It really is. If the people are Russian agents, then we're never going to lay our hands on them.......Russia has already insulated them individually from anything we can do from our end........and, frankly, sanctions are sort of LOL given that the moment you go down that road, then you're in open sanction war since we ALL do it!

If all you can do is symbolic bull shite, then yeah, you do nothing because frankly, symbolic bull shite is ALSO nothing.
