As would be expected from a politician, NOW she's squealing like a pig under a gate about how bad they are, as if she had always been against them.
Probably at the time because they were not considered a threat to the USA or any of our closest allies or alliances.

I think that's still the case (not a threat to us or allies), but I could be wrong.

What would you suggest the criteria for official sanctions be?

Try to think about it without personalizing it to a politician.

The USA has limited resources and the citizens have a limited ability to keep focused on any given problem.

What business is it of ours that some local insurgency in a basket-case corrupt country has done something evil?
