    This is entirely performative. You don’t threaten to sanction banks and give investors time to pull their money, and it’s not like Russia cares about investing in our rapidly declining market anyway.

    If Trump was ‘so concerned’ about Russia’s attacks on Ukraine, he’d reinstate intelligence.
