Republicans and Democrats back harsh sanctions on Russia

<div><img class="ff-og-image-inserted" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/27NKUwCPbU27nmvVFJnxOW--kYg=/0x16:3600x1901/fit-in/1200x630/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/23268951/GettyImages_1372586851.jpg" /></div>
On Thursday, President Joe Biden announced that the US would impose more aggressive sanctions on Russia’s financial institutions in the wake of its <a href="https://www.vox.com/2022/2/23/22948534/russia-ukraine-war-putin-explosions-invasion-explained">recent military attack on Ukraine</a>.
That approach has the backing of many congressional Democrats and Republicans who’ve expressed support for “crippling” sanctions.
“I am committed to ensuring that the United States upholds our responsibility to exact maximum costs on Putin, the Russian economy, and those who enabled and facilitated this trampling of Ukraine’s sovereignty,” Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), the head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, <a href="https://www.foreign.senate.gov/press/chair/release/sfrc-chairman-menendez-statement-on-russias-attack-on-ukraine">said in a Thursday statement</a>.
“We’re all together at this point and we need to be together about what should be done,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell <a href="https://www.axios.com/mitch-mcconnell-sanctions-russia-7aec6330-9e88-40a1-b57f-5e9b6f561863.html">said during a press event on Thursday</a>. “Ratchet the sanctions all the way up. Don’t hold any back. Every single available tough sanction should be employed, and should be employed now.”
Their statements follow Russia’s decision to begin a <a href="https://www.vox.com/2022/2/23/22948534/russia-ukraine-war-putin-explosions">“special military operation” in Ukraine</a>, which included missile strikes in major cities like Kyiv early Thursday morning local time. They also come after Congress failed to reach a compromise on sanctions earlier this month, ceding such authority to Biden instead.
On Thursday, Biden said the US would impose new sanctions on four major banks and cut off Russia’s access to many high-tech imports. These sanctions are in addition to <a href="https://www.vox.com/2022/2/22/22945610/russia-sanctions-ukraine-nord-stream">another tranche of restrictions</a> Biden announced earlier this week, which already hit two major banks and sought to curb Russia’s access to foreign financing.
“We’re going to stunt the ability to finance and grow the Russian military,” Biden said in his speech.
Biden also made clear in his remarks that the US would not be sending troops into Ukraine as part of its response, a move some lawmakers have expressed concerns about. Thus far, the Pentagon has stationed US troops in eastern Europe to help process refugees and support NATO allies.
The general unity Democrats and Republicans have on Russian sanctions marks a change in tone from recent weeks, when the parties couldn’t agree on when to impose penalties. Now lawmakers broadly agree on the need for harsh sanctions, though that consensus doesn’t necessarily extend to Biden’s handling of the conflict overall.
Democrats and Republicans have aggressively denounced Russia’s invasion and fully supported more severe sanctions.
“The last few hours have laid bare for the world to witness the true evil that is Vladimir Putin,” Reps. Mike Rogers (R-AL), Michael McCaul (R-TX), and Mike Turner (R-OH), the top House Republicans on the Armed Services, Foreign Affairs, and Intelligence Committees, respectively, <a href="https://republicans-armedservices.house.gov/news/press-releases/rogers-mccaul-turner-react-russia-s-renewed-invasion-ukraine">said in a Wednesday statement.</a>
In addition to the sanctions on Russian banks, the administration has also sanctioned the Russian company behind the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline. Lawmakers have urged the administration to impose sanctions on more banks and Russia’s ability to use Swift, a system that allows the country to engage in business with the West. That’s a penalty Ukrainian leaders have called for as well.
“We must enact debilitating sanctions on Russia and cut them off from the global economy,” <a href="https://twitter.com/RepAdamSchiff/status/1496700632987836417">House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-CA) said in a Wednesday statement.</a>
Biden’s speech addressed some of these calls with its focus on additional financial institutions. He noted that the sanctions will not address Swift because certain European countries — including Italy and Germany — did not want to take that route just yet.
“The sanctions proposed on all their banks have equal consequence, if not more consequence, than Swift,” Biden said.
Some Republicans have also floated the idea of adding additional sanctions to Russia’s energy exports, which would be debilitating to the country’s economy. The administration has resisted doing this, however, because of the consequences it could have on energy costs and supply in the US and in allied countries.
While the support for sanctions has been bipartisan, Republicans have been split when it comes to Biden’s handling of the Ukraine conflict.
Certain lawmakers, like Senate Foreign Relations ranking member Jim Risch, have focused on the need to counter Russia in their initial responses, while others used this opportunity to criticize Biden’s “weakness” on the issue and a third group questioned the US’s involvement in Ukraine at all.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was among those who put the emphasis on Russia and condemned Putin’s invasion as “reckless and evil” in a statement on Wednesday. Later in the day, however, he retweeted a post from Rep. Beth Van Duyne criticizing Biden’s approach to the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-waive-sanctions-firm-ceo-behind-russias-nord-stream-2-pipeline-source-2021-05-19/">which the administration waived sanctions for last year.</a>
A number of Trump-friendly members went further in their critiques of Biden. “Joe Biden has shown nothing but weakness and indecision,” Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) said in a statement seemingly implying that the invasion of Ukraine was Biden’s fault.
<div>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Joe Biden has shown nothing but weakness and indecision. Now is the time to show strong purpose. Sanction Russia’s energy sector - the engine of its economy - to its knees and reopen American energy production full throttle <a href="https://t.co/TftZiAGb8L">https://t.co/TftZiAGb8L</a>
— Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) <a href="https://twitter.com/HawleyMO/status/1496690683834511362?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 24, 2022</a></blockquote>
</div>
Lawmakers like Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) made similar statements. “After just one year of a weak, feckless, and unfit president of the United States and Commander-in-Chief, the world is less safe,” Stefanik said.
McConnell, though he stressed the need for a united front on sanctions, also said that he felt the administration’s handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal likely sent other leaders a message that the US is in “retreat.”
These arguments echo more explicit comments made by former President Donald Trump, who has praised Putin’s willingness to invade Ukraine and repeatedly denigrated Biden’s approach to this conflict. “[Putin] was going to be satisfied with a piece and now he sees the weakness, the incompetence, the stupidity of this administration,” Trump said in a <a href="https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1496696062857433094?s=20&t=gnoqk70sFo4syH6mZZQjcQ">recent Fox News appearance</a>.
As Russian aggression has intensified, a small wing of the Republican Party — including members of the Freedom Caucus — has also pushed for an “America First” stance, which is seemingly less interested in American involvement in Ukraine. “We have no dog in the Ukraine fight. Not one American soldier should die there,” Rep. Paul Gosar, a Trump ally and member of this isolationist faction, previously said.
Taken together, these comments indicate that although many Republican leaders may be willing to back sanctions, they’re less likely to offer that same full-throated support to the Biden administration.

Zelensky Finds Time to Chat With Sean Penn For Documentary Amid Russian Siege

<a href="http://www.informationliberation.com/?id=62898">Ukraine’s comedian president Volodymyr Zelensky</a> took the time to speak with actor Sean Penn as part of a “documentary on the Russian invasion” as his military was being destroyed.
<figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter"></figure>
<figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter"></figure>
Zelensky released the embarrassing video himself Thursday on Instagram, writing: “The more such people in our country now, true friends of Ukraine, who support the struggle for freedom, the sooner it will be possible to stop Russia’s treacherous attack.”
“Sean popped up Thursday in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, after the Russians invaded … and Ukraine’s government says Penn is there to capture the conflict on film [for a documentary],” <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2022/02/24/sean-penn-ukraine-filming-documentary-russian-invasion/">TMZ</a> reported.
Zelensky reportedly never ordered a full mobilization of the Ukrainian military because he thought Putin was bluffing.

Russian Strikes Targeting US-Run Bio-Labs in Ukraine?

Is Russia’s “special military operation” actually a smokescreen to target US bio-labs in Ukraine?
Speculation on social media suggests Russian strikes on Ukrainian military installations could also include US bio-labs in the region, as the Russian government has for years accused the US of developing bio-weapons near its border.
The ulterior motive theory was put forth Thursday by Twitter user @WarClandestine, whose account was suspended soon thereafter. Fortunately, his thread was archived before the account was banned.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" readability="3.1168831168831">

Evidently there are several US bio-labs in Ukraine under the auspices of the US State Department’s <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://ua.usembassy.gov/embassy/kyiv/sections-offices/defense-threat-reduction-office/biological-threat-reduction-program/" target="_blank">Biological Threat Reduction Program</a>, an initiative where the US partners with other countries “to counter the threat of outbreaks (deliberate, accidental, or natural) of the world’s most dangerous infectious diseases.”
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img alt="" class="wp-image-161123" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" src="https://api-assets.infowars.com/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-24-at-6.12.15-PM.png" srcset="https://api-assets.infowars.com/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-24-at-6.12.15-PM-300x212.png 300w, https://api-assets.infowars.com/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-24-at-6.12.15-PM-768x544.png 768w, https://api-assets.infowars.com/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-24-at-6.12.15-PM.png 1000w" /></figure>
“The Biological Threat Reduction Program’s priorities in Ukraine are to consolidate and secure pathogens and toxins of security concern and to continue to ensure Ukraine can detect and report outbreaks caused by dangerous pathogens before they pose security or stability threats,” the Ukrainian US Embassy’s <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://ua.usembassy.gov/embassy/kyiv/sections-offices/defense-threat-reduction-office/biological-threat-reduction-program/" target="_blank">website</a> states.

The program also led to the creation of two bio-labs in Kyiv and Odessa in 2019, areas that were recently attacked by Russia.
According to a map circulating online, US-backed bio-labs are also located in Vinnystia, Uzhgorod, Lviv, Kherson, Ternopil, and near Crimea and Luhansk.

Meanwhile, Russia for years has raised concerns over the prospect the US is developing biological weapons along its border, with Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Nikolai Patrushev claiming last year there were clear signs dangerous pathogens at the labs could be used for military, or political purposes.

“You pay attention to the fact that in the world, more and more new biological laboratories under the control of the United States are growing by leaps and bounds. Moreover, by a strange coincidence – mainly at the Russian and Chinese borders,” Patrushev <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/4762137" target="_blank">said</a> last July, adding it’s unknown what really takes place within the walls of the facilities.
“We are told that peaceful sanitation stations operate near our borders, but for some reason, they are more reminiscent of Fort Detrick in Maryland, where Americans have been working in the field of military biology for decades. By the way, we should pay attention to the fact that outbreaks of diseases that are not typical for these regions are recorded in the surrounding areas,” Patrushev said.
Asked if he believed the US was developing bioweapons at the labs, Patrushev said, “We have good reason to believe that this is the case.”
“Not a day goes by at the headquarters of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) in The Hague that the Americans and their allies do not come forward with another chapter of the anti-Russian chemical dossier.”
As early as last October, China and Russia also jointly <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3151668/china-russia-ask-un-check-biological-warfare-capability-us-and" target="_blank">called on the UN to monitor the US’ possible development of bio-weapons</a>, releasing a statement saying, “in light of rapid advances in the field of science and technology with dual-use capabilities, the risk of biological agents being used as weapons has increased.”
“In this context [China and Russia] would like to call for attention that the United States’ and its allies’ overseas military biological activities (over 200 US biological laboratories are deployed outside its national territory, which function in an opaque and non-transparent manner) cause serious concerns and questions among the international community over its compliance with the BWC,” the joint statement said.
“The two sides share the view that such activities pose serious risks for the national security of [Russia and China], and are detrimental to the security of relevant regions.”
Moreover, as @WarClandestine noted, the two nations have indirectly blamed the US for the Covid-19 outbreak, which seems to be the case as more evidence has emerged the NIH did in fact fund gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology where the virus is suspected to have originated.
According to @WarClandestine, Putin’s use of the broad term “special military operation” and his vows to demilitarize and “denazify” Ukraine could be intentionally vague to obscure his true intention of taking out US bio-labs.

General Flynn and Steve Bannon Blast Biden Over Russia’s Ukraine Invasion

Former Trump National Security Advisor General Michael Flynn and former Trump advisor Steve Bannon both tore into Joe Biden on Thursday following Russia’s military advancement on Ukraine.
An optimistic Bannon thinks Biden will be impeached when Republicans have a majority in the House and Senate after the 2022 midterm elections.
Once that happens, Bannon says, “We’re going to get into every detail of every penny his family stole out of there from the Ukrainian people, from the kleptocrats in Ukraine that were his partners. We’re going to get to every penny of everything the Clintons and Biden and his corrupt Democrats have skimmed off the top.”
Regarding Russia’s military strikes on Ukraine, Bannon asked, “Where is the tough talk? Tough-talking Joe. They called your bluff dude.”
The Trump confidant continued, noting Putin’s acknowledgment of Ukraine being corrupted and looted by the Clintons and Bidens just as they have done in Sub-Saharan Africa and Haiti.
Bannon wondered, “Where is tough-talking Joe Biden? Is Hunter over there today? Is Hunter over there with his business partners, sitting there with a Ukraine flag? Where is Hunter? Is he in his art gallery? Is he with more strippers? Is he smoking more crack?”
Meanwhile, former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn published a written statement Thursday, writing, “With the price of oil pushing above $100 per barrel, the U.S. Stock market opening with heavy losses, more global economic challenges looming, the real potential for significant loss of life, and the international community in complete disarray with feeble attempts to condemn what was totally avoidable, we face the onset of another very grave and historic period of tension between competing ideologies and worse, the onset of WWIII.”
Flynn claimed the “invasion” was avoidable, explaining, “President Biden and his failed foreign policy team set the table and sent the invitation and President Putin came and spoiled the dinner party.”
<div class="EKid06YX"><a href="https://www.infowarsstore.com/specials-clearance/top-selling-products-sale?ims=nhapy&utm_campaign=topsellingproducts&utm_source=Infowars+Hero&utm_medium=banner&utm_content=topsellingproductshero" target="_blank"><img src="https://api.directus.libertycdn.com/uploads/_/originals/TSP-hero-385.jpg" /></a></div>
The general acknowledged, “there are fault lines on both sides,” before adding, “but, we must pray that those affected without an ability to decide their fate, are able to survive this extraordinary period of world history.”
There will be military members and civilians killed and wounded, but we must pray the scope of the war is limited, Flynn wrote.
The letter questions the Biden administration’s decision to shut down the Keystone pipeline and America’s energy independence while enabling Russia and Germany to reopen the Nordstream pipeline.
“Let us not forget the Afghanistan disaster, the myriad lies about COVID, a certain Biden-owned laptop, and a fraudulent presidential election that has massive amounts of evidence coming out daily…all while China gets a pass,” Flynn noted, citing these issues as reasons Americans distrust their government.
He added, “President Putin calculated this strategic, historic, and geographic play and made the decision to move, and he did. All that stated above, there will never be justification for this invasion or any other form of invasion. However, never forget that war results when diplomacy fails.”
“May God watch over and protect those in harm’s way and may God continue to bless and protect the United States of America,” Flynn concluded the statement.

<h2>The American Journal: Putin Launches Military Operation in Ukraine</h2>
Russia has launched a full-scale ‘shock and awe’ military operation against Ukraine only days after it supported the independence of two eastern breakaway regions of the country.
In only a few short hours, Russia took out all of Ukraine’s air defense systems, leading to Russian air superiority over the country.
It’s believed that Russia targeted Ukraine’s command and military infrastructure to neutralize its response against the breakaway regions.
