Biden didn't elaborate on what future items he was talking about, as still to use going forth. And he didn't take any questions - including the one a reporter got out about the MIGs (and how congress wants those to get to Ukraine).What do you suggest he do?
But it seems to me Ukraine is in horrible and nearly unbelievable destruction mode right now. Many (including me) complained wondering what Biden was waiting for in starting sanctions before the invasion - especially as the administration was telling us with absolute certainty that intelligence told them the invasion was going to/certain to happen. But knowing that, they simply let the invasion begin without even a single sanction. Then when it started, they took slow baby steps. Now, Ukraine is unrecognizable in its destruction and Biden is still talking about future steps??????
Maybe it was in the really long thread about Ukraine, but I remember weeks ago, a poster wondering if Biden was just basically going to watch Ukraine die a slow and painful death. It seems that is exactly what's happened and is still happening.
What has been done hasn't worked. It was around 2/24 that a reporter questioned Biden about if the sanctions would work and Biden answered to check back in a month. I think everyone was shocked with that answer - knowing that Ukraine didn't have anywhere near a month. Now we know the horrible reality of 3/4 of that month Biden mentioned!
