Earlier today, the Russian Foreign Ministry released a statement announcing that the country’s government is officially issuing sanctions against a relatively long list of high-ranking United States officials, as tensions continue to mount between dictatorial President Vladimir Putin, the country of Russia as a whole, and the West, including the US, following the continued invasion and attack against Ukraine by Russian military forces, under Putin’s orders.
Among those added to the Russian “stop list” that bars the individuals from entering the country of Russia, was President Joe Biden himself, as well as these additional notable names: US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley, Biden national security adviser Jake Sullivan, CIA Director William Burns, White House press secretary Jen Psaki, deputy national security adviser Daleep Singh, USAID Director Samantha Power, Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Adewale Adeyemo and US Export-Import Bank President Reta Jo Lewis.
In addition to the government officials listed above, Russia’s sanction list also includes a few high-profile individuals who are not government officials, including President Biden’s son Hunter Biden and former 2016 Democratic presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
But despite the fact that Biden White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki’s name is included on the Russian “stop list,” the fiery Biden official, who’s frankly well-known for her fierceness and her refusal to back down in the face of pretty much anything, seemed to handle Putin’s sanctions about like she does Fox News’ Peter Doocy — which basically means she doesn’t give a damn and is going to lob backhanded insults at the ignorant, floundering Russian dictator if for no other reason than she flat-out can.

During today’s White House press briefing, Psaki was quick to address the sanctions new from this morning and simply had this to say:
President Biden is a junior, so they may have sanctioned his dad. May he rest in peace.
None of us are planning tourist trips to Russia, none of us have bank accounts that we we wont’ be able to access, so we will forge ahead.”

In case that didn’t translate quite right for you, Vlad, that basically means Jen finds you and your sanctions to be a fucking joke.
