MOSCOW (AP) — President Joe Biden announced the U.S. was ordering heavy financial sanctions against Russian banks and oligarchs on Tuesday, declaring that Moscow had flagrantly violated international law in what he called the “beginning of a Russian invasion of Ukraine.”

“None of us will be fooled” by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s claims about Ukraine, the U.S. President said. And he said more sanctions could be on the way if Putin proceeds further.

The Biden admin gave enough time and heads-up to allow the oligarchs to disperse their funds.

Don’t think they did not see this coming.

As they say in Louisiana, “yeah you right”. Putin can’t lose Ukraine to NATO.

Your neutrality idea could be good but Putin may think he doesn’t benefit enough from a stalemate.

"What happened to all the other sanctions?"

They were about as useless as the UN's 16 resolutions to Saddam Hussein.

That's what negotiations are all about, finding out what the other party really wants. Trump would know how to do it.
