I have to admit, it’s funny seeing all the gEnOciDe Joe folks cry “it’s not enough!” every time he does something even slightly on the side of positive.

If he did everything they ever wanted, they’d complain that it didn’t happen soon enough and still help Trump win November.

Because it hurts Russia even slightly and these people weren’t ever for anything except clearing the way of the antidemocratic world order.

Oh man, that’s really gonna show em. There aren’t anymore sanctions they can do. So ban Kaspersky I guess? Putin doesn’t give a crap. He’s got plenty of oil, friends with China.

In 2017, the US government banned Kaspersky on government systems, if that’s what you’re thinking of. This new ban sounds to me like the recent TikTok ban, where it would affect the US population at-large and not just government systems.
