Russian Economy UNPLUGGED By Oil Sanctions

On January 12, 2025, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced intensified sanctions targeting Russia's oil production and export sectors.

This was a significant and decisive moral and economic victory for the free and independent democratic country of Ukraine.

These measures aim to diminish Russia's primary revenue source, thereby constraining its capacity to finance the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

My video explains this in simple terms to be understood in terms of impact for Russia.

The sanctions encompass a prohibition on specific services related to Russian oil exports and the designation of key entities and individuals within Russia's energy industry. This strategic move underscores the United States' commitment to applying economic pressure on Russia in response to its actions in Ukraine. I also extend the analysis to include the long term affect if there is a change in US policy.

Nice to hear an economist speak in terms of Morality, Faith, the greater good, etc. You are a great human being!

The people of Russia have never been free in their entire existence.
I don't know if they could even understand what it would feel like.

"unless there's a reversal in the next administration" exactly what I'm afraid of, that would do so much damage.
Freedom and democracy is not free, we need to stay strong against dictators

What you tell us, Mark, resonates with Prof Jeffrey Sonnenfeld from Yale Business School. Thank you. I need to hear your thoughts every day to keep it all understandable.

I don’t understand why these sanctions were not applied originally in 2022. Why now?

Great video Mark. Thought provoking sir...

I still don’t understand why Putin started this war instead of taking care of his country? All the oil revenues waisted. He could have a statue in his honor. And then they say he ain’t dumb! Thank you for your economic insight and the interesting information about historical economic figures. Even the quotes from Star Trek are sometimes so relevant. I like it.
