  • The CSIS Energy & National Security Program is pleased to invite you to Are Sanctions Working?, a conference examining the state of U.S. sanctions―what is different, what is and is not working, and implications for U.S. foreign policy, the global economy, and the energy sector.
    The United States has employed sanctions as a foreign policy mechanism for decades. In recent years, the United States has developed a new generation of more targeted, more agile economic sanctions. It has become increasingly reliant on these new tools, and its ambitions for their impact have increased.
    Whether more robust sanctions regimes have won any clear victories is a matter of debate. In the last three years, U.S.-imposed unilateral and secondary sanctions regimes have sought to influence North Korea, Russia, Iran, and Venezuela. But countries that have been subject to sanctions for years have found ways to adjust to U.S. moves.
    This conference will review the efficacy of the new style of U.S. sanctions, understand what is contributing to their success or failure, and gauge their future. Speakers will also explore how sustained use of sanctions is impacting one universally important sector: the energy sector.
    This event is made possible by general funding to CSIS and the CSIS Energy & National Security Program.

      I think a lot of politicians and particularly these State Department officials actually enjoy ruining the lives of millions and don't care how many people die as a result of being deprived of basic necessities because of economic sanctions. I think it's a plan to cause destabilization. I don't think it's about compeling regime change they have more effective methods for that such as arming an insurgency or rigging an election or assassinating the leader or invade them with a coalition of the willing.

    • @shadowreaver1851
      @shadowreaver1851 9 місяців тому +1

      The difference is the civilian population loses access to basic necessities like food, fuel, medical care and electricity. Sanctions create economic scarcity and cause massive inflation in the target nation. The standard of living and even the life expectancy of the population all go down. I don't know about black mail but it's easy to see the effect sanctions have on the average people who suffer under them. I think in Iraq alone before the 2003 invasion sanctions pushed under Clinton and Medline Albright killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians and that's just one nation for a period of just one decade. I can't imagine how bad sanctions have effected the people who live in North Korea and Cuba who have lived under US Sanctions for over 50 years.

    4:34 The lady called Sigal Mandelkar names a Russian businessman called Oleg Deripaska by name, calling him a Oligarch and trying to portray him as a bad guy or something,, so i checked the net who he was, turns out he is a rich businessman from Russia, a billionaire with investments mostly in metal and energy companies. But what she doesn't say about him is that in 2008-09, Deripaska helped the FBI in trying to get a captured FBI agent in Iran to be released from Iran using his personal contacts in Iran as he had business interests in Iran as the FBI were not allowed to help the captured agent ( his name was Levinson) , But it said that the then US Sec of State, Hillary Clinton would not let the FBI bring their own guy home, and that she stalled the process. But here's the most interesting fact, that the Deripaska businessman used his own money, about $25 million , to get the FBI guy out, but Hillary won't let it happen. ( just type his name and go to his wiki page, check it out along with all the articles at the bottom)
    Wikipedia said the FBI even thanked Deripaska for his effort.
    So my question is, how come a man who tried to help out the US to bring a US citizen to the USA from captivity in Iran is being portrayed as a bad guy in this forum?

      Deripaska is a businessman who was put into his current economic status, controlling a network of industry that had been a state asset in the USSR. The US had a great deal of influence on the Yeltsin government with US officials embedded in every main federal agency as "Advisors". In an attempt to break up the country into 8 small weak countries with western control of federal resources. One method was to force the government to perform a sudden massive privatization to sell off all the state assets, the industrial and resource segment that created the oligarchs who were government minor officials in the USSR. Many of them used corruption and violence but favored by the US "advisors" as cooperative with the goal of breaking up the country by removing state income from having those assets that paid for salaries, services, medical care, education etc for the people. Overnight the people stopped getting wages and services plunged the people who had lived their entire life of total security of incomes, products, services to overnight having none of the services or income they had grown up with knowing no alternative.
      The panel seems to be totally uninformed about Russia and probably get their information from US government agency statement and the highly corrupted uS media. Russia has had a continuously improving economy, quality of life, personal security to the point that now, 2023, despite 20,000 sanctions since 2004 even with the SMO proxy war with the US, the only countries which are seeing the negative impacts of the US sactions have been those countries tied closely to the US. Europe is crashing. The protests claimed in Moscow were tiny, and the key issue missed is they are not disrupted by police. Less than 0.2% of the city of supported them. The president of Russia is the most respected leader in the world, and has done more to grow the quality of life in Russia. There is no homeless in Russia, the cost of living is very low, free education with 2.3 times a higher percentage of citizens have graduated from college than the US, corruption has been almost eliminated, 3 times as many Russians, by percent, own their homes free and clear of debt, taxes are low, access to culture is the best in the world, minimum 58 days of paid vacation/holidays so adding in the nonpaid weekends, 72 vacation days, as a minimum. Often employers increase that. Constiniously improving health care, all free, that includes house calls by doctors(a lot of Americans go to Russia for medical services that they can't afford in the US, some see the vast difference in what is reported in the west and the reality of what they see, decide to move there). The services for families is unmatched by the west, with 3 years of paid family leave, and ease of starting a business that survives into profitability at rate far greater than the US really impacts the quality of life. Why do I know all this? Because I visited many times since 1976 USSR and after seeing the immidiate improvement in 2000 when president Putin entered the scene, I moved to Russia in March 2000 and have watched the country blossom and gain friends all over the non-US aligned countries. I moved from California where it was becoming hard to have a normal middle class life and have savings as debt for the entire population was exploding. I had done very well owning industry leading businesses but gave everything away and moved with zero debt. I arrived in a large city with two suit cases and $6000 not knowing the language, knowing how to support myself or where to live. It has been the most satisfying period of my life, 22 years with higher personal quality of life with zero stress, starting businesses in fields I had no experience in and having vast numbers of really good friends.
      The isolation attempt by the US has only broken the unipolar world so 75% of world population as of 2022, is in a new Multipolar world that is fully independent of US control. BRICS is the largest and fast growing trade pact in the world, plus SCO and BRI with country after country applying for membership. As OPEC moves to BRICS and dropping the Petro-dollar is a a game changer. Most of the world sees Russia as a more reliable honest partner than the US or EU. The sanctions have had devasting impact on Europe and only improved Russian standing with Asia, Central Asia, Middle East, Africa and South America. BRICS countries are growing, all the western countries controlled by the US are struggling with serious declines in quality of life and deepening debt. The new 2 pole world is seeing the economic and innovation center of the world shifting back to the east after 400 years dominated by Europe then the US since WW2.
      I return for visits to the US every 4-5 years and only see people who are angry, and afraid, very divided and subjected to the most intense propaganda system ever devised. Almost nothing claimed in western press about the rest of the world is true. Ask anyone who is a regular world traveler whether Americans are told the truth about any country. I have been in 92 countries and some are targetted to present a bad image such as China but no one who has been there before and then lately, can every believe it is the poor and repressed country claimed by the US.
      These panalists surely get their information from western generating media reports and government reports and do not know the reality on the ground.

      Fortunately for for the dollar there is no other currency from any country or countries that can replace it. The Euro? Not even close. The pound? They had their run at it, and it didn’t work out so well. China’s RMB? 😂. No country on the planet can trust China to ever hold their end of an agreement wether written or verbal. China is consolidating power and has severe economic challenges that are far worse than anyone really knows. Unless you work an intelligence agency. China’s economic “miracle” is over and globalization as we have come to expect is changing rapidly and China will be the loser. That said, the dollar is still the best house on a bad block. Russia attempted to dedollarize and it didn’t last very long. The Kremlin is now accepting dollars instead of RMB, because they are exchangeable on the open market………the RMB? Not at all. Simply put, if you don’t use the dollar you do much global trade.

    It's also worth pondering how much ammunition of various types the Ukrainian forces have available; and whether or not they are desperately trying to conserve, as well.
    While the date is highly important to Putin, it's reasonable to expect the next major Russian offensive to begin ahead of the 24th, so as to allow Putin to speak to impressive RESULTS, versus an impressive assault.
    That might be in the format of a major Ukrainian withdrawal of forces, as opposed to territory secured.
    By now Russia knows the location of any significant Ukrainian forces/resources and has the ability to stage a major attack with regular, precision and cruise missiles.
    There is also the suggestion that the Russians are on the brink of seriously attacking the transportation infrastructure in the Western areas, so as to at least severly slow down the "Western" delivery of arms and other material support.
    Nailing various transportation terminals and key bridges in the western areas with cruise missiles would probably be sufficient to hamper the resupply efforts and radically demoralize the Ukrainian military, in general.
    The idea that Putin would mention the use of nuclear weapons is absurd. That would be the wet dream of the so-called "West." Putin is neither that stupid nor brazen, contrary to the "Western" narrative, Putin is doing quite well without mentioning nukes.
    It's obvious that Ukraine/Zelensky is indulging in a lot of nonsensical lies, with respect to any serious damage to the Russians; particularly in regard to the claims of shooting down any serious percentage of Russian missiles and drones.
    It shouldn't be overlooked that Zelensky is seriously out of time to see the latest "allusions of grandeur" from the "West" actually delivered, let alone deployed.
    It's a tough call to make, but the ground is beginning to soften; and the Russians may be able to advance their tanks before Zelensky and Associates can adequately respond.
    It's obvious that the Russians have been conserving their ammunition, including missiles and drones. So any significant Russian assault might be a saturation of those, preparing for any ground resources to advance.
    Whatever the case, it's still a serious speculation game in the global public arena.
    What is certain is that it's not a good time to be a Ukrainian soldier. The Russians are guaranteed to have serious losses as well, but they'll have something to show for it.
    While the Ukrainians may have a major amount of resources in reserve, the public information to date don't seem to suggest a sufficient magnitude of resources to make much of a show/difference. Just the reports of the desperate reinforcements by the Ukrainians of late are particularly indicative of exhausted resources.
    It will be interesting to see what the obedient "Western" media platforms and personalities have to say, in the next few weeks. Whoever the so-called "West" may be aren't going to like what's about to happen. They have "balloons" and "flying objects" to worry about. The American public needs to be made to tremble in their 'uncertainty;' and be made to blindly trust the idiots inside the Beltway. That should keep at least the American personalities of the "West" a little bit distracted.
    Then, theres supposed to be a serious "peace" gathering in front of the Lincoln Memorial, the 19th. They might get labeled as "insurrectionists," and arrested en masse. Especially in the US, thing are that crazy.
    How does that go?

    Thank you, Dima! The same good thoughts for next year, for you and your family! About the situation on the front, some small details..An update that has been omitted so far should be mentioned. In the area of Chervonopopovka is a forest, with some heights, was conquered by the Russians yesterday. This stronghold it is very important for military actions in that area. There is another update, which was also not mentioned and it refers to the situation in Serebryanka (Krasno-Limansk front) where the Ukrainians lost 5 tanks only today. Otherwise, the situation is presented exactly as we know it... The Russian artillery is tireless...It is one of the reasons why the Ukrainians have these huge losses and have to make 2-3 rotations of troops in a relatively short time. Another reason would be the imbe*cility of the Ukrainian commanders who always send troops to areas where it is impossible to survive the Russian artillery. The Russians were not slowed down in certain areas on the front, they stopped to allow to the new Ukrainian troops to enter the areas controlled by the Russian artillery. In a few days we will see what will remain from these new and "famous" Ukrainian brigades... Trenches and fortifications full of Ukrainian corpses, as before. Yes, the "Orchestra" looks better and better ... If they succeeded in freeing Kleskevka, they will have only > in the western part of Bahkmut... Let's get ready for applause! A few words about the announcement made by the Minister of Defense of Ukraine. Many people say he is an imb*ecile. And I think it is so. This message tries to increase the state of unrest among the Russian civil society, it has no other purpose. And many believe that it is done out of desperation. The situation is not good at all for Ukrainians, no matter how we look at things. On the other hand, yesterday another important European politician, the former French president François Hollande admitted that through the Minsk agreements they tried to buy time to arm Ukraine, a fact already recognized by Angela Merkel and Tony Blair. This imb*ecile Ukrainian, together with the other idi*ots from the governments of Kyiv, preferred to build this worldwide lie about UNPROVOCATED Russian aggression, betting the lives of Ukrainian citizens for an illusory victory. A lot of people does not understand why some repeat what this Ukrainian minister says. The Ukrainian media is saturated with images of new cemeteries, with soldiers burying their comrades, dozens of new video materials with such things appear daily. How can an army win anything if it spends most of its time in cemeteries? That's what this idi*ot Rezn*ikov should try to stop, not to appear in the media eating sh*it about future alleged Russian recruitments. Now, it doesn't matter anymore, the damage has been done. Finally, again, a Happy New Year for you, who are reading these lines !!!!!

      How can you be unaware of the many times Putin and his officials have threatened nuclear strikes on Ukraine and the West? Do you think that claiming this didn’t happen makes it so? Only an extremely ignorant propagandist could make such claims, as though the whole world has not heard Putin’s threats. You are failing completely to influence anyone for the money Putin pays you. If you continue as a Russian bot, at least do some research to find out what the rest of the world knows about this war.

This will mean more budget busting U.S. spending on Ukraine aid that will actually hurt us economically. Our military industry can't help itself and would keep pushing for profits-Putin knows this. He will be smart to drag the war onto another winter to make Europe suffer and blame the U.S. especially since the U.S blew up the Nordstream pipelines. You will see European support of the war plummet and the Ukrainian army will be grounded and tired out.

    Any punishment that has no pedagogical dimension can be vain.
    For a sanction to work, it takes several things. The source of the sanction in terms of moral authority and the conception of the sanction. If the sanction isn't conceive such that the target can not only understand the pertinence of that sanction and also integrate it, sanction can be vain. Likewise if the target don't perceive the source as a moral authority, moral legitimacy due to the source's own contradictory attitudes, sanction can also be vain.

    When have sanctions ever worked? The US has sanctions on Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, North Sudan, Myanmar, and Russia. None of those Regimes have collapsed and most of the countries have been under one form of sanction or another continuously for many many years. Have sanctions prevented North Korea from developing nuclear weapons? Did sanctions compel Cuba to abandon Communism and embrace western capitalism? What effect did sanctions have on Iraq prior to being invaded? Sanctions have done nothing to deter Russia in it's ongoing war with Ukraine. It's easy to see that sanctions do not cause Regimes to fall or even to change their behavior. Venezuela underwent extreme inflation that resulted in widespread starvation and horrific crime and looting but the socialist dictatorship survived despite being sanctioned by the US and Europe. The only thing sanctions accomplish is dramatically lower the standard of living for the people that the West and the United States claims to be supporting. Sanctions destroy local businesses, lead to greater inflation, drive up energy costs and lower the standard of medical care. They make life totally miserable for the civilian population and yet they have never compelled an autocratic regime to change their behavior. The Irony is that by lowering the standard of living of the target nation, sanctions regimes tend to turn the people in those nations against the US and the West who are ruining their lives and making it much more difficult for them to live. Of course they might also blame the regime but most autocratic forms of government are highly adapt at controlling their citizens and no amount of pain or misery will compel these people to risk death and imprisonment by confronting their own government. The end result of sanctions is that it forces millions into poverty, dramatically lowers the standard of living and even effects the life expectancy of the target nation. Furthermore since the US uses sanctions on a large number of countries it has led many nations to abandon the dollar and embrace the Russians and Chinese efforts to create BRICKS. Sanctions are really a crime against humanity and an attack on the poor and most venerable in society, they ruin the lives of the poor and helpless and in the end all they do is make us even more unpopular and create the image of the American Bully who uses the dollar harass and bully other nations that don't bend the knee to Washington or Brussels. Honestly I think the people who push sanctions should have their bank accounts frozen and be denied access to medical care and not be allowed to shop for food or gas and just die like the millions of people who are languishing under US sanctions!

      I would argue sanctions are war by other means except instead of engaging the Regime directly through war your targeting the civilian population. In war that would be called a war crime and a crime against humanity but most people just call it US foreign policy. Personally I think sanctions are worse because they almost always result in the evil regime staying in power while the people lose access to medicine, food, fuel, electivity and other basic necessities. Sanctions can even kill. over a hundred thousand Iraqi's are reported to have died as a direct result of US sanctions imposed between the first and 2nd Iraq wars. At least the 2003 Iraq war ended the sanctions and probably killed less Iraqi's then the slow rot of plummeting living standards.
