What do Biden's sanctions against Russia really mean?

President Biden has issued several sanctions against Russia after President Vladimir Putin recognized two Ukrainian separatist territories and began mobilizing troops. Some lawmakers think the U.S. needs to be tougher in their response. Marshall Billingslea, former assistant secretary to the Treasury Department and lead negotiator on Russian arms control under former President Trump, joined CBS News' Elaine Quijano to discuss.

Reporter, “Explain Sanctions”
Politician, “ Sanctions are sanctions that are Sanctioning the Sanctions”.

Sanctions mean: Absolutely nothing post invasion.

By the time Russia feels the effect(s) of any sanctions; the Ukraine would have already surrendered months before. Sanctions are used to save face for not being able to actually help our friends.

Let's Talk Sanctions. You know We " America" Export $90 Billion in Gas and Petroleums last Year alone. We Imported $13 Billion of Gas and other Petroleums from Russia last Year. You tell Me what's wrong with this Picture?? Russia Doesn't Care about being Sanctioned. We the American People need to Worry about it. Just Watch how long it takes for EVERYTHING in this Country to Skyrocket in Price's.. I'll say By June of this Year Gas will be Well over $5 a gal almost Everywhere in this Country. It will Be a Trickle Down Effect. This Is just the Start of Thing's that are Going to Get Worst for EVERYONE.. 😎

In a word, the sanctions mean nearly “nothing”. It’s just political grandstanding at this point

No one paid attention to Hitler taking over Poland. They "talked" to him. That led us to WWII. Had all the Allied Nations put together a strong strategic response to Poland being taken over within days of what Hitler did, by going right in and destroying the bases in Germany, we would not have had a WWII. Now, we have another situation that needs immediate and strong action by NATO to stop Putin. Now!!!

International Space Station in problems?

The station is divided into two sections: the Russian Orbital Segment (ROS) is operated by Russia, while the United States Orbital Segment (USOS) is run by the United States as well as by the other states. The Russian segment includes six modules.
What happens now?
