We're so f*cked

Seriously you guys are f**k clueless. Who should we be sanctioning Kane? Who is not on a sanctions list already? Should we sanction every billionaire in russia simply for having a billion dollars and being russian? Should we sanction random countries or companies that buy russian arms, like Brazil, India, Indonesia or basically every other strategically relevant country on earth? Should we ban financial institutions from buying or holding russian bonds (a blatant act of economic warfare)? We have sanctioned the shit out of russia already, we tanked their economy and surprise they managed to get the f**k over it and are now less dependent on us that ever. This is a tool you must use sparingly because otherwise people rightfully see it for what it is - an abuse of our position at the economic and financial center of the world economy. Absuing that position only encourages others that the system we currently have may not be suitable for their interest. This is ESPECIALLY if we are dumb enough to sanction third parties for buying russian weapons, as the bill suggests.

Whelp, looks like all hell might break loose if the memo is released:

In short - the New head of the FBI may resign if the Memo is released. Trump's saying the memo will show Mueller can't be trusted, the FBI association just issued support for Wray, and Republican John Thune of the Senate just told the House they need to see it first.

Schiff has accused Nunes of changing the document before showing it to Trump:
