The U.S. has issued visa sanctions against several Russian tycoons in protest of the Russian takeover in Crimea, meaning the tycoons will be prohibited from visits to the U.S.

In retaliation, Russia announced sanctions against several U.S. senators. I like Senator John McCain’s response the best:

“I guess this means my spring break in Siberia is off, my Gazprom stock is lost, and my secret bank account in Moscow is frozen.”

Sometimes humor is the best weapon.
