The way he basically threatened every other nation who would interfere with his attacks is either the sign of a lunatic or a very, very confident man who has something up his sleeve. Either option is not good.

Or Putin has all the dirt from the illegal stuff going on in Ukraine and is blackmailing the leaders so they won't do anything. We know Hunter has admitted Russia has blackmail material on him.

The sanctions Trump put on Russia are still in place. Biden has put sanctions on Russia in addition to the ones Trump did. The sanctions Putin faces now are "tougher" than the ones he faced under Trump.

Get your facts right before you spout off, guys.

There is a reason the leadership Obama installed got tossed out. All the money poured into the country disappeared for the most part. They also started to go after some of the corruption.

Putting sanctions on a country after you hand them trade and new pipelines isn't going to hurt them. It's helping them.
