What a joke.

Honestly though these are not necessities. If Russian oligarchs want to spend a thousand dollars on a pair of sandals. (meh) Their money is going to be worthless pretty soon anyways. 

 

I thought it was the reverse. That Italians can buy Russian Luxury goods. That I would be angry at.

The point is to make it difficult, expensive, and inconvenient so that those subjected to sanctions became frustrated with their government and turn against the war effort.

These sanctions are an absolute embarrassment and only emboldens Putin. There are no real consequences to overthrowing a country other than you don't get Versace robes and Gucci sliders now...

Given how incompetent most Italian governments have been during the last 20 years, it doesn't really come as a surprise, sadly.

Draghi is a great PM. I mean, the man saved Euro Area. But I can't see what he is thinking. The sanctions are trying to bother the rich families of Russia. Ban them from accessing luxury goods would serve that purpose pretty well.
