ABC's Jonathan Karl baffled by Biden sanctioning 'everything but' Russian oil: 'Extraordinary'

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who also joined host George Stephanopoulos on Sunday's "This Week," interjected and quoted the late Arizona Sen. John McCain.

"John McCain used to say that Russia was a gas station masquerading as a country. And it was a great line. That's all they have," Christie said. Blinken said on March 4 that there was "no strategic interest" in banning Russian imports.

Jonathan Karl, who is worth millions of dollars, wonders why Biden will not plunge the economy into recession, while destabilizing the country with the largest nuclear stockpile.  Who wouldn't want to be president while that happens?

Biden is already doing a fine job of plunging the US into a recession.  But he is not willing to destabilize our second biggest threat.

As far as nuclear stockpiles go, the strategy that has prevented a Soviet attack for the last five decades is still in effect.  Not sure how Putin saying flippant things like "I will bury you" (oh wait, that was Khrushchev) would result in nuclear winter.
