Top Ex-Trump official praises Biden for uniting the West against Putin
New York (CNN Business) Former Trump national security adviser H.R. McMaster said Russian President Vladimir Putin has been caught off guard by the West's united front deploying tough sanctions in response to the invasion of Ukraine — and that the Biden administration deserves credit for helping foster that unity.
"Putin perceived weakness and disunity," McMaster, a retired Army lieutenant general, told CNN in a phone interview.
"But what he got instead was an extremely high degree of unity."
Sanctions levied on Russia have left the country's economy in tatters. The ruble is barely worth a penny, the Russian stock market has been shut for a month and Moscow is at risk of its first international default in more than a century.
"The Biden administration deserves credit for the degree with which they fostered international unity against Russia, especially in economic and diplomatic realms," said McMaster, now a senior fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution.

I could not have been more relieved when the President said those 9 words and the speech he made. Then he refused to walk it back himself yesterday at the news conference. That was a show of strength.
No malarkey!

Agreed! This was criticized, mocked, and ridiculed by the pro-fascist morons on certain networks, websites and social media but is lauded by about 90% of the world community.
And certainly in direct contrast to the previous guy [as my colleague KellyM so accurately pointed out previously] when trump in Helsinki, virtually knelt before the russian communist dictator, dropped his red-white-blue skirt and "Old Glory panties,"
and handed Putin a bottle of lube

Russia said on Sunday it was counting on China to help it withstand the economic blow from Western sanctions over the illegal attack on Ukraine.
But the Biden admin warned Beijing not to provide that lifeline.
U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, who is due to meet with China's top diplomat Yang Jiechi in Rome on Monday, warned Beijing it would "absolutely" face consequences if it helped Moscow evade sweeping sanctions over the war in Ukraine.

Russia faces deep recession that will 'only get deeper,' Treasury official says
CNN, Fri April 1 New York (CNN Business)Sanctions leveled on Russia have pushed the country toward becoming a closed economy, a status the country is ill-equipped to handle, a senior Treasury official said on Friday. "The economic consequences Russia is facing are severe: high inflation that will only get higher, and deep recession that will only get deeper," the official told reporters during a conference call. Among other steps, Western powers have frozen about half of Russia's foreign reserves, banned certain Russian banks from the high security SWIFT banking network and blocked exports of key technology to Russia. The United States has also prohibited the import of Russian oil, natural gas and petroleum products.

"Russia has been backed into a corner to becoming a closed economy, and Russia is in fact one of the most ill equipped countries to do well as a closed economy," the senior Treasury official said.
The official predicted Russia will have a lot of trouble being isolated on the world stage because it has long relied on the sale of raw materials to buy consumer goods and sophisticated equipment for production.
