Can Sanctions Deter Russia From Invading Ukraine?

Keep spewing nonsense. There ain’t going to be any invasion of Ukraine.
👎
I can guarantee you ☝️ he’s the best of all everyone know then as a good and reliable service

If rusia is so against nato, why don`t they create their own version of nato ?
• First, sanctions do not work, at least not to the degree we are trying to have them work. Indeed, I cannot think of one serious instance in which they have produced the desired result, certainly not when the target country sees some critical security interest at risk or the regime in power believes its rule to be in jeopardy. The greatest value of sanctions is for domestic political purposes: to "feel good" that we are "doing something," and to help avoid more
The diplomatic and fastest solution to Ukraine was right in front of our noses all this time and yet we are now 2/10/22 talking about it. FINLAND model is the solution.
There are several European countries (Austria, Cyprus, Finland, Ireland, Malta, and Sweden) that are part of the EU but are NOT part of NATO military alliance. Yes, we can have our cake (be EU member)and eat it too (not be in NATO). Ukraine can become part of EU (civil, trade, etc.) and NOT be part of NATO. Finland shares a border with Russia and is part of EU but NOT part of NATO. Finland does well for itself and so can Ukraine if it stays out of NATO and take the economic benefits of being part of EU. That will cause Russia to back off and everyone can go back to having peace. Also, one of the major gripe Russia has is Russian minorities in Ukraine are being treated like second-class citizens. This also can be addressed – look at how Canada treats the French-Canadians. The Quebac region enjoys protection of French culture and has limited self-governance. So can Russian parts of Ukraine if Ukraine govt restores Russian cultural rights and language.
Putin is between a rock and a hard place.
The US is policing the whole world .. Extending its arms of dictatorship !
Hell at least we dont hear the word covid every 5 minutes now
China and Russia are up to something.
I mean, at this point, shouldn’t we (USA) be more afraid that Russia may enact sanctions on us?
Russia is immune to western sanctions, as it has already proven to be self reliant where it needs to be. A self reliant economy>a large economy and Russia has got it all.
That is a No. I have never seen economic sanctions working . Has US resolved North Korea issue with sanctions?
There’s comes a certain point where sanctions don’t work… Like in North Korea… Russia is basically close to that line as well… We need to use raw force if they invade Ukraine. PERIOD. Biden better take the diaper off and put on his big boy pants… Maybe he can put on a pair that Trump left… Or maybe he should let Trump come handle this.
Look, these are not sanctions as such. Basically, Russia is going to be cut off from all European and much of international banking including the all-important Swift financial process. Basically, Russian banks will no longer be able to function throughout Europe, the Americas, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and the Middle East. The Russian rouble will collapse overnight – yes, it will totally collapse and basically be worth nothing. This will lead to the collapse of the Russian economy. And this numbskull Putin is going to face this? Will his people accept this? The man needs to get real . . .
I PERSONALLY THINK you are unestimating PUTIN, I think if you TRY to force his hand HE WILL DO THE TOTAL OPPOSITE…..BECAUSE YOU ARE expecting him NOT TOO!!! *I would BECAUSE IT'S THE ELEMENT OF SUPRISE,, catching you with your MOUTH RUNNING!!!!
USA, Britain, France, Germany have violated international law by attacking Iraq prior to false flag terrorism aka 9/11 WTC destruction.
Remaking Soviet Union
Re Built the Berlin Wall
All Russian and European must bow down for Putin is their New Czar 😀😂😂
Watch: Tulsi Gabbard slam Kamala over Russian sanction response:

does china not have russia’s back? China has $$$
Sanctions – the diplomatic equivalent of thinking Starbucks will go out of business if you stop buying their lattes.
The economy of Russia is sanction proof,Joe is making himself irrelevant this is miscalculation sleep joe.
a new wave of sanctions means a new wave of Russian development … is this lesson not learned yet ???? for more than 10 years this is a fact !!!
Putin is controlled by the billionaires of Russia sanctions will do effect as now the billionaires will be ringing putins phone
You really think Russia WAS NOT anticipating US sanctions? Russia, India, and China will just dumb the dollar, seller their discounted treasuries and cause the US economy to tank. There ARE countries sick and tired of the US playing the 'sanctions' card. Those days are soon coming to an end. The US no longer has the ability of being the 'bully of the block'. Our own economy is ever so fragile. You just don't play 'Russian Roulette' with the Russians.
Russia doesn’t give a damn about your stupid little sanctions. Concentrate more on your own country which is slow sliding down the side of the toilet bowl!
Energy dependency to Russia makes her richer and stronger. We should not think importing energy as a part of trade, its whole different story.
It should be called the soviet union because nothing changed in Russia. and we are paying at the Pump for that war.also Russia has oil. sanctions are not gonna stop Putin.
America is not power anymore
Ask the Taliban's
Hang on..you didn’t think Putin expected all of this? Russia’s economy is self sufficient already
No, they cannot.
best news
Apparently not
Ukraine: "We need military assistance against Russia"
US/Nato: "Don't worry we'll sanction them"
Ukraine: "Aw ** we gonna lose…" 😐
All it take is another president to come in power the change what Biden has done
Guess not now lol
This didn't age well
Sure don't look like it
Nope.
Well either way, I hope Ukraine if pudin keeps sending his army in, they hit the Chernobyl dome and the remainder of the nuclear power plant with rockets. So make sure pudin has an even bigger mess to clean up; Besides the cost to his own troops.
