It's important to note that motions for sanctions against counsel who break the rules is a well accepted if rare procedure. It is also something decided by the judge, not DOJ. I have filed several such motions in my cases where the opposing law crosses the line. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

Tariffs hurt Switzerland because the higher prices US consumers pay will reduce the number of products purchased. If a swiss watch doubles in price due to tariffs, buyers of those watches are hurt. At the same time many consumers will forego the swiss watch and buy a Seiko, hurting Switzerland.

Sadly, the Russians are correct that Trump will back off on his threatened sanctions. They would be effective but would also damage the US economy. Thus, Trump is desperate for Putin to offer some fake concessions so he can declare victory and move on.
