15\ We do know that the price cap and sanctioning shadow fleet tankers hurt Russia's income. They work.
I looked through OFAC and it seems Republicans completely stopped new shadow fleet sanctions as soon as they could.
They could easily hurt Russia's war, but they choose not to. Why not?

"Indeed, [Senator] Bernie Moreno’s threat came true; my wife, my children, and I have been added to the OFAC list,” Petro wrote, announcing that American lawyer Dan Kovalik would be his defense lawyer.
The Colombian President further condemned the decision as a "complete paradox," saying, "Fighting drug trafficking for decades, and doing so effectively, has now brought upon me this measure from the very government and society we helped so much to curb their cocaine consumption. Quite a paradox, but not one step back, never on my knees."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7mzhepjvz65dzfuapfusodxg/bafkreicymb3ang43id5gifjwgf4ycnco5dclmdopjdd6otvtftfhokkaai@jpeg)
