The White House: Statement by the White House Press Secretary on President Putin announcement on East Ukraine, " We have anticipated a move like this from Russia and are ready to respond immediately. President Biden will soon issue an Executive Order that will prohibit new investment, trade, and financing by U.S. persons to, from, or in the so-called DNR and LNR regions of Ukraine. This E.O. will also provide authority to impose sanctions on any person determined to operate in those areas of Ukraine. The Departments of State and Treasury will have additional details shortly. We will also soon announce additional measures related to today’s blatant violation of Russia’s international commitments. " This will really impress Putin NOT, this blog had no idea that US citizens had such large business investments in the East Ukraine. This really shows why Putin he can win this fight, the first PART IS WEAK as dishwater! This is the send part of the statement, " To be clear: these measures are separate from and would be in addition to the swift and severe economic measures we have been preparing in coordination with Allies and partners should Russia further invade Ukraine. We are continuing to closely consult with Allies and partners, including Ukraine, on next steps and on Russia’s ongoing escalation along the border with Ukraine. "
Lets Get Real:
What does it take for POTUS to stop hiding under the Oval Desk, a Desk that has served JFK and Ronald Reagan, do you really think those leaders would have allowed themselves to be played by PUTIN. A REAL LEADER after this would have placed troops in the Ukraine, and drawn a line, this and no further, but our LEADERS are weak, they hide behind NATO, what is the point of NATO if it does not protect a DEMOCRATIC STATE. One hopes the US VOTERS get fed up with these peace meal action by POTUS and the Democrats, this is why Democrats are not trusted on NATIONAL SECURITY. Time for the American Eagle to shows its claws and not just a open hand to be spat on by Putin.
