Why would @CAIRNational support sanctioning 17 million more Muslims?

The US #Sanctions are designed to keep #Syria in ruins and to stop reconstruction of the country, and stop foreign investment.

There is no U.S. plan to get rid of Assad or his security state.

This bill… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
To understand what's wrong with this bill you have to put it in the context of our current (failed) policy on #Syria

This two minute explanation by Dana Stroul gives a good summary of the policy

As Joel Rayburn explained: US sanctions immiserate average Syrians because the Caesar Act "lowered the bar" for imposing them.

Pres. Biden's statement on Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Act and possible sanctions sparks a key debate: Should a global power use economic means to interfere in another country's domestic affairs? A thread on potential impact.🧵#UgandaAntiGayLaw - twitter.com/i/spaces/1mrxm… Image

Biden condemns Uganda's anti-gay law, arguing it not only violates human rights but also poses a threat to everyone residing in Uganda, including US personnel. He warns of "significant action" that could include economic sanctions. #HumanRights #LGBTQ -… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image

It's important to note that sanctions are a double-edged sword. On one hand, they could push Uganda to reconsider the law by affecting the economy. But they could also cause collateral damage, impacting the lives of ordinary Ugandans. #Sanctions #UgandaAntiGayLaw -… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image

1/ A fascinating presentation by General David Petraeus unfolded today at the Qatar Economic Forum's panel: "Return of the Multipolar World." His observations were both profound and timely, shedding light on the shifting global landscape. #QatarEconomicForum

🧵 Image
2/ "Once upon a time, we bathed in the serene waters of benign globalization," the General remarked nostalgically. "Now, the seas have become tempestuous. We find ourselves navigating choppy waves of change." #Geopolitics
3/ Turning to the Eastern horizon, Petraeus noted the friction between China and the West as the most crucial issue of our era. But he dismissed the notion of 'decoupling' as impossible, reminding us of last year’s record-breaking US-China trade volumes. #ChinaWestRelations

Russia has come forward and acknowledged the existence of significant challenges concerning its oil and gas revenues, which have reached their lowest point in several years.
During a public video conference with President Vladimir Putin, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov openly acknowledged these issues. 1/6
He attributed the decline of energy revenues by over 50 percent in the first quarter of this year to "all these discounts," effectively highlighting the impact of various factors affecting the revenue stream. 2/6

EU firms operating in Russia made a deliberate choice to stay despite the increasing reputational risks associated with the country's actions. Now, they are facing the consequences of their decision. 1/8
These companies were aware of the potential harm to their reputation due to Russia's war and even before that.

By staying in Russia, they willingly associated themselves with a nation that has been largely condemned by international community. 2/8
These firms were not blind to the financial benefits that the Russian market offered. Despite the reputational risks, they continued to see their profits from operations in Russia rise. 3/8

"Rail Lines & Bridges"

Large or small, 100s of verified assets in the Russian near & in Occupied Territories.

100+ critical assets to fueling the Russian war machine, physically & through revenue generation.

In five years, #JoeBiden will likely get the #NobelPeacePrize. But not because he did anything proactively for peace.

It is because a #Multipolar World will be more peaceful than a unipolar one, and Biden has done more than anyone else (albeit unwittingly) to further that. (1/n)
The US-led #sanctions against #Russia in response to the #UkraineRussiaWar have forced countries around the world to abandon the US dollar as a medium of trade. This is forcing the rest of the world (non-West) together. Banning Russia from #swift was most important in this. (2/n)
#India and #China desperately need oil. Because of sanctions, Russia is providing oil at cheap rates to both. Russia has now become India's largest source of oil, displacing Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Chinese imports of Russian oil have also zoomed upwards. (3/n)

What are the effects of #sanctions on the opinions of Russians about the West and the war? There is a naïve pro-sanctions view: Sanctions lead to economic hardship which is then attributed to the war and leads to anti-war sentiment. This is certainly not happening. 1/
There is also a naïve anti-sanctions view: Sanctions lead to economic hardship, which is attributed to the West's hostility and leads to a "rally-round-the-flag" effect and stronger support for Putin. This is also not happening. 2/
From my experience, there are two groups: The "enlightened group" of educated Russians, a minority, and the "loyal group" of Russians, the majority, who rather believe in Putin and the official line on foreign policy. Interestingly, the sanctions effects on both is complex. 3/

#Sanctions: UN humanitarian diplomacy aims to convince the EU to exempt Belarusian fertilizer exports. Lithuania and Poland are against any easing of restrictions on the export of Belarusian potash to not help Lukashenko. The sanctions were applied after⤵️
the Ryanair hijacking in 2021. Lukashenko's facilitation of the Russian war against Ukraine has reduced exports to the West. Belarus currently transports potash from Russia's St Petersburg and Murmansk airports. The potash producer (Belaruskali) is a⤵️
major source of income for the Lukashenko regime. The US shares the concern that sanctions on Belarus could have aggravating effects on food security. Canada has already taken the top spot as a world share of exports, planning to expand production capacity.⤵️

Russia to the bottom
March 12, 2023

From time to time, materials appear in the leading Western media about disagreements between the allies & the Ukrainian authorities, as well as within the allies themselves regarding the definition of Ukrainian victory
1/
and therefore the goals in the war, and accordingly the types, volumes and pace of aid.

However, the observers themselves point out that issues of such complexity as supporting Ukraine in the war against Russia are never without discussion.
2/
In order to speed up these discussions, & to speed up the provision of weapons to Ukraine for the offensive & the liberation of territories (namely, victories are the best motivation for further assistance), the Ukrainian authorities should take fairly simple & logical steps.

Racist propagandists relish the publication in The Washington Post that, they say, "the USA will need 15 years" to restore its potential - due to the reduction of defense spending and aid to Ukraine, which exceeded $32 billion.

Trying to present this as a problem, the Rashists do not see the unpleasant conclusion: the more the US and its allies help, the more interested they are in the victory of Ukraine.

And the Rashists, on the other hand, are shelling Ukrainian cities,

adding weight to the arguments about providing weapons as soon as possible. To complete the picture, Ukraine must demonstrate in every possible way that it is an outpost of freedom and democracy - and the pressure on Russia will increase.
