Funny … The USA threatens Russia with new sanctions

White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan claims that Russia will have catastrophic consequences if it decides to use nuclear weapons.

If Russia crosses this line there will be catastrophic consequences for Russia. The United States will respond decisively. Now, in private channels, we have spelled out in greater detail exactly what that would mean – Saliven told NBC .

He also announced new sanctions against Russia if the Russian Government adopts referendums on the annexation of the occupied Ukrainian territories to Russia.

–  There will be consequences, and this will include additional stronger sanctions against companies and entities outside of Russia that support the Russian military machine or these fake referendums – Saliven pointed out and added:

• We want to emphasize that there will be catastrophic consequences, but not enter into a rhetorical discussion. So the Russians understand where we are, we understand where we are, we plan for every contingency and we will do what it takes to dissuade Russia from taking this step. And if they do, we will respond decisively.

National security adviser Jake Sullivan tells @GStephanopoulos that the U.S. has “communicated directly, privately to the Russians at very high levels that there will be catastrophic consequences for Russia if they use nuclear weapons in Ukraine.” https://t.co/WjkMx7W8gE pic.twitter.com/UA6ISv0M5a
