Sanctions on Russia are ‘for losers'; chances of Fed tightening just tanked - Steve Hanke

(Excerpt) Read more at youtu.be ...

KEYWORDS: dontwork; russia; sanctions
A professor discusses many examples of prior sanctions. He does not, however, address tough sanctions imposed on Japan ahead of WWII -- just before they invaded Pearl Harbor. See the link below. Substitute the name Russia for Japan and it is eerily similar. https://bit.ly/3su2iMv

I agree.
When Putin says his nuclear arsenel is on alert, it may be a bluff in terms of scaring military support away from Ukraine, but it would not be a bluff at all if Moscow was attacked. When Putin says (paraphrasing) ‘Why should Russia not attack the world if the world wont have Russia?’, I believe he believes that. Their economy is tanking because of the sanctions and wars aren’t cheap.

You do know that would trigger a nuke response, right? Keeping it conventional means... keeping it conventional.

I would be OK with a small nuclear exchange if say, Russia nuked the top ten biggest democrat cities in the USA and we took out Moscow. That would be fair. /half sarc.

He already sees Moscow as under attack by the world, so does Xi, and Biden crime families are willing to facilitate mass murder to make this change.

Biden is in on this, make no mistake,
Our elections hacked and manipulated to get him in,
Covid lockdowns ending time for next step, in the war plan.
This will not stop, they must win now..

They are already mass murderers, what’s a few million more .

I thought a TV host, not Putin, said that.
