Q. Should there be humanitarian exceptions to the sanctions?

[No War, but the War on Christmas]

I believe the West should announce clear humanitarian exceptions to the sanctions. As it is, regular Russian people are being forced into near starvation, homelessness and poverty due to a government which has lied to them, imprisoned those who dared to dissent, and brutally suppresses all opposition.

Biden should come out and publicly announce that sanctions are targeted at those who have caused this humanitarian tragedy; Putin & Co., and that the American people and the Western world want nothing more than mutual understanding, peace and increasing cooperation with people all around the world, including Russians. Expose Putin for the egotistical maniac he is, play the long-game and win the hearts and minds of the next generation of Russians who will lead a fundamentally different country.
