If we are going to carry this as a value on the international stage, that the United States stands up for human rights and certain values and the rule of law, is it not important that we be willing to apply these sanctions to accomplish…

We imposed sanctions on the individual.

If Putin hates this so much, we're sure that there are a lot of other dictators who would hate this as well.
