Joe Biden seems to have found his stride, and realize that American voters and Congress want tougher stance against Russia's military attack on Ukraine. It must be like a chinese water torture to Putin, with the drip-drip-drip of new sanctions announced everyday to tighten the screw on Russia's economy. Today, not only does Biden announce revoking the Most Favored Nation status of Russia, but there'll also be a ban on Russia's diamond, vodka, and seafood into US. Although the latter ban only amounts to $1B in import to US, and these are hardly essential goods to US, no doubt every billion of export revenue counts for Russia since half of its currency reserve (some $625B) is now frozen by the West.
Russia's fake news propaganda can no longer contain or dilute the narrative to fool the world. As idiotic and clueless as he might be, even Trump is backing off his "genius" rhetorical support for Putin. Social media is also catching on, more readily banning or taking down fake news tweets and posts, and even encouraging the counter-narrative against Russia, so much so that Russia has labeled Facebook a terrorist organization.
Meanwhile, the siege goes on. Let's hope the belt-tightening in Russia will turn the public opposition against Putin within its borders, to the point of weakening this horrid person.
