<p>Vice President Kamala Harris claimed on Sunday that sanctions that the Biden administration is considering imposing on Russia if it invades Ukraine, which critics have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/senator-tuberville-focusing-on-china-more-important-than-russia-they-want-to-rule-the-world">said</a> amount to little more than a slap on the wrist, could deter Russian President Vladimir Putin, despite <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-02-20/harris-says-u-s-convinced-putin-has-mind-made-up-on-ukraine">claiming</a> on Saturday that Putin has already &#8220;made his decision.&#8221;</p>
<p>“If you believe Putin has made up his mind, what leverage do you really have?” a reporter asked. “Why not put those sanctions in place now?”</p>
<p>&#8220;The purpose of the sanctions has always been and continues to be deterrence. But let’s also recognize the unique nature of the sanctions that we have outlined,&#8221; Harris claimed. &#8220;These are some of the greatest sanctions, if not the strongest, that we’ve ever issued. As I articulated yesterday, it is directed at institutions — in particular, financial institutions — and individuals, and it will exact absolute harm for the Russian economy and their government.&#8221;</p>
<p>“But if Putin has made up his mind, do you feel that this threat that has been looming is really going to deter him?” the reporter pressed.</p>
<p>“Absolut- — we strongly believe — and remember also that the sanctions are a product not only of our perspective as the United States, but a shared perspective among our allies,” Harris claimed. “And the allied relationship is such that we have agreed that the deterrence effect of these sanctions is still a meaningful one, especially because — remember, also — we still sincerely hope that there is a diplomatic path out of this moment. And within the context then of the fact that that window is still opening, altho- — open, although it is absolutely narrowing — but within the context of a diplomatic path still being open, the deterrence effect, we believe, has merit.”</p>
