A great Christmas gift from the US government: the US sanctions against Russia are expanded. Please remember that “sanctions against Russia” means “sanctions against Putin’s oligarch buddies that make it harder for them to engage in criminal activities.”
A Christmas Gift from the US

Christmas gift from Russia.
“Leaders Number One”, a perfume inspired by Putin, went on sale in Moscow on Thursday, just in time for Russians to pick them up as presents ahead of New Year’s Eve, the major festive occasion here.
The perfume costs around 6,000 roubles (£57) for a 100ml bottle. It comes in a sleek black bottle featuring a profile of the Russian president’s head and the words “Inspired by Vladimir Putin” in English.
“It’s a warm scent, a textured scent. It’s soft but at the same time it’s very firm,” said Vladislav Rekunov, the Belarus-born perfumer who came up with the scent.

This is definitely the news item of the week. I can just imagine women giving the perfume to their husbands and saying, “Want sex? Put this on, then, or I won’t be able to perform.”
