Can Sanctions Deter Russia From Invading Ukraine?

  • Economic sanctions remain one of the most powerful tools the United States has in its foreign policy arsenal. And as Russian forces continue to amass along the border with Ukraine, officials in the U.S. hope the threat of those sanctions can deter a full-scale invasion.
    Besides sanctions that target individuals or specific companies, some proposals involve cutting Russia off from the SWIFT system, which would remove Russian institutions from an important global financial network.
    Another target is the near-completed Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, which when operational would double the amount of natural gas moved from Russia to Germany through the Baltic Sea and likely reduce the need for other pipelines, such as the Urengoy-Pomary-Uzhhorod pipeline that runs through Ukraine.
    Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas has proposed a bill that would require automatic sanctions against Nord Stream 2 operators within two weeks of Russia invading Ukraine. The bill failed to pass on Thursday, but picked up a handful of Democratic votes in the final tally.
    Democratic Sens. Robert Menendez, of New Jersey, and Jeanne Shaheen, of New Hampshire, proposed an alternative bill that would “impose crippling sanctions on the Russian banking sector and senior military and government officials if President [Vladimir] Putin escalates hostile action in or against Ukraine.”
    Watch the video above to find out how U.S. sanctions work, whether the U.S. can persuade allies to cut off Russia from the important SWIFT financial network, and what’s next in the foreign policy standoff between the West and Russia.

    Sanctions is not a powerful tool as many people believe it is. The whole purpose of sanctions is to punish the citizens of that country, creating chaos through economic warfare, which hopes leading up to a civil unrest and a war so US can move in with their military. Sanctions can target individuals but can't hurt anyone powerful or rich in any country. NK is one of the poorest countries out there, has sanctions done anything to it at all? does NK really have any business with any countries that dislike them in the first place? If NK doesn't care about sanctions, why would Russia care at all.

Not discussed that China needs Russia because Russia supplies significant oil and gas to China from pipelines and also tankers.

    Thats also a question for the US: would US accept any sanctions be given to them by intl' community for illegaly being involved in syrian war or when it invaded iraq or probably to deter the US from invading any country in the future? Russia want the US to treat them on equal ground, not as some sort of rogue "small" states like Cuba or iran, considering Russia have its own national interest as well as power, just like the USA. Everytime US media look at other nations, they always try to legitimize their country's actions on the base of US national interests like America is the only country to have one 🙃

      No good without the will to use it. Biden doesn't have it. He's weak. Nor does he have the know how to do it. His "advisers" are political hacks, leftist zealots. They are not policy people. They don't know how, or care to know how to achieve a policy goal. They are not doers, they are preachers for the cause and the cause as quoted by Obama is to "fundamentally change America".
