  1. This is problematic but why didn’t the UN and Europe sanction The U.S. when they invaded Iraq?

  2. #45 probably sold secret Intel on NATO to Putin!

  3. ABC News, how were we weak with Afghanistan? Such a lame question asked to boost ratings more than anything. We went after Osama Bin Laden and got him. 20 years at war and for what? Thankfully, Joe Biden took us out of that meaningless war!

  4. As long as Biden shuts down America' drilling and keystone

  5. Exactly! Trump was Puttin’s puppet!

  6. don't trust Putin's lie to meet and negotiate,, he is looking for the opportunity to get Zelensky and his top government officials in one place to arrest and imprison them, he will not negotiate with the current Ukrainian government.

  7. 6 months easy…. he bulid the sanctions shield since 2014… 😉

  8. The Ripple effect is hurting US plus inflation, tough times ahead for US.

  9. This is the beginning of WW3. Russia and china have the strategic advantage right now. Both have hypersonic missiles. Which we have failed to figure out yet. And have no defense that can stop them. So until we put our money back into our military again. We will be out matched especially if china and Russia become full allies.

  10. Never..never under estimate Putin. He has been preparing for this war for years.

  11. negotiate? China takes over Russia 💯💯💯💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

  12. We got more jets than cars in America

  13. Money is NATO'S god….

  14. Putin Doesn't care about Sanctions because he is backed by china and people on there side.
    You know, the ones we get oil from. There is ALOT more to this story we don't know yet

  15. Why now? Oh idk maybe because it’s time, read the Bible folks!! God has a plan but worry not for Jesus himself said these things must happen but it’s not the end but keep watch for it is almost time

  16. He's been planning this since the Obama administration. He knows what he wants to do. He sees Biden as weak.

  17. Надеюсь, однажды Россия будет полностью уничтожена ядерным оружием. Наконец-то во всем мире наступит мир.

  18. i'm in 8 grade i knw a lot about life my math teacher from california university one of the best in the world told us biden is doing a great job as president and we believe her why did he win if he was bad? he won because he's a good guy and wants everybody to be good why can't the us send someone like jason bourne or agent 47 to russia? us make russia 50 state and the ppl is free send the navy to take him out and the world would be a safe

  19. Wow, poor people who will suffer the sanctions…for Russia it's only for the operations in Ukraine, but can you IMAGINE all the consequences of sanctions for starting all THESE wars:….Iraq, Libya, Syria, Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia, Uganda, Lebanon, Vietnam, Serbia, Afghanistan, Korea, Cambodia, Congo, Cuba, Chile, Nicaragua, Haiti, Angola, Chad….(easily 20 times harder sanctions than those imposed on Russia…wow when THAT starts happening…phew…that's gonna be difficult)❗

  20. Sanctions? Really? This isn't the early 1900s NATO. America's no longer number 1 trade dog. Fucking China is. Sanctions is like a slap on the wrist. Taiwan and Ukraine I'm so sorry for our weakness

  21. I live right next to Ukraine 😭🤬

  22. I VOTE for banning every russian athlete from every international sport event. That would definitely put some pressure on Putin. Inside pressure.
