    President Joe Biden on Tuesday issued an executive order aimed at repatriating American hostages and other U.S. citizens wrongfully detained abroad.


    The action allows federal agencies to impose consequences — such as financial sanctions — on parties involved in hostage-taking or wrongful detentions; authorizes parts of the U.S. government to share relevant information with families regarding the individuals’ status and U.S. efforts to secure their release or return; and taps experts to develop strategies to deter future hostage-taking and wrongful detentions.

    So did he just authorize unelected "federal agencies" to set foreign policy rather than Congress??

    Surprised?

    Gotta do something to make the woke crowd feel like he's done "something" to help that poor, underprivileged, mistreated girl who hates this country because it's allowed her to earn $227,000 a year playing a game. Like most other "heartfelt" issues that pop up, once he's done this (which is most likely completely meaningless and written in crayon) they'll all pat themselves on the back, reassure each other that they're they greatest people on earth and proceed to forget all about her.

    Sanctions, huh? :rolleyes:
    Seems the US Treasury is the blunt hammer they wanted to free up.

    (Reuters) -The United States will impose harsh consequences on countries that break the international economic order, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Tuesday.


    "Economic integration has been weaponised by Russia(pot meet kettle)," she said, calling for all responsible countries to unite in opposition to Russia's war in Ukraine.


    The United States is pushing for increased trade ties with South Korea and other trusted allies to improve the resilience of supply chains, and avert possible manipulation by geopolitical rivals, Yellen told Reuters on Monday.

    If you do not trade oil and everything in US dollars using the SWIFT system you are breaking the international economic order!

    And in the meantime more than half the world's population is happily buying Russian oil at a discount.

    Sanctions are just geopolitical Twitter bans.

    She is saying they are going to target the buyers. You know so we can create new enemies.

    We came close to sanctioning India yesterday over the import of weapons from Russia. The house voted to give them a waiver,so that is likely the origin of why the executive order was issued. If they can not get it done with congress,this administration will use the treasury apparently(and ignore the constitution in the process).

    If you take out the EU,Canada,USA,Great Britain,Ukraine,South Korea,and Japan the number of countries sanctioning Russia is zero. Less have sanctions than do by far.

    Yeah, but the sanctions are to be used “on parties involved in hostage-taking or wrongful detentions”, and that basketball player does NOT FIT into either of those categories. She broke Russian law by entering the country with illegal drugs and was arrested for it. Just the same as if you go to Colorado on vacation and buy drugs and then fly into the Indianapolis airport. You would be arrested if caught.

    That is exactly what he did.
    Apparently he is not done yet either.
    I have a feeling Wednesday he is going to try to hammer at the Supreme Court.

    He and his handlers won't be happy until gasoline is $10.00 per gallon and nobody can afford to drive. Then he will scratch his...head wondering why food prices skyrocketed again.
