I hope we can all survive through 2024, this is one heck of a bad ride with this President. We've never been weaker as a country 😥

Putin's puppet and his useless sanctions.
Let's go Brandon!

Wow Joe, that'll teach those pesky Russians. I can see them retreating already.

Putin can stop gas export, then who will have the last laugh 🤔

Joe Biden Supporters needs to help Him, Harris and team to FIGURE THIS OUT...The Community seems to be a bit silent and concern, I can wait

The best way deal with a brutal dictator threatening the free world with unprovoked aggression is to focus on how to be more diverse, inclusive, sensitive, equitable, non-discriminatory, and accepting?

To sum it up, he said he is not going to do anything direct

How come every Democrat president in my life likes war or imperialism so much.

this guy is a joke....trump is a true leader

[taxedbyme]

why are we trying to fix some other country when ours is so fucked up

[kookaat]

So did we stop buying crude oil from Russia yet? Last I checked we still are...

[paullegge]

Apparently I can’t call out the senior citizen making this speech an 1d10t. 😂 I love how he thinks these sanctions are going to be a “major hit” to Russia but ignoring how bad this is going to impact the United States.

[billybonds]

Sanctions may have some impact, however, more military aid is needed from the US to Ukraine. The evil dictator in the Kremlin needs to know the resolve of the US will not be weakened in its concerted efforts to assist Ukraine in its darkest hour.

[junvillanueva]

Sanctions only hurt the small people but not the people with political positions.
Sir, please stop pretending to be a tough guy because you are not. How about send modernize armaments so they can at least level with what the Russia soldiers has instead of empty words.

[gambitraider]

Wonder if us Canadian’s can get that pipe line built now?

[therealbronxbull]

Just sanction them for the resources they can't get from their allies!

[GrumblyAirMonk]

THANK GOD we have a stable and smart president and smart people in power.. We don't want war unless it invades NATO allied!
