The White House says it is preparing additional “major sanctions” on Russia in response to opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s death in an Arctic penal colony.
Unfortunately there are too many Americans here to even get the irony of this absurd reaction the same time the US is attempting to jail a journalist for exporting defense secrets. The same US that went outside jurisdictional bounds to attempt to extradite this journalist and failed.
All the sanctions are doing is weakening the US position as a global financer. When nobody wants to buy your debt, your economy will collapse. Weaponizing holding that debt, holding assets, and doing trade in the currency accelerates alternative methods.
I understand Americans don’t get any of the news in the world, but it’s already happening and this is making it go faster. Good riddance.
