I'm hoping they ramp up the sanctions just because I want to see what happens. We're already starting to see some blowback from sanctions:

Apparently London and New York real estate prices are propped up by international criminals. Who could have seen that coming? When I think of London, I think of a city totally not infested with criminal bankers and Russian oligarchs.
It gets even more interesting when you see articles like this.
Newsweek tries to blame Russia for the coming financial meltdown
I guess that makes sense. Why are record high numbers of Americans on food stamps? It's because Putin invented a time machine, he went back in time, and he ran our economy into the ground. It was Putin who manipulated interest rates down to 0 and encouraged American companies to de-capitalize themselves by taking on debt to pay dividends to shareholders. It was putin who encouraged the NSA to destroy American technology companies by forcing foreign governments to ban the use of American products for security reasons (

The fact that Putin owns a time machine is deeply concerning. If he controls our monetary and government policies, think of what else he controls. For all we know, it might have been Putin who gave the fake information to invade Iraq. It might have been Putin who forced Bill Clinton the free trade agreement to ship US manufacturing jobs to Mexico. It might have been Putin who put our entire country on an adjustable rate mortgage by financing government debt with short term bonds instead of 30 year bonds.
Now Putin is using his time machine to crash the London real estate market. Then Putin will use it to crash the stock and high yield credit markets. This guy clearly needs to be stopped, but how do we stop someone who can go back in time?
There is only 1 man who can fix this.
