S1 EP 104: Joe Biden's new sanctions on Russia and how a war with Russia would be catastrophic.

President Joe Biden announced sanctions that will hit the Russian economy after Putin started an invasion of Ukraine. Russia's parliament gave Putin permission to use military force outside the country. German chancellor says the government will "reassess" certification of Nord Stream 2. President Joe Biden Tuesday said Russia's actions in Ukraine will trigger massive sanctions, a response he has been threatening for weeks as President Vladimir Putin built up troops on Ukraine's borders. In a speech from the White House, Biden said the Russian leader has committed "a flagrant violation of international law." I say we are making a HUGE mistake and we shouldn't even be concerned with Ukraine right now as the United States is facing the highest inflation we've seen in 40 years and we still have issues with are supply chain that remain unresolved. A war with Russia would be catastrophic to the United States in general and it's economy. --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/lee-leffingwell/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/lee-leffingwell/support</a>
