Biden sanctions blow up in his face

"You've read about the "knockout game" in US inner cities. You most likely wouldn't think that a bunch of fat old white guys would have their own version of something like that, but they do; it's called "ECONOMIC SANCTIONS" and, prior to now at least, it has been knocking out entire nations and not individuals. But, as in the case of the street thug who tries to play knockout with somebody like Rocky Marciano or Mike Tyson, they have finally tried their sanctions game on the wrong nation and the wrong leader."

The reason Joe is in office is the Democrats needed someone who was so out of his mind that he wouldn’t comprehend that he ruined the entire country. No thinking person would want to be known as the president who wrecked the United States.

The fundamental problem with these types of severe economic sanctions is that they don't consider the reason the sanctioned individuals have economic power. The typical liberal believes that wealth is inherited or just appears in this mysterious way, and that it is not earned. That's why they are so eager about taxing the rich. What they don't understand is that the use of capital to create jobs, services and products to customers is essential to a stable economy. When they remove large amounts of capital through taxation or in this case, sanctions, they are also restricting access to vital elements of the economy.

We have now been told that sanctions don't deter bad behavior; and we know that sanctions cause problems for everyone, not just the target of the sanctions. All sanctions do is give politicians a rhetorical opportunity to proclaim they are doing something. Whether or not it works is irrelevant, just about like everything the liberals and progressives do.

He was also dumb as a brick in his Senate years!

Living example of why we need the 17th Amendment repealed. The Delaware legislature could not have done worse!

Title needs corrected to read “Blow up in OUR face”. Joe will make out just fine with his 10% of the cut on everything.

Sanctions need to be targeted by someone with more than 2 functioning brain cells. The problem with the Biden administration is they are so stunningly dumb it’s beyond belief.

He signed 73 EOs on day one.

He wouldn't have had access to them prior...as a private citizen.

Biden is in office becausew the entire system is corrupt, i.e. too many people who should have been able to stop what happened were too compromised and/or too intimidated to do so.

In their usual obtuse fashion. the liberal ruling class failed to note that when you do economic violence against a nation rich in resources, fueling and feeding a whole big part of the world, it just might react— even counterattack. The mental midgets of the EU (and the White House) apparently thought Putin would just stand there and take it like a man.

With Putin SAYING that the ruble is on the gold standard different than actually giving people gold for their rubles.

Classic tactics of Cloward-Piven and Alinsky. Destroy a thing so that, in the ensuing chaos, you can implement the thing that YOU want.
