  1. Come on man it's a peaceful invasion and I will make ten percent.

  2. 🆘 Mr. Biden the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy turned down your offer to evacuate Kyiv, the capital city, the Associated Press reported late Friday.
    AP reporter James La Porta said Ukraine’s president decided to stay in Kyiv and fight alongside his fellow countrymen.

    “The fight is here’ I need ammunition, not a ride,” the president reportedly told American officials. Remember Mr.
    Biden The US Spends $22 Million Daily on Dictator Putin-Russian Oil. If you didn’t cancel the Keystone XL Pipeline all that $cash$ won’t be going to that thug Putin and Russia. Ukraine can blame You and your Administration incompetence for the Russian invasion and why the sanctions are not working very well to end the invasion. God Bless and protect Ukraine 🇺🇦 people. Ukrainians don’t want to live under a dictator. Mr. Biden excellence is never an accident. Failure is a choice.

  3. From Twitter:

    Vladimir Putin doesn’t want me to be President. He doesn’t want me to be our nominee. If you’re wondering why — it’s because I’m the only person in this field who’s ever gone toe-to-toe with him.

    — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) February 21, 2020 WHAT A JOKE LMAO GET EM CORNPOP!

  4. I’m sure Putin is more than ready by now. It’s sad watching Biden think he’s actually doing a good job. Outsmarted at every turn.

  5. Soft sanctions ridiculous wake up America find out how stupid they are

  6. Soft sanctions. Ridiculous. Wake up America

  7. Inflation to 10% and gas to $6 per gallon.
    Unfortunate that Biden and his Green progressives torpedoed our domestic energy industry last year; that gas and oil sure would come in real handy right now!!!

  8. "I got hairy legs that turned … blonde in the sun. And the kids used to come up and reach into the pool and rub my leg down so it was straight and watch the hair come back up again," Biden recalled. He then said he "learned about kids jumping on my lap, and I loved kids jumping on my lap."

  9. 81 MILLION VOTES FOR BIDEN AND 10 FOR THE BIG GUY

  10. Has everyone forgotten the contents of the infamous Panama Papers?!? Putin and thousands of Russia's top elites have billions in offshore bank accounts and phony shell companies. Thus, they've perfected the craft of money laundering.

    Moreover, the vast majority of these oligarchs have astronomical holdings in commodities such as fine art, which can easily be liquidated into hard cash via undisclosed private sales (or borrowed against). Just ask the world's leading auction houses, Christie's and Sotheby's.

    Categorically, sanctions will NOT harm these individuals, nor will they work in the long-term, especially when it comes to Putin and his inner circle. Wake up, people.

  11. Welp… Y'all voted for this…

  12. God bless president Joe Biden, God bless kamala Harris and God bless America. Joe Biden best president since the Great obama. Biden2024. Vote blue guys!!!!!

  13. Biden is incredulous that Putin would dare to invade Ukraine, as Biden invades/bombs Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Sudan, Yemen, and Somali. Blessed are the peacemakers.

  14. I have read & seen that Vlad might use The Bomb if he doesn't win a quick victory in Ukraine. Is that actually true?

  15. Well, hopefully this won't ignite Chernobyl nuclear waist in the air.

  16. Dear Americans 😞 I’m from Baltics and since we are next in the row after Ukraine, please take a minute to read this 🙏 I’m following Putins actions and speeches for over 20 years… Putin just started WW3!! If you would be more familiar with his personality you would understand that! 🥺 Putin is a DICTATOR and there is no way to fight a dictator with democratic actions, economical sanctions etc….. The introduced sanctions are surprisingly SOFT!!!! Putin does NOT care about Russian economy nor people!!! Russians suffered starvation during soviet union times from 1922 to 1991 and still they were NOT able to change their redundant leaders!!! Because there is NO elections in Russia, THIS IS NOT a DEMOCRACY as in USA where leaders are replaced if they don’t do their job in interest of people of their country… this is hard for you to understand as you have not experienced that ever! But please trust me and make no mistake!!! Economic sanctions will not stop Putin!!! During soviet union time it was totally economically isolated from 1946 to 1991 for 45 years!!! Are you sure you have this time??? Putin will lead his country in starvation and will still maintain his power and will still raise enough money for himself and his war!!! If you and European Union will not stop him now HE WILL FEEL that he CAN DO WHATEVER HE WANTS… he will not stop in Ukraine!!! He will take the Baltic’s next!!! And once China sees there is no response and that US is afraid to act, Chinese will take the Taiwan! Can you imagine RUSSIA and CHINA together doing whatever they want? What that will mean to US? Sure there is no treat to you YET!!! Make no mistake!!!! There is no treat to USA just YET!!! People forget lessons of the history… While Hitler attacked Poland allies hoped that he will stop there.. they were afraid of themselves and failed to action on time.. Result?- WW2… Dictators and aggressors DO NOT STOP THEMSELVES – they are STOPED!!! I’m not proposing to fight back now in UKraine, world already lost this battle BUT sanctions needs to be SEVERE!! Really severe.. there should be thousands of troops in Baltics, Poland and rest of the Europe to make Putin understand that any other move will be a death for him! For him personally as again, he does not care about his people!!!

  17. I can't believe they called anyone else a puppet to the Russian regime. Biden and Obama were weak and Biden has pockets filled with cash from the region for himself and his crackhead son.

  18. "Biden Expected To Announce Severe Sanctions On Russia" so let's #ConvinceItForward

  19. What a Joke – John Kerry comes out today saying he's worried about Climate Change, Joe Biden needs to put the "Green Beans" on the bench – and reinstate our "USA" Energy Independence, be the leader in Oil and Natural Gas production once again, Biden needs to lead – John Kerry, AOC and the rest of the Green Beans take a seat – take a look at the fires durning in Ukraine / all the pollution being emitted into the atmosphere due to war, this is all caused by a "weak" USA.
    Bring back ASAP our Energy Independence – reduce oil pricing world wide by messaging, two fold, impact Russian economy, and reduces transportation cost, which leads to lower goods cost, and to lower consumer cost – reduces inflation as a whole.
    Today "SAY IT" we are expanding our oil and gas production.

  20. Biden is playing checkers
    Putin is playing Chess

  21. Klaus Schwab and his great reset. "You''ll own nothing & like it!"

  22. Joey for the save! He might be the underdog but he's strong and smart.

  23. Everyone in the comments are experts hahaha

  24. Sanctions harm 🇺🇸 more than russia. Sanctions dont work. U cannot fight swords with feathers.

  25. Biden presidency: Afghanistan, Inflation, Ukraine…….. disaster

  26. Can't wait to watch next incoherent speech from the nursing home 😅

  27. So I guess that's a solid NO for an extra stimulus?

  28. Bumbling Biden crisis after crisis and his silent crickets now know the pathetic choice they elected you sheep brought this on

  29. I voted for Joe Biden why do I feel like I have blood on my hands this morning Gasoline heading to 678 dollars who knows Even spam going up a little over a year ago everything was great now my life is a disaster

  30. What’s a matter joe. … your Nazi regime not work out in Ukraine? Who would have thought that would backfire🙄. What a putts

  31. Let's get serious we need to send Trump to battle on the Frontline

  32. Another epic failure by the incompetent Biden administration. Just think, he's one year in, 3 years to go, god help us.

  33. Biden has been announcing coming sanctions from the start. Putin understands them. He knows they are coming. He doesn't care. They will only harm civilians and not just in Russia. They will only galvanize his war efforts and weaken our defense. He has planned this for decades. He is 2 steps ahead of us. We are 1 step from apocalypse. Good luck human kind.

  34. пошли Брэндон

  35. Lol so many funny comments

  36. Biden was found in the basement of the White House.

  37. What a joke
    Biden did this
    Merkel did this
    Democrat fascism worldwide

  38. Another L for Biden! Weak leader! Always late to the Party. Biden is all words and no action!

  39. He should just plea for “flexibility” Until the next election like Obama did
