    this forum is called debate and discussion. calling your president derogatory names during a time of a huge geopolitical crisis makes you look like a russian operative, brandon weirdo.

    You are pretty sure Russia has what?

    And as others have told you Nato members have missiles that are even closer and no evacuation is not feasible for any of these types of missiles and bunkers only work if you are in them and with these missiles there will be no time, so time does not really matter?

    He is the only guy capable to coalesce popular opinion here and abroad to institute harsh sanctions and he's been doing a fine job at that so far. What else do you want the guy to do?

    Biden didn't do Swift? I know they are holding some stuff back, but why? Just go all in.

    If his decision making is as unsound as you portray it, then it will be his advisors who will be making the decisions. I'm comfortable with that compared to what the alternative might have been.

    Are we 'Building Back Better,' yet?

    Curious what the globalist establishment types, including Klaus Schwab and the WEF crew, think this plays into their 'plans'.

    That was pretty powerful. I'm impressed. He's a much better speaker than what we've been getting from our leaders.

    I suppose it has something to do with gas prices and upcoming elections and the Democratic party desperate for this to not to turn into a political disaster? The right thing to do would be to take the economic hit, but it's kind of a catch-22 when that might increase the chances of our own (Russia friendly) despot and his cronies returning to power.

    Germany and IT don't want to do it for now. It's not a one-way street. Outsider money would be stuck there and can't be withdrawn. For now, it's not an option with EU not all on board.

    On the other one, it's probably a practical and logical matter. It's pretty well known that Putin hides his wealth and you don't know where it is. If it's part of Russia's economy, then well, it's being sanctioned indirectly. I think the logic is Putin is fully committed. You can't squeeze him directly. Squeeze everyone around him to abandon him.

    It's kinda disturbing how some in here can actually blame our own president for the actions of a dictator. Also isn't Putin like 5'6 or 5'7 while Biden is 6 feet.

    Big market rally after Biden's speech. Not sure what to make of that other than investors seem to like what they heard...
