The White House said President Biden would soon issue an executive order that would ban new investment, trade and financing by US people and entities in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions.
“This EO [executive order] will also provide authority to impose sanctions on any person determined to operate in those areas of Ukraine,” said Jen Psaki, White House press secretary. “We will also soon announce additional measures related to today’s blatant violation of Russia’s international commitments.”
Psaki said the measures were separate from the economic sanctions the US has threatened to impose if Putin invades 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.”

Would someone please translate the reason this action? Thanks.
One lousy economy (and getting lousier) sanctioning another.
More Symbolism over Substance.
Question for Bidet: How are you not oppressing your citizens more than Putin oppresses his?
Why is Ukraine important to Biden? Is it a straight quid pro quo for hooking up Hunter and the Bursima sh*t?
Yep. Ukraine has been the cash cow for corrupt politicians across the globe ever since it became independent.
Would someone please translate the reason this action? Thanks.

President Retard is upset the invasion didn’t begin when he ordered 🤪
Biden is shit and the world is his fan.
Biden’s taking Putin out behind the gym to make him pay for annexing part of Ukraine. Putin just rolls his eyes and chuckles.
Has to be something like that.
No one in their right mind wants anything to do with this.
And rightfully so..because it’s none of AMERICA’s business.
Theatre.
Just been chatting with a close friend who is Ukranian.
It seems like what has happened is this.
There are two “breakaway” regions in Ukraine - Donetsk and Luhansk.
There have been warring factions in these two regions since at least 2014. Right now the lines of demarcation are roughly right down the middle as far as boots on the ground go.
Putin today said he was going to recognize the lines of demarcation **as they currently exist**.
This turns out to be a move towards **de-escalation**. Had he said he would recognize the regions according to their original borders that would have favored **escalation**. But he did not do that.
Now the sanctions that appear to be announced here are not the “doomsday” sanctions - they are more like “slap on the wrist” sanctions.
So it looks to me (and my friend) that a deal was cut and that the world has stepped back from the precipice.
Mo’ song and dance shuffle from our Zombie in charge. Putin and Xi are getting some hearty laughs.
Fake Doc Jill pulls sad sack Joe’s strings. Same as Woodrow Wilson’s wife in the last 3 years of his sht-fake Deomocrap invade the world Presidency.
This is a wag the dog operation instigated by Biden trying to make himself LOOK like some war time HERO POTUS!! Biden is an absolute commie POS, this country is EXACTLY the same as when Obama was in charge AND I BELIEVE wholeheartedly that it is Obama in charge!! Obama who is ANOTHER student of DAVOS!!! All of these smooth talking operators young TRAINED by Klaus Schaub to have ALL countries run just like China!!
Seems to me these will have very little effect at all. It just saying something to make it look like they are doing something.
Of course the media will praise Brandon for this “tough action”.
