The sanctions Biden announced this afternoon, while extreme, are not as extreme as they could be.
Germany and the rest of Europe were dealing with insanely high energy prices before the war which have only skyrocketed higher since the war kicked off. Germany has already made it clear they don't want to kick Russia out of SWIFT.
