Sanctions which will be gotten around in 5 minutes or less. When 47 closes access to the Swift banking system, we will know he is getting serious, until then, its just another tap on his best bro’s wrist.

Economic sanctions one step short of what comes next. Russia is not backing down IMHO neither is China with its economic measures.

Germany’s auto industry crippled by the chip export decision coming from China in recent days.

Peter Hitchens wrote early on the likely winner of the Ukraine War would be China.

take further action if necessary

The Russians most certainly know that a ceasefire without a final peace treaty will benefit Ukraine far more than them — by giving the losing Ukrainians the opportunity to rearm and strengthen their defensive lines. That’s why the USA insisted on Japan’s surrender, rather than a ceasefire, during WW-II. And that’s also why the ceasefire in Gaza is destined to fail.

Just what a Russian asset would do; I’m sure Putin told him to.

Right, Democrats?
