The Biden administration declared a national emergency on Thursday, slapping sanctions on more than three dozen people in Russia and expelling 10 diplomats, in an about-face after President Biden pulled back two warships heading to the Black Sea.
Biden signed an executive order detailing Russia’s actions in the SolarWinds cyber-intrusion and its interference in the election, accusing the Kremlin of working to “undermine the conduct of free and fair democratic elections and democratic institutions in the United States and its allies and partners,” according to a statement from the White House.

Biden sanctions Russia, expels diplomats over election interference
President Joe Biden on Thursday declared that the U.S. faces a “national emergency” over an array of malign actions from Russia, imposing new sanctions on the Russian government and expelling 10 Kremlin diplomats from the United States.
The moves are part of an intensifying U.S. campaign to punish Moscow over its attempted interference in the 2020 U.S. election, its occupation of Crimea and other actions.

Why would they. HE IS IN the CCP’s back pocket.
A “national emergency?!” I don’t think so. Does slo Joe know that he called this a national emergency?

THE ENTIRE DNC establishment, from politicians, to voters, to indoctrinators in school, to anti-social media, is a national emergency!

This DemWit will start a war and then try to blame it on Trump, somehow.
