In what was described as a major ramping up of sanctions, Secretary of State John Kerry announced on Tuesday that the United States had frozen Russian President Vladimir Putins Netflix account, effective immediately. Unless and until Mr. Putin calls off the annexation of Crimea, no more House of Cards or Orange Is the New Black for him, Mr. Kerry said. The United States will not stand by and reward the annexation of another sovereign nation with a policy of streaming as usual. While all of the sanctions Mr. Kerry announced on Tuesday were Netflix-related, he warned Mr. Putin that nothing is off the table. Im sure I dont need to remind the Russian President that Game of Thrones is about to come back for another season, he said. As I have said, this thing could get very ugly, very fast.
