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.”

I'm no expert but it seems President Biden's marionettists are trying to involve us in a shooting war with a superpower in order to distract from his appalling record of dismal failures. It's sort of Wag the Dog on steroids.
You'll recall how much they envied W Bush for the enormously soaring ratings he achieved after 9/11. If they're able to duplicate that, the Democrats just might survive this year's midterms.
To: dfwgator
Yeah just so.
Probably what was previously agreed to if I had to guess.

This was an internal succession movement. What business is it of the US to get involved?

As I understand it, most of the people in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions would rather be a part of Russia than be a part of Ukraine. If that’s true, let them.

Guess Bidet didn’t get his 10%. But don’t worry. They’ll likely get all the financing they need from Uncle Xi.

Useless. Canadians have been sanctioned and are going to love to bitcoin. These sanctions are.going to be meaningless. Are they going to Sanction their owners, the Chinese, for continuing to do business with Russia? If the answer is no then what you have is a meaningless gesture. Moreover, Russia can recognize whatever it wants what difference does it make? Soon they’ll recognize breakaway Canadian states too. The west has absolutely no credibility with me after what they’ve done in their own countries to their own people.
