The biggest risk is that actions such as this lead to the de-dollarization of international trade and the demise of the petrol dollar. Which in turn could lead to the dollars’ loss of reserve currency status and the end of The U.S.’s ability to run massive fiscal and trade deficits. The inflationary come down of the dollars depreciation will be epic.
This is some real, provocative, and dangerous stuff. This won't stop Russia, but only provoke it. For Russia, this is a matter of security. Security vs economic well being, what matters more? Obviously former. It will make them more anti-America and this war will escalate even further
I'm waiting for Donald Trump to declare Steve Cortes as a genius for pointing to such a brilliant solution. Instead of punishing the people of Russia, he wants us to punish the people of Europe and the US. Brilliant.
So then, what stops Putin? Whars next? Poland? (Belarus is already a Russian puppet state), The Baltics? Putin's intent has always been a a do-over of the USSR breakup.
The last thing we need is a Russian Hitler to rise from the bitterness of economic ruin. Europe is ripe for owning, all it takes is a large Army willing to take the prize. Barring England and France the Europeans really have no army to speak of. The rest is just a "peacekeeping" force pretending to be an army.
More up is down ridiculous statements. What are we supposed to do genius? Allow a bloody slaughter to take place in a friendly democracy and do nothing at all? Should we fight and risk nuclear war? Those are our other options. The Russians are currently murdering civilians on a large scale. Are you aware of that? This is an uncomfortable third path. The Russian people are the ones who can ultimately stop Putin. Where do you get this stuff? On the back of a matchbook?
This is an extremely astute article . Putin and the oligarchs , the elites , will not suffer as much as the common Russian person . The logic seems to be that inflicting pain on the latter will cause regime change. No. It will drive Russians more toward Putin who will play a symphony of resentment against the West . There is a long history of this in Russia. Putin has widespread public support and it will grow , despite the war . Thomas Cushman
Don’t forget. China borders Russia. Who wants China to take over a financially ruined Russia? Anyone?

The free world is hitting Russia economically worse then it did with the Reichstag. Maybe because we learned a lesson not to make that mistake again.

They are planning to destroy the dollar

So if we can't sanction Russia, what would Cortes have us do? Let Putin walk away scott free?

Asia for the Asians, Africa for the Africans, White countries for EVERYBODY!
Massive immigration and FORCED assimilation is called GENOCIDE when it’s done in Tibet.
When it’s done in White countries, it’s called “diversity.”
Diversity is just a code word for White Genocide.

More utter nonsense which completely ignores common sense and the behavior of Russia. Bravo
