Yesterday President Biden announced extensive economic sanctions
against firms and individuals in Russia and in countries trading with
them. The cited reason was Alexei Navalny’s death in prison. As of
yesterday 29,708 persons have been killed in Gaza with munitions
supplied by the United States and the United States has repeatedly
vetoed calls by the vast majority of UN members for a cease-fire in
Gaza.
Stalin once remarked that a single death is a tragedy; the
death of a million is a statistic. Apparently, President Biden shares
that view.
