<p>Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) slammed Democrat President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration during an interview with The Daily Wire this week, saying that the sanctions that Biden was wanting to put on Russia were nothing more than a &#8220;slap on the wrist.&#8221;</p>
<p>The remarks from Tuberville come as Russian President Vladimir Putin has amassed approximately 190,000 troops near the Ukraine border for what many experts say is an imminent invasion.</p>
<p>“The sanctions that they want to put on [Russia] are nothing, it’s kind of like a slap on the wrist,” Tuberville said. “We’ve come up with sanctions on the Republican side that are real strong, pre and post, if they come in. So, I think it&#8217;s a huge mistake that we haven’t put some sanctions on at the beginning, said, ‘Hey, this is the start. This is how it&#8217;s gonna work. And if you think about going in, then they&#8217;re gonna get much worse.’ They need to feel that.”</p>
<p>Tuberville mentioned the importance of going after insurance companies with sanctions if they try to insure the Nord Stream 2 pipeline because that would help to keep it offline, which would be devastating to Russia&#8217;s economy.</p>
<p>The senator added that regional entities had more responsibility for what was going on than the U.S. did, and that China is what the U.S. needed to be focused on.</p>
<p>“We know that NATO and the European Union, this is much more their responsibility — it’s really not ours. We are in NATO,” he continued. “But at the end of the day, you know, we just got out of a war; we don&#8217;t want in another war. Plus, we know our number one adversary doesn’t just want a little power like Russia, China wants to rule the world. So, our focus needs to be more on that.”</p>
