Jeffrey Sonnenfeld - Russia has Become a Malign Genocidal Entity and its Collapse Should be Welcomed

- Harvard’s Lawrence Tribe has forcefully remarked, “there can be no justification for halfway measures, let alone for doing nothing while Ukraine is destroyed. Inaction is an illusion: it would represent a cowardly decision to appease and to encourage further aggression around the world.” Similarly, 80 years ago, FDR warned, “The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.” Interpreting that in the context of Russia’s illegal violation of Ukraine’s sovereign borders, Jeffrey Sonnenfeld argues that now is the time to act and seize Russia’s $300 billion in frozen assets to support a Ukrainian victory over an imperialistic aggressor.

Jeffrey Sonnenfeld is Lester Crown Professor of Leadership Practice and a Senior Associate Dean of the Yale School of Management. He helped catalyse the retreat of 1,200 global corporations from Russia, and now strongly advocates for seized Russian Central Bank assets to be passed to Ukraine. Sonnenfeld is known as the founder and CEO of the Chief Executive Leadership Institute (CELI), affiliated with Yale University and for convening Yale's semi-annual CEO Summits, which have drawn thousands of CEOs over the years to engage in off-the-record peer-to-peer conversations.
We discuss topics such as "why the IMF naively 'endorses' Putin's fake economic stats."

It breaks my heart to witness the weakness of the European and American response to Russian criminality.
Russia is responding to our criminality! WE the evil invaders of the world! Waging 20 year trillion dollars wars to impose teen sex, abortion, homosexuality, transgenderism, and other Godless depravities upon the world! We are the agresdirs! Russia is the responders
Wealth corrupts and history repeats. Once again, when they finally realize their folly it will be too late.
@@jiyushugi1085 history doesn't repeat. People just fail to learn
Or the criminality of British and Americans over a span of centuries. They both invaded and destroyed entire nations.
What about the long list of US criminality ???
Mike Johnson showed "decisiveness and courage"?😂😂😂 ridiculous. He blocked it for 7 months and somehow got armwrestled into budging. It's his fault thousands of people are dead
Trump & Johnson together have blood on their hands. There political arrogance was an inhumain act against humanity
Exactly
True. But to his credit that pendulum has swung completely the other way now. Not sure for how long.
I'm afraid I completely agree. The man has no moral compass and lies every time he opens his hypocritical mouth.
He was basically ‘persuaded’ when the CIA visited him for a brief to behave himself. Consequently, he became a different person overnight. Indeed, he is now a hawk instead of a Russian agent. Amazing what happens when the establishment people visit you to lubricate your brain with the correct oil type 😂.
If Trump wins the presidency, he will get the same treatment. They will wait to see if he behaves, or he will get a Jesus meeting to put his mind straight. We love the CIA and pentagon’s rulers when hey take charge.
The world needs more people like Dr Sonnenfeld and Mr. Bill Browder. They know Putin and are true patriots and world citizens informing us of the Russian reality
Agree. I would add Kyle Bass to your list.
Dr and Mr ??? u gay or what???🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bill Browder is a capitol vulture and carpet bagger who's schemes got nipped in the bud
he would rather american taxpayers suffer 4 fold just to singe putin's ego.

300 billion immediatly to Ukraine!
I agree but the Belgian company Euroclear is apparently scared to release these funds. They are claiming this is because there is a fear of litigation if a cease fire between Ukraine and Russia is signed. Theoretically this could imply Russia can sue Euroclear for their losses and the company would be bankrupt. Euroclear themselves advocate for a legal pathway to releasing these funds but only if they do not risk losing their company.

Konstantin and Prof Sonnenfeld in the same week. You’re hitting it out of the park!
And yet, the average American refuses to listen. They want to pretend there is no war, that russia did not declare war on the West, that the fighting is thousands of miles away, that the money is better spent on the homeless. Except that they hate the homeless and resent a penny of their tax dollars going to them. The influx of refugees when Ukraine loses the war, however, will knock the Americans socks off, and then the complaining will start again. Too late! IT WILL GET WORSE.

In the attitude of Western politicians I see a mixture of "fears", "selfishness", "stupidity" and "spurious interests"
And cowardice
Oh, don’t forget a shitload of corrupt politicians and other people in powerful positions. The west is full of them, Russian money doesn’t smell for everybody, and morals are out the window.
@@LawrenceWeber-dd5ey yes, it's the classic combo of all that. The human mind is exceedingly faulty & that's why 'excellence' in organizational systems and management is what the western world has been all about! That was how IT grew the world economy in fact. Today we're seeing a stunned western leadership & they need to snap to it. We have a lot of work to do.
The West (I'm in the USA) seems hopelessly conflicted. When the shit hits the fan only then might they wake the fvck up.
I would have put "stupidity" first - and western political corruption a close second. (I'm British.)

100 per cent correct re your headline. Will listen quietly later. Thank you for bringing such terrific interviewees, Jonathan.
Johnson should not be praised for doing the right thing 7 months too late.
Totally agree. He cost thousands of lives and miles of territory.
@Stop-propaganda
It's a lovely attempt, Ivan, but completely false and has been shown to be so many times.
The 'talks' in Budapest were Russia making a pretense while they executed civilians in Bucha. Remember?
Putin realised he couldn't take Kyiv and the 40 km convoy ran away to Belarus. Remember?
Ukraine was never going to accept any 'peace negotiations' that amounted to surrendering to the fascist invaders.
Have a lovely day and thank you for boosting the algorithm with your very poor trolling 😉
Excellent interview.
Yes. Seems to me there should be more explicit emphasis that US support for Ukraine is a national security issue, not a “foreign aid” issue.
We should hear more from Professor Sonnenfeld !
There is a reason why in Finnish verb "Ryssiä" (Muscovy ) , roughly meaning "to totally fail something".
In my country of Poland we say "Russia is a state of mind".
And in Russia they call Finns "four legged", cause they can not drink.
Despite the efforts of international law, the world is still falling short of its ideals. Putin's actions, in particular, are a notable example of this failure. In the early stages of the war he started, Putin publicly declared on television that he would no longer recognize or honour any international agreements made by past Russian governments.
This statement has significant implications, as it essentially nullifies Russia's legal right to participate in international organizations such as the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and many others. In light of this, it is time for the international community to take a firm stance and impose consequences on Putin and Russia. Issue the eviction notices to leave all these offices, embassies, The UN and other facilities located in other countries, as well as reclaiming the land they occupy.
In the end, Russia legally has no more Veto power in the UN as they are there illegally as per Putin's denouncing all former agreements made by others. Time to show Putin & Russia the door.
Russia like The US is a permanent member! So nothing to do about it.
Well said.
Good observation.
Putin said it himself. Time to nullify all the agreements.
Thank you.
This kind of childish conception of international relations in terms of black-and-white moral absolutes, employed highly selectively against some and literally never against others, is why the entire world outside of Europe and its former colonies is rapidly realigning itself outside the West, and negotiating how to structure alternative international institutions to facilitate trade & commerce such that they'll function fairly, consistently & impartially - unlike the Euro-American post-war projects that were always biased to benefit the West at others' expense.
You don't need to be a non-Westerner to recognise that the UN, IMF, WTO et. al. all function as tools of Western dominance & exploitation. You just need to have a brain, and know how to use it. Something entirely foreign to regular viewers of this channel, no doubt.
@@lachlanbell8390 I respectfully disagree with your perspective, which appears to be influenced by a limited understanding of international finance and growth of nations economics. Despite not being American, I have spent over 50 years studying international finance and various geographic fields, and I have a comprehensive understanding of the global financial landscape and capital flow.
To better understand the growth of nations, I recommend familiarizing yourself with the 1930 Banking codes and the 1933 SEC regulations in the United States. These regulations have had a profound impact on the economic development of nations and their ability to move out of economic cycles.
China's current economic status is largely attributed to the USA's granting of exclusive special trade status and later the 1930s SEC regulations, which allowed the Chinese Communist Party to access bailout funding after the Asian currency crisis in the 1990s through the US financial system and markets under the same conditions and rules as other countries. However, China cheated by transferring its federal debt to provincial banks' balance sheets, claiming they were almost debt-free, and securing lower interest rates on new debt issues sold in the US finance system.
The Belt and Road initiative has led many countries to become entangled in unfair deals, with China later altering the terms. This is reminiscent of a dictatorship's tactics. In contrast, the USA was the first to adopt international fair practices for foreign issuers, making it impossible for such exploitation to occur under its regulations.
Additionally, exploring the Middle East from the 1930s onwards or the collapse of the USSR and the UK and USA's introduction of advanced oil extraction technology to help them rebuild and become financially viable again could provide valuable insights. However, this progress was undone by a single individual who prioritized hoarding wealth for the few and providing scraps to the rest, rather than promoting fair distribution across the economy.
Regarding the USA, domestically, middle-class workers have been forced to pay for everything and are even ripped off of their government-controlled pension savings trust accounts (as seen in May 1983's "The Great Social Security Heist"). This has led to strains in the US system today, as well as similar policies adopted by other Western countries that have caused problems for their people.
I believe that your statements are based on spin and reflect your limited knowledge about international finance, capital flow, and growth of nation cycles.
Brilliant analisys
I fully agree.
Westerners are cowards
Professor Sonnenfeld is a very, very good and credible guest. Please have him come back in the future.

They don't want to admit that they have a monster on their border. They're in denial. But if Ukraine will fall if they lose the US, then there's nothing in Europe that will save themselves. Maybe it's time to wake up?

Dilly dally means to do things slowly. Muppet means idiot.
Germany in particular here. They continue to bankroll Putin with oil money.
When did we become so addicted to ease that we became willing to sacrifice our freedom and morality?
Wtf does the border dispute between Russia & Ukraine have to do with "sacrificing freedom"??
@lachlanbell8390 !!! This is not a "border dispute". The post WW2 "Long Peace" in Europe has ended with total casualties soon approaching one million. If the West does the same as it did in 1938, that is, nothing, then RuZZia will not stop in Ukraine, and NATO will be dragged into it. European countries will be in the line of fire next. RuZZia is not gentle when it takes over an area. This is what I refer to when I say that freedom is on the line. Sacrificing our morality refers to not backing Ukraine unreservedly and letting it happen even though we know better.

A big thank you to Jonathan !! Just amazing the high level of the interviewed ! He is a very high profile in the management of global businesses ! He is just a number one !
Several faults with Biden:
1. Training on all weapons systems should have started from Day 1 of the war. Should have started before.
2. "Escalation" management with Russia has been "achieved" at an unforgivable cost to Ukraine. Either we're working toward the victory or defeat of Russia. And a defeat now would be no worse than a defeat later. In fact, a long term defeat may risk greater escalation, as it would be achieved through Russian collapse. I know the entire premise of this post is that we should welcome it, but the chances of nuclear options become greater when it's not just the defeat of the army, but of the entire regime.
3. Let Ukraine hit Russian territory when needed.
I agree. Sadly, what I have heard about the alternative in Trump is worse. And republicans have been a hurdle to getting weapons and gear to Ukraine.

Thank you so much, Jonathan, for inviting Jeffrey Sonnenfeld. I was quite disappointed that it was so short. I have been using the Yale CELI List ever since it was announced, to find out what companies are still operating in the terrorist state. Whenever I need to buy something, I check, what the corporation's status is and don't buy if they still haven't received the "Suspension" grade. Thank you so much, Jeffrey Sonnenfeld and Team, for providing us with the database and for updating it regularly. It would be great to have an extended conversation about your work and how consumers can increase pressure on the corporations as well as our representatives, to stop their business in the terrorist state. My country has one of the most horrendous black sheep (Raiffeisen BI, "Digging In", the last bank allowing foreign currency transfers, if I am not misinformed), and I would love to find out how to fight it and get all profits they have amassed since February 24, 2022 transferred to Ukraine.

Collapse will come. We must see the economic, technological and military “power” of Russia in perspective. Russia is indeed a huge country in square km, but only has (a declining) 144 million inhabitants (Mexico 128 million, Japan 123 million). This is about 30% of USA or Eurozone. The GDP of Russia however is only 4% of the GDP of the Eurozone + USA, this is equal to the GDP of the small countries Belgium + Netherlands. And less than the GDP of the state of California. Relatively (per capita) the GDP of Russia is very low. Beside that the economy of Russia has signs of a 3th world economy. Half of the income is coming from oil & gas. Based on this, Russia isn’t a world power. And for sure, it isn’t a economic power. This is the reason they can’t build up and maintain a big army. The army they have is far beyond normal proportions in relation to their GDP. This hurts their budgets and prosperity permanently. In this perspective, Russia is just a dictatorship with a huge inferiority complex and dangerous megalomaniac dreams. The path they chose shall be and will be their downfall.
C’mon- people have been talking about russia’s collapse forever but their population is capable of dragging themselves around on the fumes of an old paint rag and the dregs of the vodka bottle for centuries, which is why they make such great decisions. Children are raised to believe that their highest achievement in life is to die for russia as soon as they graduate high school, or make baby soldiers while nursing the vodka bottle. Can the West come up with a scenario as tempting for conscription? They pay in drugs, what can I say….
GDP acruss countries us misleading. In real terms Russia is much dtronger. Compare say weat and still production by us and Rssia. Fifference is much smaller. Besides russia is much more technologically advanced than us in many critical dpmaislike nuclear and aerispacrs. Besides, russia has much healtier income dustribution structure.

He just looks so impotent by comparison when Hitler took countries like Netherlands, Luxembourg and France in a matter of weeks. And also modern day Ukraine later. Putin can barely make headway in Ukraine after 3 years lol
He’s confirmed his place alongside him in history anyway but as the commenter above said he’s levels above hitler in incompetence.

Thank you Jonathan, for bringing in Jerry Sonnenfeld.
I celebrate that he shared his views on the current delapidated state of Russian affairs.

Leaders should speak to the underlying principle, international law and rules based order, not “them”. When Jeffrey and Bill Browder speak about this they are in a powerful position to apply the principles to Israel. Otherwise, allies of Russia just dismiss all their good points.

How many western companies have lost assets in Russia since Feb 22?
Quite a few - the trouble with releasing Russian assets is that these companies may have a right for compensation that precludes Ukraine from receiving the benefits of these frozen assets which it should
