Alternative Visions- USA’s Failing Russian Sanctions Regime: Russia vs. Germany
Alternative Visions - A podcast by Progressive Radio Network - Mondays
Categories:
today’s show focuses on the theme of the impact of Russian sanctions since the start of the Ukraine war. How the sanctions have failed to impact Russia’s economy while simultaneously helping to wreck Europe’s, and especially the core German economy of the EU. A review of the relative economic data. Also discussed, are the pending US House vote tomorrow likely to pass another $100B in war aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, which will include reportedly US approval to distribute the $300B in seized Russian assets ($240B in Europe banks). This is how the US plans to continue financial support for Ukraine war in 2025, after the $61B ‘bridge’ fund in the US House bill. The show also addresses how US economic policies (of which sanctions are just a part) have undermined Germany’s economy and are making Europe increasingly dependent on the US. Discussion of the latest developments in the Israel-Iran and Ukraine wars concludes the show.
