Yesterday I read or heard somewhere that some of the sanctions that were being implemented in Biden's first tranche were sanctions that were put on after the Crimea invasion and were still in effect. OR NOT. They just get ignored over time. WOMP!!!! Biden has this bifurcated spiel about alleged European unity going. He crows about how unified NATO is but then when he toggles over to the governments of the European NATO members he starts getting wobbly real fast. Can't get agreement on SWIFT, various members still want their energy supplies, womp, womp.
I think you're crossing signals. You initially quoted a post where I didn't mention "repel." But I did mention it in the post right before yours: But that's not the post you quoted. I'll try to respond as best I can anyway. I stated that there is a zero chance Ukraine can resist/fight Russia indefinitely. I later implied/stated that Ukraine can be more effective with asymmetrical tactics than without. I never implied that Ukraine would win. If one or more of those responses doesn't fit the bill; let me know what you're specifically asking/stating, and I'll better respond.
Except Boris wants the Russian billionaires' nice mansions in Mayfair for his partying. Wouldn't Putin just freeze HSBC assets? Russian is under various sanctions more than 100 times since 2014, doesn't really work, only US media believes this. https://www.trade.gov/country-commercial-guides/russia-sanctions https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-sanctions-timeline/29477179.html https://nypost.com/2022/02/22/these-are-the-russian-banks-and-elites-sanctioned-by-us/
