Team biden before invasion: "The sanctions will deter Putin from invading"; After invasion: "No one ever expected they would deter...:

For weeks the biden-ho regime has bleated that economic sanctions it threatened to impose on Russia would "deter" Putin from invading Ukraine.

State Department pencil-neck spokesliar Jake Sullivan and others kept repeating that every day.

So...after Putin invaded--clearly not deterred by porridgebrain's threat to impose economic sanctions, that created a small problem for porridgebrain:  How to make his regime's repeated claims that sanctions would deter invasion vanish--disappear?

Easy: Porridge simply stepped up to the podium and said "No one ever expected the sanctions would prevent" Russia from invading Ukraine.

Except his regime spouted that claim repeatedly, in an effort to show how tough porridgebrain was.  How he would stand up to bullies!  How he was always looking out for the American people!  How...you get it.  But it was all horseshit.  Putin ignored Biden's threat.  And understandably so: If you look at the memo listing the proposed sanctions, almost everything significant is "exempt"--i.e. won't be affected.  So it's like the "sanctions" consist of not letting five specific Russian oligarchs withdraw more than $1,000 per day from ATMs at Disneyland, or something equally useless.
