and your children do not study at foreign colleges. And for the wealthy oligarchs - this is a disaster. They have just now seen that they might be poor!
            As for the impoverished and impoverished Russians, who were robbed and continue to rob the short-sightedly impetuous comprador-oligarchs of our country and their foreign companions, this is not safe for the Russian people either!
            Zbigniew Brzezinski ironically spoke about this for a long time - even when it came to $ 500 mln., Exported by them from the Russian Federation abroad. And now we are talking about $ 3 trillions!
            So ordinary Russians also have nothing to rejoice in sanctions!

                The toad of greed of our oligarchs will still suffocate, because, as the sociologist-psychoanalyst Erich Fromm has correctly stated, the unsubstantiated, covetous acquisitiveness of a particular person is a clear psychic sign of his personal biological degeneration.
                Our oligarchs are psycho-mental degenerates, and the people can’t expect anything good from Russia for them.

                  And the strange expression "our oligarchs." And what are the "European oligarchs" all white and fluffy? They just sleep and see who to give a million to? Do not be mistaken. An example of Ukraine before the eyes. No one is going to flood the country with billions. And, as you say, “your oligarchs” have a task - to survive. And they can only survive by developing their country, making it stronger. They are friends only with the strong, the weak butchered for food.

Recently, I have been comparing the behavior of the leader of little Korea and our authorities, and I feel ashamed of the country. We are constantly stuffing into relatives, either to Ukraine, or to the West as a whole, we affirm all the time. that without us, not a single problem can be solved. It’s as if we don’t understand that they won’t offer us anything good, and they will solve problems without us there and when they need to. We are encouraged, here we will develop the economy, and then ... Only the economy does not develop and it is clear who does not develop it, but everything is old, it is sad.

              Tatyana, you in vain exaggerate. Today, the decisive share of power in Russia is in the hands of the political elite, not the oligarchs, although you can’t get anywhere without them. Brzezinski is just a Russophobe and an instigator. In the event of a global nuclear conflict, the lifestyle of everyone on Earth will change, including for the oligarchs, because it does not matter in whose banks the savings were, as The dollar international system will collapse. According to Brzezinski’s logic, it is probably less worth fearing a nuclear attack by the United States, because US monopoly ruled by oligarchic clans. For the same reason, the United States is trying to develop and implement a strategy of a global non-nuclear strike on Russia, but it does not succeed in blocking a nuclear response, including with the help of the oligarchs. Therefore, they circle around Russia like jackals and spoil sanctions, although by no means a result of what they expected.

            It is unlikely. Sberbank prudently did not voice the outflow for the same period.
            On the contrary, it seems that the authorities and the oligarchs decided to act like a "golden antelope" - to fill up the adversary with money.

    Thank you for keeping us toned. Thanks to this, we do not have a “Washington swamp”.
    But in general. interesting booze went. Previously, sanctions required lengthy coordination between Congress and the US Presidential Administration. Then the congress decided that it would do without coordination. Now the issue of imposing sanctions has descended to the level of a simple ministry. After all, we too can go this way. And the question of counter-sanctions, in the end, will go down to the level of a captain dormant at the red button, whose wife and wife had not worked out in the morning and the son brought a deuce in behavior for peeping at the gym in the locker room for girls.

And our guys in positions that could not wait for the order to destroy then paid in full for landing on Red Square. Entire units disbanded. There was only one conclusion for all - it was necessary to shoot down without asking for orders. If any major had made the decision, then the history of our country could have followed a completely different trajectory. Sometimes the indecision and cowardice of the supreme power is compensated by courage and hussars somewhere down there. You can still recall June 1941.

    It’s not clear to me: the US State Department passed the law “On countering US adversaries”, in which Russia (and several other countries) is called “the enemy”. In Russia, with the tenacity of downs, they continue to call the United States a "partner." So I want to ask "in Lavrovsky": "what are you-dbl?" Still do not want to "quarrel"? As with Germany, before the Second World War: "we do not succumb to provocations"? Or something else?

    Yes, come up with something new. We got it already with their primitive sanctions. Correctly said Zadornov, well, stupid.

      Maybe without imagination. But they did find slack and hammer it there. "Best people" rushing between here and there and do not know where to go. This is the grave of our ancestors here and they will bury us in this land.

    In theory, this is war. But we will be stubbornly told that these are "sanctions."

      Russia will stop the main gas field in Crimea due to trial with Ukraine

      recently suggested that problems would arise there (Odessa deposit is closer to the Odessa region and the midline, so this is a zone of Ukraine, even if we take the Crimea)
      The issue price is 10 billion rubles of gas produced. Plus the high cost of future use of the Crimea Kuban.
      In general, I read the Russian press. On the one hand, a weak position in all respects (from the Crimea to the median line) is all hope that the Russian Federation may not pay attention to the court decision and swing further by force. The Ukrainians there took a completely stubborn position and do not want to amicably solve (the joint venture does not want because this is recognition of the Crimea) - this means an occasion for new hotbeds of conflict. The struggle for resources again. And here on foreign territory.
      I am sure that this may also be the reason for the “New Sanctions”.
      As for the sanctions, they’re having fun. Well, the US is trying. All for the Russian Federation. There is a protectionist policy, there are counter sanctions (this is worse than the first) and there are partners.
      Honestly, the positions of the Russian Federation due to the weakness of the economy and the lack of intelligible policies and allies are weak. And the USA usually together with the EU duplicates everything. And the EU is the largest partner, and trade with the US is growing with the Russian Federation.

        It was necessary to think when they returned to their native harbor ... Now, in principle, it is seen how Donetsk and Lugansk will be strangled (no one will go on the offensive) ...
        Next will be Crimea ... a matter of time ..

    The whole snag in the non-Russian nationality of the Russian oligarchs. They in Russian as a state forming people absolutely do not care!
    Therefore, Brzezinski 1000 times right!

    Tatyana. You are not digging there. The desire to survive is always stronger than other desires. America has clearly shown that all the rest, “non-American oligarchs” are only part of the food chain, and that’s all. Yes. There are those who agreed to be under the American elite. Khodorkovsky is a living example. He hopes that he will not become the next Berezovsky. But there isn’t enough space for everyone. And they will fight not to be "eaten."

      Our ethnically non-Russian oligarchs are not enough for this mind! Their hope that they supposedly "fit" into the global financial elite, our non-Russian oligarchs will die last! Therefore, they are very greedy can be very late with the adoption of real measures for their survival!
      For your survival you need to pay and share with the people, but they are not capable of it!

    This is apparently funny until it specifically touches. So it happened with us. I do transport. 29.01/XNUMX. the company Instar Logistic (my partner) was included in the sanctions list, Allegedly for the transportation of rifles of another Kalashnikov sanctions company. Plus delivery of turbines in Crimea. Transport company, Karl !!! Will they start to list car services soon?
    Total. Salary delayed. Payments for completed flights have risen, and it is not clear when they will pay. Specifically, all my flights were on the territory of Russia, not an authorization, but here, too, there were payments. What to do while I scratch turnips, how to pay with carriers? In general, it’s funny until it touches itself.
    I understand that most do not care. But that’s the calculation of amerikos, which will affect businessmen personally, and they will start to raise a buch ...

    Our anti-sanctions should be in reforming the Americanized Constitution of the Russian Federation, bringing it closer to the Stalinist constitution, in the state’s control of the Central Bank, in expelling from the advisers and heads of all sorts of “curls”, “chubais” and “nabiulins”, in adopting 5-year plans, pressing oligarchs with the threat of nationalization of their property. And much more. Although ... nothing will happen before the World Cup.
