Sanctions on Russia have sparked conversation about the decline of the dollar but the real threat to the global currency system is potential US sanctions on China.
what ham failed yesterday and the fact that we always knew sanctions weren t going to be a deterrent when that was the messaging all along that they would be a deterrent for this impatient? two weeks ago national security advisor sullivan said it was to deter and yesterday president biden said no one was under that impression. but i think a similar messaging in afghanistan where they are trying to backwards rationalize here the sanctions unveiled yesterday were good appear they should have been sanctions unveiled a week ago. i m frustrated they did not go far enough. these were not the sanctions that were promised, they did not include russia from the swift, global currency system. it did not involve direct sanctions as putin himself. we need to be merciless with the economic isolation of russia a vladimir putin of belarus, and especially of the all the guards that have enriched themselves off of putin.
