I'm pretty sure the President is already authorized to sanction these oligarchs. I'm confident the QAnon members of congress and senate would be suing Biden on their behalf right now if they thought it would even be a pain in his neck. (It wouldn't be)

Mass authorization to strip one's rights without trial isn't due process and the QAnon stuff is a non-sequitur.

The OP claimed that due process is impossible, so I showed how it can work. Funding or plotting genocide would probably be a serious crime anyways, so why not have a proper trial instead of cutting corners?

A functioning justice system is the bedrock of democracy, and it's the last place where you'd want to be making shortcuts. Not only would missteps cause reputational damage for democracies, it's going to ultimately hurt you too.

You are talking about situations that do not include military aggression. We do not grant foreign adversaries the privilege of petitioning our courts and we never have.
