U.S. media reports say sanctions looming against Russia in retaliation for alleged election interference and hacking will include the expulsion of 10 intelligence officers from the United States as well as targeting all Russian debt issued after April 14. The new sanctions, which are expected to be announced on April 15, come two days after U.S. President Joe Biden held a phone call with Vladimir Putin where Biden invited his Russian counterpart to hold a summit on neutral ground as tensions between the West and Russia mount over the conflict in Ukraine. U.S. media reported the sanctions will affect more than 30 Russian entities, in addition to the expulsion of what Washington called "10 intelligence officers." It will also expand an existing ban on U.S. banks from trading in Russian government debt. The Washington Post reported that a new order by Biden will also allow his administration to broaden sovereign debt sanctions against Russia in the future. President Joe Biden's administration has been signaling for weeks that it is preparing to make a major response to the cybersecurity breach affecting software made by the company SolarWinds. U.S. intelligence officials and technology companies have said the intrusion, discovered in December, was likely the work of Russian hackers.

The Kremlin thought that moving thousands of troops to the border of Ukraine and Biden requesting a meeting with Putin signaled a Russian win with no new sanctions coming.

As is obvious, the Kremlin thought wrong.

Useless posturing. Won't stop Russia.

But hey...now the media can say Biden is actually doing something...even if it's a lie.

Maybe if Biden bent over for Putin like Trump did you would respect him?

Trump sweet talked Putin while he was taking their money away from them...and not from individuals, from entire industries.

Putin prefers useless actions that don't stop anything, and that's what he's getting from Biden.

Oh, do you mean the bit where he was dragging his feet on implementing sanctions?

Or by using Arms supplies as a bargaining chip to pressure Ukraine into opening an investigation into his political rival?

Or was it the times he was meeting with Putin with no one else present, a very odd move?

Or was it the time he publically took the word of Putin over his own intelligence agencies that Russia did indeed interfere in the 2016 President Election?

Did Biden ask for an investigation into the top 2024 republican candidates before he would release the money?

No. And neither did Trump.
 
After looking over the sanctions (only the transparent sanctions as the Biden administration says there are sanctions we cannot see), I'm not impressed and I doubt Putin will be impressed either.

When it comes to confronting Putin, it looks like Joe is just another wuss.
