    When we moved to Xenfora some of the signature options didn't come over. In the old software signatures were limited by a character limit, on Xenfora there are more options and there is a character number and number of lines limit. I've set maximum number of lines to 4 and unlimited characters.

The impact of economic sanctions on Russia and Belarus

Sanctions against individuals, ie. Putin and other senior Russian officials along with the oligarchs? Fine, don't have a problem with it.

Sanctions against an entire country? Counterproductive reaction that inevitably hurts ordinary people far worse than the people responsible for the actions the sanctions were designed to punish.

Putin isn’t invading Ukraine, Russia is invading Ukraine.

Sanctions against Putin and the oligarchs are not limiting Russia's ability to spend on weapons and supplies to wage that war.

Got it nothing wrong with supplying Russia with more weapons to use in Ukraine as long as we target some individuals for sanctions we are morally obligated to provide them with the tool for war.
 
Looks like Russia's revenues from energy sales are up, not down:

Weren't there supposed to be sanctions?

I am guessing that would be for the last quarter or so? Now that the EU Commission has issued an edict that payments to Russia must be in Euros and the countries following this are gradually being cut off from Russian gas we probably won't see the true effect until the next payments become due.
