New: After the US & allies unleashed the broadest sanctions in history against Russia, the Biden admin is already examining a once-unthinkable possibility:

[Finbarr Bermingham @fbermingham]

Since the start of the invasion, the Biden adm has been studying whether sanctions against Russia might one day work vs Beijing

NEW: US officials are modelling whether current mammoth sanctions on Russia would be usable on China in the future, and have floated the idea with European partners

Long read by @jakefromer and me.
