New Aussie powers to seize property and deny the travel plans of international baddies could be deployed against Russians who are making trouble with Ukraine. Foreign Minister Marise Payne might impose “Magnitsky” sanctions against senior Russian officials, which would be the first time they’ve been used since becoming law in December last year. Fears of a Russian invasion of Ukraine are running high with 127,000 of its troops massed on the border. Taking it a step further, US President Joe Biden said he’d consider sanctions against Russian President Vladimir Putin if an invasion occurs, which he said could amount to the “largest invasion since World War II.” If sanctions were placed on Putin, it would put him in the same class as Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi as far as the US is concerned. The Kremlin responded by saying that any sanctions levied against Putin personally wouldn’t affect Russia’s course of action on Ukraine.
