So Brandon is only doing sanctions on the breakaway regions of Ukraine, and not on Russia proper?
I'm more worried about how the foolish dementia-addled crook in the White House will respond. Will he drag us into a shooting war? He is not in any way equipped to deal with serious foreign policy issues. And the advisors in his administration are idiots, as well.
Sorry, but according to Mathew Dowd, you are now a traitor to your country for saying that.https://twitchy.com/gregp-3534/2022/02/22/matthew-dowd-plays-the-dissent-is-treason-card-over-criticism-of-joe-biden-on-russia-and-ukraine/
During the Obama years they always threw in a charge of racism as well.
Up your Raytheon and Honeywell holdings.
That's a given now because everything is racist.
Just had A-10's go over fast and low. Hope we don't wind up in the middle of this crap.
Damned if we do, damned if we don’t. Probably to late to not pull a chamberlain but there do need to be actual red lines in the world. If Russia is intent on remaking the ussr against the will of the client states at some point that demands action. No pipelines, strangle their few ports probably by refusing entry to any shipping line that deals with the Russians or proxies. If the security Council cannot be disbanded leave the U.N. and start another organization. Complete economic smothering, not targeted sanctions.
How would US citizens benefit from this course of action?Tucker Carlson makes a good point about Ukraine connections to the Biden family. The wealth they’ve made off Ukrainian government lobbying in the US has to give pause to anyone considering intervention.
We don’t have to replay 1917 or 1941 where we should have been taking decisive action far sooner if we were going to act at all. China and Russia will own the world if there are no checks on their aggressive behaviors.
