Western Sanctions On Russia Are 'Shot Across The Bow'
Russian officials were quick to mock the limited economic sanctions on Moscow announced by the U.S. and Europe this week. In response to Russia's annexation of Crimea, Western leaders have frozen the assets of a handful of government officials and also barred them from getting visas to travel to the West.
"So what if I can't get a visa to the United States?" one Russian official said. "I didn't want to go there anyway." And as for having their assets frozen, Moscow has already barred government officials from having money invested overseas, says William Pomerantz of the Woodrow Wilson Center.
