Biden: "No one expected the sanctions to prevent anything from happening"

Then why the FUCK did you do it, Diaper Boy?

He's a disaster.

EVERY Biden supporter owns this tragedy. Every one.


President Biden on Thursday said that "no-one expected" sanctions imposed on Russia in response to its incursions into Ukraine to "prevent anything from happening" -- an apparent contradiction from prior White House messaging that emphasized the value of deterrence.

"No-one expected the sanctions to prevent anything from happening," Biden said. "This could take time and we have to show resolve so he knows what’s coming and so the people of Russia know what he’s brought on them, this is what this is all about."

"This is going to take time, it’s not going to occur…he’s gonna say ‘oh my God, these sanctions are coming, I’m gonna stand down.’"

The remarks came as he announced new sanctions on Russia in response for its invasion into Ukraine, which began early Thursday, marking the latest round of sanctions announced by the U.S.

Biden said the sanctions, in coordination with a coalition of other nations, would target four more major Russian banks, including VTB, and would make it harder for Russia to do business in dollars, Euros, pounds and yen. There will also be "new limitations" on what can be exported to Russia, he said.

But Biden’s claim that the sanctions were not expected to prevent Russia's actions was in stark contrast to past claims by the administration -- including his own vice president.

"The purpose of the sanctions has always been and continues to be deterrence," Vice President Kamala Harris said on Sunday, before the U.S. imposed sanctions.


Potatohead suppose to be "The Leader of the Free World" but he is fucking up the West's response to Russian aggression as bad as he fucked up the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Anybody that voted for Potatohead is an idiot.
 
nothing.
Doing something and then admitting you knew it wouldnt do anything is weak.
It's not "doing nothing." The goal is to financially make it more difficult for Russia. Putin boasts that Russia is not dependent upon any imported good, which may be nice if you want a Russian car rather than a Jetta, and his oligarchs will have more difficulty in laundering money by buying european gold courses by "loaning" money to non-russians posing as "fronts." If the EU is able to sustain the sanctions, they won't by natl gas from Russia, but from Israel and the US. And China will have to make a choice.

But Putin's aim is not just at Ukraine. And the effect of sanctions is intended to be a hardening of Nato to support the former Soviet vassal states that Putin wants to dominate and dictate whom is (s)elected.
