I mean, that’s hardly a confirmation. The US has always used its power like this with its enemies, just ask Iran Cuba or Russia how they’re doing on international trade.
The new development is that all of Europe is now classified as an enemy, yet we’re fully incapable of not sucking on Amazon and MSFT’s teat.
That’s different though, a sovereign country using its power to sanction another sovereign country is one thing.
A country using its power to sanction a single person, not even a citizen, with a position like he has, for his work on a body whose authority is not recognised by the country, and all that through a corporation, at the order of the current administration is definitely another thing. It sounds very new and very dangerous to me.
That’s routine as well. Plenty of Russian oligarchs are personally sanctioned in that way. Not that I’m saying ICC prosecutor and Russian oligarch are remotely comparable targets, but the method isn’t new. The shocking thing is who the US is now targeting.
