I was joking with Judy Stockman this morning about asking Vladimir Putin for a job, and she freaked out. I hadnt been following the news closely enough, and had missed Executive Order #13660. Apparently if I offered to shine Putins shoes or wax his limousine, the US Government could come after my personal assets. WTF? The United States also will seek to hold accountable individuals who use their resources or influence to support or act on behalf of senior Russian government officials. We recognize that the Russian leadership derives significant support from, and takes action through, individuals who do not themselves serve in any official capacity. Our current focus is to identify these individuals and target their personal assets, but not companies that they may manage on behalf of the Russian state. whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2014/03/17/fact-sheet-ukraine-related-sanctions
