Joe Contradicts Staff, Says Sanctions Won’t Deter Putin
25 Mar 2022
BUCK: “Their intention is to have a deterrent effect. That’s what the sanctions are for.”
Today Biden again said that sanctions would not “deter” Putin from invading Ukraine.
His administration said the EXACT OPPOSITE for weeks.

BUCK: Welcome back to Clay and Buck. I just wanted you to hear that. You probably recognize some of those voices. You got Psaki Bomb and the national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, who really… I don’t know how that guy became that, but he was a very big Russia collusion truther. So that’s all you need for a job in the Biden administration. But you heard them all saying it. “It’s about deterrence.” Now, that’s just interesting, because while this war is waging in Ukraine…
We’re going to have Jim Carafano. He’s an Army veteran at Heritage Foundation, national security expert, friend of mine, great guy. He’ll be joining Clay and me in a few minutes just to talk about where we are with this whole conflict. Just to update you, right? We have the biggest war in Europe since World War II. It’s important what’s going on. We have Biden talking about food shortages. This never should have happened. We never should have been in a position to have to even have to deal with this conflagration. If it had been prevented, right, that’s the best. They said sanctions will do it, and Biden said just last night, this…
"I did not say in fact sanctions would deter [Putin]," Pres. Biden says. "Sanctions never deter."
"The maintenance of sanctions, the increasing the pain…that's what will stop him."
"The single most important thing is for us to stay unified." https://t.co/4giuKWjYUv pic.twitter.com/OZPPZkEUVv

CLAY: (chuckling)
BUCK: You know, Clay, I think that the reason we keep talking about sanctions as a deterrent, is because in the weeks leading up to the conflict, they kept saying, “These sanction are a deterrent.”
CLAY: Yeah, and it’s just amazing how quickly people are allowed to move on from whatever they’ve argued as if they never argued it before.
