I missed any mention of providing Ukraine with additional arms, or dollars
for that matter.
And calling those sanctions "harsh" may be generous. Blocking exports of some, not even all, of Russia's high tech imports, freezing bank assets abroad, and blocking any access to financial markets? No blocking from the SWIFT system. No sanctions on Putin himself. No blocking of oil/gas exports or agri exports or imports. Vlad must be laughing if Joe thinks that's "harsh".
I also heard no mention of doing anything to help Ukraine with the incredible imbalance Vlad has in the air. More anti-aircraft defense systems? A no fly zone?
If the last 24 hours wasn't enough to cause us and our allies (especially Germany) to go strong, I'm not sure what type of "minor incursion" would be required for them to do so.
