Throttling levels are now very severe. And it is good decision.

I expect that fell ban can follow in 1-2 days.

Here, sanctions were imposed against all members of the Russian Security Council. As I write this post, I'm almost in a panic. It's a shame. And what are we going to do now? But for history I want to note the following.

1_ First, about the main thing. These wonderful prohibitions, of course, will not change anything. This is clear even to ignorant people in the State Department. Including the decision to conduct a military operation to protect the Donbass. It will be carried out in full, until all the results that the President of Russia spoke about are achieved. Nothing more and nothing less. As, by the way, it was in a similar situation in 2008.

2_ I believe that it is obvious to all smart people: sanctions are a myth, a fiction, a figure of speech. I am deeply indifferent to these widely advertised restrictions on rights abroad. I can say it more strictly, but I will refrain????. I am a citizen of Russia. And that's it.

Well, sanctions are being taken for an obvious reason. From the political impotence that arose on the basis of the inability to change the course of Russia. And also - in the hope of justifying themselves for shameful decisions, such as a cowardly flight from Afghanistan. In general, our partners in the US and the EU are doing great - nothing consolidates power, management elites and, to a large extent, citizens of our country, like love for Americans and Europeans.

By the way, for reference. Neither I nor my family members had and do not have any foreign accounts or any property abroad.

3_ There is also good news. Sanctions can be an excellent occasion for a final review of all relations with those states that have imposed them. Including to interrupt the dialogue on strategic stability. It is possible, after all, to renounce everything in principle, including the START-3 Treaty, concluded by me with B. Obama and extended by V. V. Putin with the current head of the United States. Why is it now, under such and such conditions, especially signed by sanctioned persons? It comes out somehow awkward. Yes, and diplomatic relations, in principle, are not particularly needed. It's time to close the embassies with barn locks. And contacts continue, examining each other only through binoculars and weapon optics.

4_ Now we are driven from everywhere, punished, frightened, but again we are not afraid (almost like L.N. Tolstoy in a certain situation). The Council of Europe and PACE have now suspended Russia's membership. Wild injustice. Although a good reason to finally slam the door and forget about these meaningless almshouses forever. And they entered something foolishly once. By youth. In addition, this is also a good opportunity to restore a number of important institutions to prevent particularly serious crimes in the country. Like the death penalty for the most dangerous criminals, which, by the way, is actively used in the United States and China.

Exclusion from the OECD is also an insanely scary thing. I don't know what to do now. Although they didn’t want to see us there for almost eight years. And they don't want to again. Well, you won’t be forced to be nice ...

Further on exceptions "from everywhere" in the form of punishment - according to the list. Involuntarily, you will only think about the time spent in these structures in vain.

5_ They also threaten to seize the money of Russian citizens and Russian companies abroad. Just everyone, without any sanctions. Completely. Kind of bad. But this will have to be answered quite symmetrically. The arrest of funds of foreigners and foreign companies in Russia according to the country principle. And maybe - and the nationalization of the property of those persons who are registered in unfriendly jurisdictions. Like the USA, the EU states and a number of singing countries of the Anglo-Saxon world that will take part in this. Fortunately, we have rich experience and we have a law on this topic. Strict.

So the fun is just getting started...

During last days lot of so called "hacked groups" revealed to be part of strong network supported by US government and similar actors.

Now US leads huge DDOS attacks on media sites.
