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.”

“..If they’re able to duplicate that, the Democrats just might survive this year’s midterms...”
Exactly. Only two things will save the communists in the midterms: An all-out war and Dominion voting machines.
“..Would someone please translate the reason this action? Thanks....”
It makes the diaper-wrapped pedo look tough. You know, like he was when he whipped Corn Pop and Trump....you know, a tough guy. And they’re hoping it pulls attention from their outright dismal failures domestically.
Putin’s clever move, in a manner of speaking took the wind away from Biden’s and his crooked liberal cronies sails. I sure would not underestimate Putin as by now he may have already forgotten what of our liberal dummies have yet to learn.
Check out article and #103, and more.
Thanks, KC_Lion.
Wouldn’t harsh sanctions on Russia be an act of war?
Huh?
So Joe can do this, but any illegals who entered illegally when Trump was POTUS get free money because they “deserve” compensation for being mistreated. Afghans, probably future terrorists, got free passage to the USA, and free everything. Seems there are some pale-faced foreigners Biden does not like.
Great. He just spent over a year ruining our economy by messing up farmers’ ability to grow their crops, shutting down our pipelines and just today reducing oil leases. And NOW he wants sanctions on oil products coming out of Russia/Ukraine?
BiteMe really does hate us. God help us if we don’t get rid of these people BEFORE they do more damage than they already have.
Anyone on this board who hasn’t moved their investment and retirement accounts in the energy sector and Inflation Response funds at this point ...is a marooon.
Gonna ride this thru March at the least
An interesting actor.
Price?
What about AVAILABILITY??
You nailed it!
You can’t loan money to someone in those territories. Like that is going to change anyone’s mind.
At the right price, there will always be availability.
Why has Brandon not prepared our energy infrastructure to be prepared for this Russian invasion?
Why does he want Americans to suffer with higher energy prices when he could have prepared? And now our 401k’s are crashing just as Trump predicted. It’s not funny having a demented incompetent President no matter how many jokes Psaki wants to make.
You think that isn’t by design?
To “Build Back Better”, you must first destroy.
I guess everyone will want an electric car when gas is $5/gal. But what about heating homes? Maybe I’ll install a wood furnace to survive the next 3 years.
