US and Russia's diplomatic spat: Carving out an uncertain path - BBC News
This editorial opinion in BBC News points to a Russian miscalculation on how its involvement in the U.S. elections would be seen in the U.S. Congress. The U.S. Congress voted for stronger sanctions on Russia with only 5 members in the Senate and the House of Representatives voting against sanctions- an overwhelming vote in favor of sanctions. This means future policy on Russia will be determined by the U.S. Congress, and with bipartisan support for such policies. President Trump reluctantly signed the bill, saying it took away from executive authority. Russia had hoped its efforts in favor of Trump would lead to an easing of sanctions, not grasping the role of Republicans in Congress who see interference in the democratic process in the U.S. in the same way as Democrats.

U.S. sanctions on Russia following the Russian occupation of the Crimea and fears of occupation of eastern Ukraine
04/02/2009
The planned sanctions at the early stages of the crisis are for Russian officials and groups taking part in the takeover of the Crimea and threat to eastern Ukraine, and not on the Russian economy. Russian intervention in the Russian speaking eastern Ukraine would lead to the U.S. pushing its case with the EU and Germany for broader sanctions. If a standoff occurs as happened by an earlier Russian intervention in Georgia to support a Russian speaking region, these limited personal sanctions would remain in place.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
