As Ruble Crashes, Top Biden Official Details Sanctions Plan From White House

The value of the Russian ruble plummeted after the United States and other nations imposed “the most severe sanctions ever contemplated” on the country. The sanctions—meant to hit Russian elites and Putin’s close allies—will lead to the seizure of “the yachts, the fancy cars, the private jets” from oligarchs and a “raw deal” economically for ordinary Russians. MSNBC’s Ari Melber speaks with Daleep Singh, the sanctions czar of the Biden administration, about how the White House is responding to Russia’s “act of war.”

Indeed the world is one unit. Russia thought they are above everyone is so wrong

[wbrown]

In other words. Russian soldiers salaries not worth as much as it did last week. Talk about morale killer

[ArsenGTS]

As a Russian living in the USA I want to say: "God Bless AMERICA!!!"

[equalityforall]

I had just about given up on humanity.
Seeing people from all countries pull together to support and help Ukraine made me realize humanity still exists!!
The world loves Ukraine!!

[martinphilip]

Strange that Trump says this never would have happened under his rule. The truth is that if he were in charge, there would be no consequences for Russia.

[elliott]

its nice to have intelligent people in charge of the US again

[oogieboo]

Imagine calling the Biden admin's Russia response weak when with a snap of NATO's fingers, Russia's economy is collapsing xD

[jeffpetrie]

Trump works for Russia — not the USA. How is it EVEN POSSIBLE that my fellow Americans want him to be President again?! — Signed, a disappointed veteran

🐻🐻🐻“We don’t rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia.”

[yummymommy]

Today Ukraine tomorrow Taiwan, the world needs to stand up against Tyrants, period!

[suzanrobinson]

This shows how STRONG a leader our president is. Way to go America.

[bobwoods]

Thank God adults are in charge of the Whitehouse.

[steveellis]

His downfall, however difficult, will come from within Russia.

[sammyo]

Watching this 3 months later in May 2022 and I just have to laugh, many people underestimated the strength of the Russian economy.

[leslieshaw]

Excellent interview Ari. It’s so reassuring to hear an interview without escalating language. Some of these reporters are going to be sorry they were on the wrong side of history, luv and hugs from KC

[kalbs]

I wonder if Tucker is losing his investments?

[elainejohnson]

I wonder what sanctions on Russian banks will do to Trump's personal finances?

[rajibdeka]

Before war, $1= 75 ruble
After war and 6000 sanctions, $1=73 ruble.
Wow, how smart and effective this guy is😂😂😂

[stevepearce]

Daleep Singh, . Beyond factually informed and intelligent. Completely on top of his remit

[claytonsallas]

this is not just the US doing this, the world is standing up to Putin...one world one race the human race!
