Our sanctions have had as much a deleterious effect on us as Russia.


I agree.

I think we already backed him into a corner. If you read Sun Tzu's "Art of War" that one of the main tenants of the treatise. You always leave your opponent an honorable retreat. You never back them into a corner where their only option is to fight to the death, and that is exactly what we (The Democrat "leadership") has done which is why we are here in the first place.
