Joe Biden said some unbelievable things during his remarks on Thursday about Russia’s invasion in Ukraine.
Chief among them was this remark that jumped out to many: that “no one expected sanctions would prevent anything.”

Huh, what? What has the Biden team been discussing, threatening sanctions for the last month? Why haven’t they been discussing sanctions if they really believed that?
Kamala Harris claimed that sanctions would discourage Putin.

Biden also fell over Jen Psaki (White House Press Secretary), who had said the exact same thing.
Psaki claims that Biden’s strategy of sanctions against Russia has “worked”.

We were even able to observe that she claimed the sanctions worked.
What an incredible consistency! It is hard to believe that anyone could look at this and not feel satisfied with those in our offices. Democrats have been a huge disservice not just to America but also to the peace and stability of the world. By imposing this group upon us, they suggested they could be competent to face the issues they would encounter.
Biden’s statement was such a stunning lie and flip-flop on what his team had been saying that even CBS News’ Margaret Brennan called it out.
CBS News’ Margaret Brennan says, “I found that so fascinating when President Biden stated, ‘No one expected sanctions prevent anything.’

“I thought that was so interesting when President Biden said, ‘No one expected sanctions to prevent anything, Brennan said. “Actually, that’s exactly what his foreign policy team said again and again, and it’s what his secretary of state said to me on Sunday.”
ABC News found this absurd as well.
ABC News: “There’s a reason that President Biden faced incredible skepticism from reporters in the room who are asking, ‘Is it enough?’ “Is it enough?” and “How much longer will it take?”

“There’s a reason that President Biden faced incredible skepticism from reporters in the room who are asking, ‘Is it enough?’ and ‘How long will it take?’
“I was very struck by the moment where President Biden said, ‘Come back to me in 30 days.’”
Return in thirty days. It is a delusion. In 30 days, Ukraine might be an ash-streaked cinder block. He wonders what he believes will happen during that period.
Then Biden also told Fox’s Peter Doocy that the weak sanctions he’s dropped so far are going to be as “devastating” as bombs and tanks.

Biden lives in a fantasy world.
They could have offered lethal assistance, as I mentioned earlier. They could even have taken Putin to the bank. They could have seize the assets and wealth of those closest to Putin. They continue to pontificate instead.
But, this is where Biden’s broken brain is at this point. He was even smiling during his remarks, and I don’t know what the heck there is to smile about with all this. If he wanted a war, thinking that would get Americans behind him, that’s not going to work either because Americans are all looking at this and saying he’s wrong once again.
