"We have anticipated a move like this from Russia and are ready to respond immediately. President Biden will soon issue an Executive Order that will prohibit new investment, trade, and financing by U.S. persons to, from, or in the so-called DNR and LNR regions of Ukraine. This E.O. will also provide authority to impose sanctions on any person determined to operate in those areas of Ukraine. The Departments of State and Treasury will have additional details shortly. We will also soon announce additional measures related to today’s blatant violation of Russia’s international commitments.
To be clear: these measures are separate from and would be in addition to the swift and severe economic measures we have been preparing in coordination with Allies and partners should Russia further invade Ukraine.
We are continuing to closely consult with Allies and partners, including Ukraine, on next steps and on Russia’s ongoing escalation along the border with Ukraine."
News travels fast. The EU has also just announced sanctions on Russia for "blatant violation of international law, the territorial integrity of Ukraine and the Minsk agreements." This is unbelievable, yet totally expected when you understand the propaganda game. Sanctions will only punish the people that have just gained their freedom.

Is this an appropriate response to Putin's actions today? I think not.

This wont end well for sleepy creepy or cameltoe.

Imagine the mental gymnastics when they start to justify Ukraine "Invading it's own territory" because that somehow makes the massacre ok.
I'm guessing they'll say Putin only did this so he could invade someone that isn't Ukraine.
Translation: The Biden Crime Family needs their cut from Eastern Ukraine
