| Russia has already announced retaliatory sanctions against a list of prominent American politicians, who will be forbidden from travelling to Russia. Most have already dismissed the sanctions and some seem thrilled to be included on the list.
Senator Dan Coats tweeted his response: “While I’m disappointed that I won’t be able to go on vacation with my family in Siberia this summer, I am honored to be on this list.”
John Boehner’s spokesman said in a statement that the Speaker of the House was “proud to be included on a list of those willing to stand against Putin’s aggression.”
The Republican John McCain, who has been advocating a tougher stance against Russia said, “I guess this means my spring break in Siberia is off, my Gazprom stock is lost, and my secret bank account in Moscow is frozen. Nonetheless, I will never cease my efforts on behalf of the freedom, independence, and territorial integrity of Ukraine, including Crimea,” Business Insider reported.
