Klain: Sanctioning Russian Oil Would Hurt Unity That’s Made ‘the Sanctions Work’
breitbart ^ | 3 Mar 2022 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 03/04/2022 3:08:16 PM PST by MarvinStinson

On Thursday’s “Pod Save America,” White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain argued that sanctioning Russia’s oil and gas would make it difficult to keep the coalition the U.S. has assembled to sanction Russia together, and “The unity is what makes the sanctions work.”

Co-host Jon Favreau asked, “Some Republicans are now saying that what would really hurt their economy and their ability to fight this war is ending oil and gas imports. If Russia continues to escalate, are energy sanctions on the table?”

AD Klain responded, “I think we start from the premise that the goal is to cripple the Russian economy, not cripple the American economy. And I think we need to be very careful about how these sanctions work. Why are they so successful? Look, this is the largest set of sanctions that have ever been applied against a large country. It’s hard to sanction a very large country that’s interconnected with the world economy. They’ve been successful at doing catastrophic damage to the Russian economy. Because we’ve built this coalition of countries that have participated and all agreed to apply these sanctions. That includes our European allies, it includes the United Kingdom, it includes Japan and Australia, Canada, of course, a wide array of countries. And so, as we go forward, we need to keep that unity. The unity is what makes the sanctions work. And I think that’s the first principle. … We’ve got to keep everyone together. Once you get to these sanctions on oil and natural gas, it gets more complicated on keeping everyone together.”

Same strategy with Covid - let’s do tons of damaging things that have no chance of victory.

Same strategy with Afghanistan too.

Come to think of it, it’s what Washington does with every “war” it declares, from drugs to poverty to whatnot, even the wars the parties and special interests fight with each other. Defeat is assured, but let’s fundraise along the way.

They had no intention of backing Ukraine, and sanctions are only implemented to the point where it affects Western politicians poll numbers

Maybe Ukrainians will eventually realize - they got USED by the DC cabal and NATO to confront Russia.

Follow the money trail from Russia to Ron Klain’s various accounts (pay particular attention to Swiss and Cayman Islands accounts).

He means that the only way a coalition sticks together is through bribing them with Russian oil while supporting the fight against Russia.

To even the most casual observer in just about any nation on earth it should be evident that the people they have entrusted with the responsibility of running their various nations have basically sold out their own countries repeatedly for personal gain. We look at the unbridled corruption in other countries and shake out heads, but it’s as bad or worse right here in the good ole USA.
