Day 50 is here with absolutely no US actions to sanction or tariffs or in any other way punish Russia. Not even a "bad Vlad".
It is therefore clear that the official Washington policy is:
- Ukraine damaging Russian fuel and rail assets to slow down the Russian invasion of Ukraine (and as a side effect damaging the Russian economy) is VERY VERY BAD as the King would put it. He has made this clear in many ways on Pravda Social and other statements.
- Russia damaging Ukrainian fuel, oil, hospitals and other non-military targets are perfectly acceptable and there is no reason Vlad should not continue doing so.
