The sanctions had been looming for a while under Obama's Administration.
They are over ballistic missiles and using front groups.
They are limit access to banking for a few individuals/groups.
Glad I waited to inform myself before spouting off knee-jerk attacks on a candidate.

Hillary's rhetoric just makes it worse.
