7. Yes they are - acting like the right

And the reality is this is very 'real' to them. It is not just for show.

So this morning the Treasury Department sends out their updates to the Sanctions Programs and the SDNList with the additions as a result of the Ukraine sitchy.

There are basically ten NEW people we now have to screen against (lots of akas and interpretations - example Yelena vs. Helena vs. Elena) in Finance and Telecom. I would also say anyone engaged in any international transactions or shipping/mailing to any of these people from the US will be flagged.

When you get on the SDN be it for Burma, Iran, FSE-IR, SDNTK, etc. etc. or now Ukraine - the real impact is on Americans who may wish to engage with you.

So they (those added to the list) can be snarky - they can be defiant - they can even post pics of President Obama as a Comrade/Commie - but at the end of the day I'm going to comply as will everyone else engaged in commerce in the US that wishes to keep their paycheck.

I'm just shocked that it took from Thursday March 6th until today to list actual names.

And I'm shocked that one of the men on the list would behave this way. Are we sure Sarah Palin didn't take over this guy's account/hack it and post it? Because it reeks of something Sister Sarah Alaskastan would pull. Not joking - I'm deadly serious. Are we certain it's not someone from the Kiddie Pool on the right in America trying to make problems? They specialize in childish snotty snark.
