London’s Evening Standard splashed on Friday evening with a story claiming Britain leaving the European Union — Brexit — would cost the city 100,000 banking jobs, but the UK Independence Party (UKIP) leader has rubbished the idea. Speaking to Breitbart London , Nigel Farage compared the claim to previous scare stories that predicted the end of Britain’s lucrative financial industry if the country didn’t obediently fall into line with the European Union’s latest trends. Mr. Farage said: “these are the same people who bankrupt Britain and said they would all leave the country if we didn’t join the Euro. Guess what – they’re still here”.

Since 2012, Russia has become subject of ever more Western sanctions. Some have been unilateral U.S. sanctions, while Western allies have joined in others. Currently, the United States has about 15 different sanctions programs for Russia, and several others have been proposed. Sensibly, the Biden administration has called for a review of U.S. Russia sanctions. Sanctions should be effective. They should deter, punish and hopefully reverse bad behavior.
