That was a good discussion, thank you for having Ben Norton on the show.

I'm so glad Ben is still a young man. The world 🌎 is off kilter & will remain so indefinitely, so we need his brilliant, caring voice. Thanks for an incredibly informative discussion. 👍

Sanctions are Siege Warfare.
Surround a castle & cut off food, medicine and fuel in winter. Infirm,
Children & women suffer & die first.
Then you 'broadcst' that the sieged leaders are responsible for the suffering of their own people.

There isn't much real brain food available any more . Thanks for the great discussion . Ben is always a well researched journalists !

To imagine the travesty that people with only 10% of Ben's intellect are sitting in 3000-$-suits in TV studios, pontificating clueless nonsense to the masses. Plato turns in his symbolic grave.

When in 1949 the US Senate initially voted on the NATO treaty, Sen Robert Taft – known as Mr Republican – gave an excellent speech on why he voted against creating NATO.

Great video. Change the title and get more people in line to view it. I got lucky, but the title will probably come up on a lot less searches as it is. Benjamin Norton on Sanctions: Ethics and Geopolitics

Hungary and Serbia were seemingly pressured by Brussels to vote against popular sentiment

Fantastic talk with Ben! Grim, but great!

People have been predicting the collapse of the Dollar and US economy for decades, and it hasn't happened, but I think the situation is analogous to an earthquake, where the tetonic stress builds until it suddenly releases catastrophically. You can't say when it will strike, but when it does, it will be a disaster. But, I'm usually wrong when I try to read the tea leaves.

It's my simulated friend Ben again!

I feel privileged to witness this discussion. More people should be so privileged.

Great episode! Glad RJ brought up the subject of the declining petro-dollar. It was good to get some insight on that future-wise. I've been wondering what that would mean for the US and worldwide economically. Hope to hear more in dept that that subject.

The Multipolarista YouTube channel hasn't had a posting in over a month. What's happening, Ben?

[robinbennett]

U.S doesn't print $ it is all digital keystrokes. Inflation in the US is corporate greed.

[gikratos]

Excellent conversation about sanctions! I'll be sharing this link for sure 👍

The US has no problem printing money, it's printed trillions of dollars lately... And that's what causes massive inflation.

Yes, we need to worry about debt because printing money to "solve" that problem destroys the dollar. If we end up with monopoly money that holds no value, that's worse then just being in debt.

I guess it's impossible for the world to just give in and let the ownership take whatever it needs. We cannot surrender and stop the economic punishment. We also can't win. There's no way to win freedom from sanctions. I believe that punishment of humanity is the important thing-. It's what's worth it

[savvybytes]

Act morally or strategically!!?? The US has never acted as such nor will they.
