Re: So, if sanctions don't deter
It was a clumsy retort.
I believe what is meant is that sanctions were not intended to preemptively deter, but instead to punish so much that their cumulative effect will cause Russia to cease its attack (sometime in the future).
Other interpretations? ....

I mean, it's not the first time he's said it, and others, including his VP, have directly contradicted his statement(s)

Re: So, if sanctions don't deter
He said sanctions aren’t for deterrent.
Pointing out he said and others previously said otherwise is whataboutism.

..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.
