But you can't say they don't have a sense of humor:
Another Russian on the sanctions list, Vladislav Surkov, also seemed unconcerned.Surkov, a top Putin ideologue often called the Kremlin’s grey cardinal, reportedly told a Russian newspaper, “It’s a big honor for me. I don’t have accounts abroad. The only things that interest me in the U.S. are Tupac Shakur, Allen Ginsberg, and Jackson Pollock. I don’t need a visa to access their work. I lose nothing.”
Granted, our "sanctions" were going to be mostly for optics, but imposing any at all on the Russians is just insulting. Not to excuse what Pooty-Poot intends to do with Crimea, but he's not doing anything there that we haven't done many, many times to many of our neighbors: Mexico (more than once), Cuba (more than once) Haiti (more than once), Nicaragua (more than once), the Dominican, Grenada, Panama . . . and I'm only mentioning the direct military interventions, not the proxy wars or the CIA ops. We really need to wake up, stop acting so belligerently, and realize that our shit stinks just as bad as everyone else's on the planet.
