I hope the USA isn't under the impression that the invisible hand of the economy will guide us towards peace and negotiation. This has been a long time in preparation.

These sanctions are too weak. Where are The NATO forces?

This is a terrible situation for Ukrainians, which of course America will make worse because that’s what they do. Wherever there’s mayhem and devastation, America is always on the lookout to get some of that action. Where’s George Carlin when you need him?

Lots of SWIFT agitating. Russia built a swift alternative. Germany, for example, is a member. Cut off SWIFT and you force transactions to the alternative, which may be counter productive.

Move the teleprompter closer he can’t read it

If he was so concerned about Americans paying higher gas prices, and inflation, why did he cut American domestic oil supply, which nearly doubled gas prices, inturn feeding inflation across the board. These actions also decreased national security. Seems I remember him freeing the Russian pipeline.

Finally now America can agree on BDS but towards Russia.
