Economic sanctions on Russia will be fueling global inflation (given Russia is a key exporter of metals, oil and gas), and cutting global agricultural output (fertilizers). As it is a double-edged sword, it is a question of time and likewise a question of tolerance level before one side is forced to change course. For example, if the inflation level were to explode to double digits, is the West still in a position to tolerate it? My guess is the West (particularly the USA) will be the first to founder as things drag on. My second guess is Russia is going to accelerate the assault on Ukraine.
How do you see foundering to manifest? Will the US lift its sanctions? Will the US release SWIFT blocks? That would appear to be the same as capitulation.
@@Daniel-iv6kb Temporary, just like COVID aftereffects? That's still years to go, and the world economy is already in shambles.

One exceptional case of a country that has recently managed to receive international recognition of its independence without the consent of the authority from which it tried to break away is Kosovo. Kosovo is recognized by over half of the UN’s member countries, including the US, but is not recognized by the UN itself. It is also not recognized by Serbia, the country from which it broke away. Serbia has never granted permission to Kosovo to be independent, and still claims it as its territory. But because the US is the world’s most powerful country, with the world’s biggest economy and most powerful military force, it has effectively been able to decide whether or not a country gains independence. In addition, once the US recognizes a country’s independence, it often provides assistance and protection to that country, as is the case with Kosovo.
But Kosovo is small and inexpensive to support..... Ukraine has over 44 million and is rapidly becoming 3rd world between Russian artillery and American weapons.... There's no way the USA will support "Ucraine" forever. The Ucranians are screwed.
do you really think the US is the most powerful country, with the world’s biggest economy and most powerful military force? military force - is nothing against nuclear.. us dollar right now is most usable currency in world, but what's happens if most country stop to use us dollar? i think, you'll see soon the true power of us dollar.
Well why was America not sanction for invading Iraq and Afghanistan? - and don’t say “America was fighting Terrorism” as there was no eveidence of WMDs in Iraq. America is just as bad. They destabilise countries for oil and Gold and the world is supposed to praise america

People are stupid, that's all. Those same people, who say to sanction everything will soon realize that they can't buy things they want and that they are quickly turning destitute.
And yet all of this could have been avoided if Ukraine excepted a package with billions from Russia, before it actively sought to seek membership into NATO. According to Russia, they wanted Ukraine to continue to remain an independent, sovereign and neutral country without weapons. Didn’t it sound like the offer of billions to Ukraine for its neutrality from Russia, like an action to build Ukraine? (It’s just an analysis of the events)
@@CatsInHats-S.CrouchingTiger Why translate it to neutrality ? Why not for that exiled president to be loyal to Russia ?

Why force Ukraine to stay poor with Russia or Belarus ? Why stop them from seeking to be better life , to be like other eastern European countries like Poland - who is so much better than the day being under German or Russian threat
Yes only thing is there won't be a country called Ukraine left anymore. So US and EU can use that money and use it as toilet paper. Days for Euro and Dollars are gone, as world has seen theirs no point of keeping money into these countries. Just another 10-20 years and world will have economic and military gains called China
President Putin WILL NOT RUN OUT OF MONEY if he decides to stop the flow of gas to EU. Russia has doubled its export to China and India by passing the sanctions. Besides Russia is an export of wheat and many other commodities for which now requires payment in local currency or gold.
A major self sufficient country like russia can survive some how even being plugged off the world economy. And can control inflation easily as when compared to have international funds pouring in for any reason (opening a company).

Russia has been sanctioned since 2014, but Russia is getting bigger and stronger. And there are still many countries don't sanction Russia, including our country which is rich in nature.

The US government is the largest terrorist organisation in the world and even so it is not sanctioned. Sanctions are nothing more than political choices to try to subdue your opponent by causing suffering in the civilian population. For a country that literally bombs children everyday around the world, it's nothing
@@apexcrypto01 Many mothers in my country, Brazil, did cry when the US established a brutal military dictatorship for 20 years that killed almost 9 thousand people and 3 million by famine. So shut up you and your interventionism, you know nothing about what NATO does around the world
Putin in 2014 got sanctioned yet he used that as an opportunity to redesign the economy of Russia, Actually European countries that took part in the sanctions lost and Russia gained by manufacturing what was imported locally including cheeses that were previously imported from Italy....Putin also stopped importing food items from Europe and instead started importing Chinese agricultural produce
“Completely redesigned their economy” by increasing their external reserves that were blocked by European and American restrictions. 😂 The Russian economy will melt in the following months. Just watch internet boy.
Putin now has a Russia that will soon look like North Korea with people lining up for bread like the good old days of USSR. He is a KGB moron living in the past and convinced of his ideological superiority over the West. In his delusion, he is a genius playing chess with idiots but it seems like all his moves in the past 30 days are being outplayed by Ukraine and NATO and his long-game looks very weak indeed.
In these kinds of cases of extreme aggression & state violence, global allies must bring to bear all the tools they have at their disposal, including severe sanctions. We must collectively bear the pain to protect our future, our values and our individual states. There are no other options. Any talk of sanctions ‘backfiring’ is not only not useful at the moment, it could be considered treacherous. We know what happens when we fail to do what we need to do in the face of bullying aggression.
US Sanctions appear to be Bullying efforts against free trade? The Asian Producers efforts to counter the US attempts to insure the GDP of the US remains positive, appear to be losing power? A balanced look at World Affairs is needed.....
Pre-war, everyone said Russia was merely a regional power due to its shrinking economy. Today I believe it’s still a global power, at least till its loss of this war.

Seems like no one ever backs down but the right thing to do is still the right thing to do. Also got me thinking would the total absence of gas move us rapidly to all electric vehicles certainly we would need major haul in public transportation systems.
...No it absolutely wouldn't Lithium Battery Supply chains would cripple if demand spiked that high chip supply would also be affected not to mention they're a high upfront cost for majority of the population and range affordability isn't in the place where it needs to be yet. The charging infrastructure also is not as reliable as it should be.
You guys I'm saying what would happen if gas colapsed we see the high prices I mean we can only afford so much at such a high price. The first option would be the bus. Then we would have to build like a train literally on the highway with many exits. Come on guys we gonna think outside the box and always be positive no matter what.
🇬🇧Enjoy your meal. More than 10,000 pubs and restaurants may close in the UK due to rising prices. According to the Daily Mail, the inflation in the restaurant business in the United Kingdom ranges from 13% to 17% Already, about 20 thousand enterprises are operating below the break-even point due to inflation, rising energy prices and rent increases. We need more sanctions!
A decoupling of physical commodities from Western commodity markets and the dollar is accelerating rapidly in emerging markets, China, India, etc. This has created a difficult situation for the West, as additional sanctions devalue the Ruble in WESTERN exchanges, China/India/Russia and other NEW financial alliances are reaping a commodity windfall as inflation devalues the purchasing power of the OLD WORLD Dollar/Pound dominated markets, these new markets are realizing dramatic discounts. The media is focused on Oil and Gas today, tomorrow it will be wheat, next week it will be steel, a month later it will be noble gasses. I believe Western Europe's centuries old, historical bias towards Russia has contributed to what will become the final chapter in Western influence.
I couldn’t agree more, time to stock up on rubles while they are cheap. I think there is a good chance Thr ruble will become a reserve currency in Thr next 24 months. Especially with Russia now demanding gas payments in rubles.
Did people forget about BRICS? Russia's economic downfall is going to be a real boon to China. China is going to try to position itself to be a superpower and act as the West's gateway to Russia.
Agreed. This may finally be de defining moment for everyone in the world to see the West hypocrisy on the so called Rule of Law/Personal Assets/Money or Gold to be easily frozen. The whole system based on the confidence are in jeopardy now.
So what are they trying to say that the downturn will cause them to do as bad as the USA. A country that's suffering a downturn is causing a downturn in another country as punishment. This is contributing to a global economic downturn. Which is stupid.
Yeah, that was pathetic. He didnt fully blame Russia but only mentioning Russia name in a Federal Reserve press conference about interest rates is really scapegoating. US looking more like a bananac republic or some communist country nowadays instead of the supermega "free market leader" it should be.
Off course sanctions hurt AMERICANS the most. We don't produce ANYTHING here so anything we import these IDIOTS are paying for it and don't realize it 🤣🤣🤣
The question of sanctions is not only economic, is also moral. How could we witness Putin killing innocent people and children while we make sure our economy and with it our lifestyle is not hurt because we keep buying his products? Isn’t that immoral ?
Some people compare the Russian invasion to Japan’s Pearl Harbor attack but it’s totally different. 1) The United States sanctioned severely Japan before Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. To Japan, it was survival war. 2) Pearl Harbor was an military base. Japan never attacked any civilian facilities. Battle is between soldiers- not for women or children. That’s Samurai spirits. 3) The United States is the one who targeted civilians. In Tokyo & Osaka bombardment and Hiroshima & Nagasaki nukes, more than 300,000 innocent civilians were killed by the US. I’m not blaming the US. I just want to say that this Russian invasion and Pearl Harbor have totally different background.
On the surface it has more in common with the invasion of Iraq. The invasion of a sovereign country, without provocation, based on a pretext of lies, and without justification of self defense.
Dee Yanase, please study what the Japanese Imperial Army did to men, women, and children in China, in Manchuria, in the Phillipines, Korea, in Indonesia, and on countless other territories. Japan's treatment of civilians during WW2 often times was worse than what the Nazis did. Pacific rim nations still hate Japan for it to this day. Look up Unit 731 while you are at it. Japan was arguably the most evil country in WW2. Also, those sanctions were given to Japan in response to its invasion of China. Hard to call something a "war of survival" when it was started by your being an imperialist.
I very much doubt it, They knew that some sanctions would come. They never expected those sanctions would block their access to Swift, Also the assets and wealth they had hidden through multiple Shell companies they thought that they were safe. Because its in Democratic law abiding countries they have their wealth stored. And to come to terms with the luxurious life them and their families have enjoyed for so long just come to a halt! Desperately trying to escape with their Yachts and Private planes. Just to be intercepted by the Coastguard. You have no access to your money, all your wealth has been frozen. And trust me we are not even done yet, Putin and Russia always talks tough and insults the West. He thought that their soft approach where they tried to increase trade and cooperation would create stability was a sign of the West being Soft. That is over now! The passive approach are over, And the EU members are going to build one of the strongest and most capable defense forces in the world.
People who criticize the sanctions for not preventing the war are missing the point. It's about accountability and future deterrence. The message must be sent to dictators around the world that attacking their neighbor could lead to their own economic ruin. Because everyone is better off when the world is at peace.
Wow, are you a genius? Imagine that your house has been bombed by your own country (Ukraine) since 2014! Your children, wife, parents are dead, there is nothing left.

There was once a country on the road to freedom when it was waylaid by a neighbouring country, robbed and left to die on the wayside. An important NATO country passed by and crossed the other side of the road since its delegation had an important meeting on security. Another country belonging to the European Union passed by, but its members had a meeting in Brussels about who could and couldn’t join them. Finally, an unaligned country came by and immediately reached down to help the beleaguered country with whatever it needed to repel the enemy. It leant it fighter planes to secure the skies and anti-artillery batteries to protect its cities. In the words of the Master, “which one was the good neighbour?”

You know what are the conditions to end war , its not a land grabbing war . Why did it happen? What were past conditions on both sides since when the negotiations been going on , who move away first from the table of talks?
Alexander Hotz is wrong when he says "the first move was made by western governments when they targeted Russia's banking system." (2:06) The first move was made when the Russia government chose to invade their sovereign neighbor. But if we're going to talk about the business aspect, that's just it: geopolitical uncertainty is always an inherent risk in the market - and sometimes the market cuts a loss; accept that's never going to change. A lot of companies and their investors are going to lose most if not all their investments tied to Russia, but the fault lands squarely on President Putin. He started this war and if investors lose their investments and the economy suffers we need to look at the man who decided to launch this invasion in the first place - the single man whose ill-fated, poorly calculated, and totally unnecessary decision to attack Ukraine has led us to where we are now. But I'm also shocked that so many economists are so shocked. There is nothing shocking about this. Investment brings with it no guarantee of return and doing business in and with countries like Russia, autocratic regimes with long histories of political unpredictability, carries with it enormous risk - risk that can never be mitigated. If you don't have the stomach for that kind of financial risk you should have bought t-bonds and Swiss francs and stayed away from Rubles and the MOEX. Regimes like this are, no matter how hard they try, wholly incapable of providing a stable business environment for more than a couple decades. The folie de grandeur of a despot is almost always the inevitable end to autocratic regimes the world over and subsequently too the business interests dependent on them. No one should be shocked that doing business with Putin's Russia was a huge risk which, as it looks, won't be producing any returns on investment. But hey, c'est la guerre...
I'd rather take on the effects higher prices for some time than to support the bombing of schools and hospitals in a free country. And I hope any person with a soul and a desire for liberty would do the same.
Russia will be affected by The usa and japanesw sanctions cuz their economies are strong and Russia depends a lot on them because of the dollar and technology from both countries. The other sanctions will not be affected by Russia.

@@maryanchabursky9148 Exactly my point. So it's moot when either side tries telling the other what to do is good or bad because at the end of the day both countries will make their own decisions. Moreover no one cares since people die in war zones daily but somehow the US is making this out to be the next Third Reich, which is utterly inaccurate and a wild accusation. Just as wild as Russia saying there are Neo-Nazis in Ukraine. Neither side has any real legitimacy to anything they do but says the other is the bad one.
@@Fuzzle1985 no, my point is that the USA us absolutely justified in it's criticism (also as a Ukrainian, and given Russias war crimes there are certinly strong parallels between modern day Russia and nazi Germany). The fact that the USA did bad things previously doesn't mean they can't criticize bad things now. If you want to criticize both thats fine, but Ukraine is being discussed here. If when discussing USA invasion of Iraq someone kept bringing up all the bad things other countries criticizing the USA did, you would be justified in thinking that they were justifying the USA with "whataboutism".
I am in a war against unfairness. Everything else is irrelevant. Right, left, and any type of government or religion is secondary to ordinary fairness for everyone. We have to have a north star, a focus to keep us on correct coarse. We need a new political movement worldwide for this goal.
what exactly are the alternatives here? 1) let russia invade ukraine and give it as an example to china to invade taiwan? 2) openly wage war against russia and invade them?
Or they shouldn't have staged a color revolution in Ukraine, supported ultranationalist groups to overthrow the government in order to install a loyal government to the US. They shouldn't have aggressively expanded towards Russia's borders knowing full well that this would pose a threat to Russia's security. They wanted the war to begin, and now they want it to be as long as possible, to weaken Russia as much as possible. Even if the war in Ukraine never happened, a reason for sanctions against Russia would have always been found.
@@BattousaiHBr No it isn’t lol. Not denying them has lead to this war. NATO is not in Ukraine now, it was never going to be, and had it made that clear in the beginning then at least Ukraine wouldn’t be turned into a failed state.

Build more sweet crude refineries in the U.S, Kick start fracking to drive down oil prices and our farmers will be more than happy to plant wheat, but with oil prices as high as they are and the uncertain future around elevated wheat prices farmers are reluctant to increase production, it's a gamble. Or subsidize them, that will be faster.
Atleast this is happening right before spring in the Nothern Hemesphere. The US has got to take into account the food prices and such and make sure that we can produce and add to the rest of the countries trying to grow food otherwise poor countries with have unintentional genocide due to hunger. I have a feeling though that we(the world) should be able to accomplish this as long as we are talking about it right now in the highest levels of government. This needs to be addressed.
Please keep supporting Ukraine. We, Ukrainian people, appreciate your support, we are fighting not for ourselves, we are fighting for freedom in our world. Each Ukrainian stands now to stop russia & putin. Glory to Ukraine!
Thanks to the sanctions of the wonderful European Union, one of the best bank in Hungary (Russian Sberbank) was expelled here, which only ended with the fact that, for example, companies could only transfer their money to their new bank with an extra expense. Furthermore, fertilizer production has come to a complete halt due to uncertainty in the supply of raw materials. The Hungarian government has banned the export of basic food and, as we know, a lot of food source material flows to the western countries, from Hungary so if there is food in Hungary, tie up your pants dear western citizens, because you will starve! But congratulate to your very clever west leaders for bringing back the Middle Ages pretty slowly. Not to mention, our government - luckly - was so clever that natural gas supply containers are are in the highest level, so the price and safety here in Hungary are far safer than it is in the west right now. How good is the European Union and its fantastic rainbow policy? You decide!
That is why Putin invaded, make other countries weaker economically, so Russia can catch up. Europe and Asia will always buy Putin's oil, Russia and Ukraine export 25% of world's wheat combined.

Economic sanctions on Russia will be fueling global inflation (given Russia is a key exporter of metals, oil and gas), and cutting global agricultural output (fertilizers). As it is a double-edged sword, it is a question of time and likewise a question of tolerance level before one side is forced to change course. For example, if the inflation level were to explode to double digits, is the West still in a position to tolerate it?
My guess is the West (particularly the USA) will be the first to founder as things drag on. My second guess is Russia is going to accelerate the assault on Ukraine.
The inflation will be temporary until other countries/companies upscale their production on said resources to take advantage of the lower supply.

One exceptional case of a country that has recently managed to receive international recognition of its independence without the consent of the authority from which it tried to break away is Kosovo. Kosovo is recognized by over half of the UN’s member countries, including the US, but is not recognized by the UN itself. It is also not recognized by Serbia, the country from which it broke away. Serbia has never granted permission to Kosovo to be independent, and still claims it as its territory. But because the US is the world’s most powerful country, with the world’s biggest economy and most powerful military force, it has effectively been able to decide whether or not a country gains independence. In addition, once the US recognizes a country’s independence, it often provides assistance and protection to that country, as is the case with Kosovo.

And yet all of this could have been avoided if Ukraine excepted a package with billions from Russia, before it actively sought to seek membership into NATO.

President Putin WILL NOT RUN OUT OF MONEY if he decides to stop the flow of gas to EU. Russia has doubled its export to China and India by passing the sanctions. Besides Russia is an export of wheat and many other commodities for which now requires payment in local currency or gold.

Let's no delay what this war is about Russia vs USA
Some people compare the Russian invasion to Japan’s Pearl Harbor attack but it’s totally different.
1) The United States sanctioned severely Japan before Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. To Japan, it was survival war.
2) Pearl Harbor was an military base. Japan never attacked any civilian facilities. Battle is between soldiers- not for women or children. That’s Samurai spirits.
3) The United States is the one who targeted civilians. In Tokyo & Osaka bombardment and Hiroshima & Nagasaki nukes, more than 300,000 innocent civilians were killed by the US.
I’m not blaming the US. I just want to say that this Russian invasion and Pearl Harbor have totally different background.
On the surface it has more in common with the invasion of Iraq. The invasion of a sovereign country, without provocation, based on a pretext of lies, and without justification of self defense.
But the US targeted civilian Japanese in one the most horrendous acts of war crimes and here they're know preaching about global peace and freedom.
Dee Yanase, please study what the Japanese Imperial Army did to men, women, and children in China, in Manchuria, in the Phillipines, Korea, in Indonesia, and on countless other territories. Japan's treatment of civilians during WW2 often times was worse than what the Nazis did. Pacific rim nations still hate Japan for it to this day. Look up Unit 731 while you are at it. Japan was arguably the most evil country in WW2.
Also, those sanctions were given to Japan in response to its invasion of China. Hard to call something a "war of survival" when it was started by your being an imperialist.
Conveniently forgetting all the warcrimes Japan commited during ww2?
No war is the same but it's a lot alike.

The passive approach are over, And the EU members are going to build one of the strongest and most capable defense forces in the world.
Only if they planned to become the next North Korea.

There was once a country on the road to freedom when it was waylaid by a neighbouring country, robbed and left to die on the
wayside. An important NATO country passed by and crossed the other side of the road since its delegation had an important meeting on security. Another country belonging to the European Union passed by, but its members had a meeting in Brussels about who could and couldn’t join them. Finally, an unaligned country came by and immediately reached down to help the beleaguered country with
whatever it needed to repel the enemy. It leant it fighter planes to secure the skies and anti-artillery batteries to protect its cities. In the words of the Master, “which one was the good neighbour?”

Unfortunately, the people of Russia will pay the price of Putin's obsession with getting the old USSR back together. It's not fair to anyone, which is why Putin needs to go.
You know what are the conditions to end war , its not a land grabbing war . Why did it happen? What were past conditions on both sides since when the negotiations been going on , who move away first from the table of talks?
Effect of sanctions

@@citizen8279 Why bot! Sanctions will impact Russian economy but doesn't mean they'll experience famine.
Alexander Hotz is wrong when he says "the first move was made by western governments when they targeted Russia's banking system." (2:06) The first move was made when the Russia government chose to invade their sovereign neighbor. But if we're going to talk about the business aspect, that's just it: geopolitical uncertainty is always an inherent risk in the market - and sometimes the market cuts a loss; accept that's never going to change. A lot of companies and their investors are going to lose most if not all their investments tied to Russia, but the fault lands squarely on President Putin. He started this war and if investors lose their investments and the economy suffers we need to look at the man who decided to launch this invasion in the first place - the single man whose ill-fated, poorly calculated, and totally unnecessary decision to attack Ukraine has led us to where we are now.
But I'm also shocked that so many economists are so shocked. There is nothing shocking about this. Investment brings with it no guarantee of return and doing business in and with countries like Russia, autocratic regimes with long histories of political unpredictability, carries with it enormous risk - risk that can never be mitigated. If you don't have the stomach for that kind of financial risk you should have bought t-bonds and Swiss francs and stayed away from Rubles and the MOEX. Regimes like this are, no matter how hard they try, wholly incapable of providing a stable business environment for more than a couple decades. The folie de grandeur of a despot is almost always the inevitable end to autocratic regimes the world over and subsequently too the business interests dependent on them. No one should be shocked that doing business with Putin's Russia was a huge risk which, as it looks, won't be producing any returns on investment. But hey, c'est la guerre...
I'd rather take on the effects higher prices for some time than to support the bombing of schools and hospitals in a free country. And I hope any person with a soul and a desire for liberty would do the same.
As a Ukrainian I say - God bless you!
Does that so-called free country burned people alive in the union trade house and shelling houses, schools, and hospitals in donbass for 8 years?
Too much financial information in one video. Good work. 👌👌👌
Baltic States are next do not make any mistakes. Putin is not going to stop at Ukraine.
I thought Western media said Russia was losing in Ukraine so how are they going to move forward west.?
Not Baltics, they are in NATO. Maybe Moldova or Georgia.
Lift the sanctions on medicine.
Russia will be affected by The usa and japanesw sanctions cuz their economies are strong and Russia depends a lot on them because of the dollar and technology from both countries.
The other sanctions will not be affected by Russia.
The sanctions imposed by Japan and US have little impact, Russia relies more on Europe and China
Then why Japan is experiencing Stagflation and inflation in US. A coin has two parts.
Russia will be fine. But US and NATO coutries will suffer more and more
Why not stop importing oil from russia? Let's see who gets hurt more.
they will have other buyers..whose economies might do better since it will be cheap..do the maths
@@jermainekamau6172 yes, China will win the most out of this, Russia will be unaffected, and America will be hurt badly.
@@jermainekamau6172 So who would be that other buyer and on what planet do they live? You know nothing.
@@kippe1221 India is already buying discounted oil, and China and Southeast Asia will do the same
@@stunstar4553 yea sure they suddenly have use for half the worlds oil and gas
If Venezuela, Iran, or North Korean are any examples they'd rather suffer than give into US bullying. The American perspective is they're wrong when they think the US demand to fall in line is wrong.
By "fall in line" you mean stop invading another country, and violating international law. Russia will give in or be broken.
@@maryanchabursky9148 Are you talking about the US or Russia? Cause there were no WMDs in Iraq or Bin Laden in Afghanistan. But for some reason the US stayed in both for 10+ years. Isn't that called occupation and invasion? This entire conflict will be whataboutism in a decade as well if you want to argue previous US behavior has no merit on Russian aggression in Ukraine.
@@Fuzzle1985 russia and you helarious spinning of Russias imperialist invasion of Ukraine as "not falling in line". I know this is a hard concepts to grasp, but two seperate and even adversarial governments can be simultaneously bad. So when discussing Russias invasion of Ukraine, the bad things the USA has done is irrelevant.
@@maryanchabursky9148 Exactly my point. So it's moot when either side tries telling the other what to do is good or bad because at the end of the day both countries will make their own decisions. Moreover no one cares since people die in war zones daily but somehow the US is making this out to be the next Third Reich, which is utterly inaccurate and a wild accusation. Just as wild as Russia saying there are Neo-Nazis in Ukraine. Neither side has any real legitimacy to anything they do but says the other is the bad one.
@@Fuzzle1985 no, my point is that the USA us absolutely justified in it's criticism (also as a Ukrainian, and given Russias war crimes there are certinly strong parallels between modern day Russia and nazi Germany). The fact that the USA did bad things previously doesn't mean they can't criticize bad things now.
If you want to criticize both thats fine, but Ukraine is being discussed here. If when discussing USA invasion of Iraq someone kept bringing up all the bad things other countries criticizing the USA did, you would be justified in thinking that they were justifying the USA with "whataboutism".

After one year of economic sanctions against Russia, finally it pays off:
American banks are falling.

I am in a war against unfairness. Everything else is irrelevant. Right, left, and any type of government or religion is secondary to ordinary fairness for everyone. We have to have a north star, a focus to keep us on correct coarse. We need a new political movement worldwide for this goal.
What do you mean by unfairness?
and suddenly we have all the previous political movements + 1(your newly invented movement).
Who defines "fair"?
It's almost as if people don't want the war to stop
"russia's defending their own territories" here fixed it for you.
Ah yes russian propaganda reached this place welcome to the west how are the special economic operation doing
Majority of the world still trades with Russia. Only the West, South Korea and Japan which is 15% of the world.
This shouts ignorance

Unconditional right to stop our own life whenever we want for all adults
what exactly are the alternatives here?
1) let russia invade ukraine and give it as an example to china to invade taiwan?
2) openly wage war against russia and invade them?
Or they shouldn't have staged a color revolution in Ukraine, supported ultranationalist groups to overthrow the government in order to install a loyal government to the US. They shouldn't have aggressively expanded towards Russia's borders knowing full well that this would pose a threat to Russia's security. They wanted the war to begin, and now they want it to be as long as possible, to weaken Russia as much as possible. Even if the war in Ukraine never happened, a reason for sanctions against Russia would have always been found.
Could have just told Ukraine they wouldn’t get a NATO membership.
@@islamhany6986 sure... but i'm talking about the present.
@@yanzx01 that's the same as option 1.
@@BattousaiHBr No it isn’t lol. Not denying them has lead to this war. NATO is not in Ukraine now, it was never going to be, and had it made that clear in the beginning then at least Ukraine wouldn’t be turned into a failed state.

Wonderful ukrainians shelled donbass for 8 years and burned people inside the union trade house. How wonderful they are.
Europeans, get your rubles ready 😊🇷🇺
I knew,, it would backfire..
Build more sweet crude refineries in the U.S, Kick start fracking to drive down oil prices and our farmers will be more than happy to plant wheat, but with oil prices as high as they are and the uncertain future around elevated wheat prices farmers are reluctant to increase production, it's a gamble. Or subsidize them, that will be faster.
Atleast this is happening right before spring in the Nothern Hemesphere. The US has got to take into account the food prices and such and make sure that we can produce and add to the rest of the countries trying to grow food otherwise poor countries with have unintentional genocide due to hunger. I have a feeling though that we(the world) should be able to accomplish this as long as we are talking about it right now in the highest levels of government. This needs to be addressed.
Please keep supporting Ukraine.
We, Ukrainian people, appreciate your support, we are fighting not for ourselves, we are fighting for freedom in our world.
Each Ukrainian stands now to stop russia & putin.
Glory to Ukraine!
My country would support Ukraine if it disavowed those fcuking Nazis.
Thanks to the sanctions of the wonderful European Union, one of the best bank in Hungary (Russian Sberbank) was expelled here, which only ended with the fact that, for example, companies could only transfer their money to their new bank with an extra expense. Furthermore, fertilizer production has come to a complete halt due to uncertainty in the supply of raw materials. The Hungarian government has banned the export of basic food and, as we know, a lot of food source material flows to the western countries, from Hungary so if there is food in Hungary, tie up your pants dear western citizens, because you will starve! But congratulate to your very clever west leaders for bringing back the Middle Ages pretty slowly. Not to mention, our government - luckly - was so clever that natural gas supply containers are are in the highest level, so the price and safety here in Hungary are far safer than it is in the west right now. How good is the European Union and its fantastic rainbow policy? You decide!
you will own nothing and had better be happy, at least in Russia they can still own stuff.
Europe is suffering more than usa
Like America cares! They keep on doing more Sanctions. Capitalists over communists.
someone must suffering for points, but not USA
Crazy how one person can create a global crisis(s).
That is why Putin invaded, make other countries weaker economically, so Russia can catch up. Europe and Asia will always buy Putin's oil, Russia and Ukraine export 25% of world's wheat combined.
The world should sanction USA , as they invade Iraq in 2003 for fake reasons!
Да, а что? 😉
Are these sanctions helping ukraine ?
@@rohissangroula3088 What a twisted Logic.
Nope of course. It is not about ukraine, it is about russia and the west.
