Do You Think the Initial Sanctions Were Ever About Deterrence?

i feel like i missed two days of the stort, like two episodes in the middle of this script. A lot of smart people didn't know how nado would really react when puton win and to went into ukraine. So i think there's something very understandable here. That if we're talking about byden's leadership, once the shooting started, that's where he's at his strongest. The fact that the shooting started illustrates the failure of American policy.
