A blank space on today’s WSJ A1 where Evan Gershkovich’s reporting should be, one year after his arrest on patently false charges. Russia should free him now

Big Russia sanctions list out. Broad but not as impactful as run-up rhetoric suggested. Lots of Russian companies in lots of relevant industrial sectors; some smaller Russian banks & the Russian payment card system; and some evasion targets (China, Serbia, UAE, others). @ACGeoEcon @brianoftoole 1/2

When the Iran-KSA deal was announced, there were some reports that China had allowed Iran access to some of its FX reserves frozen in Chinese banks.
That would be a heck of an incentive, and a major US sanctions violation. But it doesn't seem to be correct, so far as I can tell.

Sanctions on Russia are only about 70 percent of the scale of those imposed on Iran or North Korea, write @brianoftoole and @AmbDanFried.
There is plenty of room to increase the pain inflicted on Russia’s economy, they argue. Read more: atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ne…

The Russian economy has begun to look like a leaky ship, explain @brianoftoole and @AmbDanFried.
“All hands are on deck bailing it out, but at some point, they won’t be able to keep up.”

As various cable stations cover the 9 year sentence for WNBA star Brittney Griner in Russia, I cant help think more context is necessary. This isnt a real court with a real sentence, this is just the Russian government deciding what provides them with the most leverage

Let’s be clear: “Rootless cosmopolitan” is a Soviet Communist term that means Jews and also others of liberal inclination. Stalinists used it. And Tucker Carlson’s guest.

I've decided to make NFTs of all my tanks so that when Ukraine destroys the real tank, I still have a tank and nothing has changed & my invasion can continue.
I remain a master strategist.
