Moon of Alabama \u2013 Dec 30, 2022<\/strong><\/h1>\n

What really hit me last year was the dearth of correct analyses in main stream media and in politics with regards to the war in Ukraine. Little if anything is based on facts. More than 90% of the published output is propaganda.<\/p>\n

The ‘western’ plan was to draw Russia into Ukraine to then ‘kill’ it by economic sanctions. As Biden said<\/a> when he announced those:<\/p>\n

We have purposefully designed these sanctions to maximize the long-term impact on Russia and to minimize the impact on the United States and our Allies.<\/p>\n

And I want to be clear: The United States is not doing this alone. For months, we\u2019ve been building a coalition of partners representing well more than half of the global economy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Twenty-seven members of the European Union, including France, Germany, Italy \u2014 as well as the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and many others \u2014 to amplify the joint impact of our response.<\/p>\n

I just spoke with the G7 leaders this morning, and we are in full and total agreement. We will limit Russia\u2019s ability to do business in Dollars, Euros, Pounds, and Yen to be part of the global economy. We will limit their ability to do that. We are going to stunt the ability to finance and grow Rus- \u2014 the Russian military.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re going to impose major \u2014 and we\u2019re going to impair their ability to compete in a high-tech 21st century economy.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve already seen the impact of our actions on Russia\u2019s currency, the Ruble, which early today hit its weakest level ever \u2014 ever in history. And the Russian stock market plunged today. The Russian government\u2019s borrowing rate spiked by over 15 percent.<\/p>\n

The assumptions behind these sanctions about the state of the Russian economy were completely wrong. Russia no longer had a low level economy. Yes, its GDP in dollar terms was much lower than those of most European states. But its GDP per capita measured at purchase power of the ruble was quite high. Russia’s GDP also includes a much higher percentage of real production and a lower percentage of dubious ‘services’. Its health care sector is<\/a> 5.6% of its GDP. In the U.S. it is 16.7%, without creating a much better outcome. If one looks at Russia’s production of steel, concrete and electricity per capita, things of real value, one can see that it is as much developed as other major middle income countries in Europe.<\/p>\n
