Alone

The Federal Reserve is working alone to correct the inflation levels that exceeded 9%. On the other hand, the White House is doing its best to keep the oil prices/ and food prices as high as possible. We are making a great business selling the EU natural gas three fold what they paid before. Also Billions are being paid to the Military industries.

The sanctions placed on Russia by US and EU is creating havoc on poor people and poor countries alike and keeping the prices of everything, gas and food high. Just a thought.

 When the business goes down, now we remember Human Rights.

Lets not forget that sanctions placed by US and EU are following on many countries cause death to the poor and the young.   Just a thought.

Fake..


Though peace talks are now at a standstill, they may revive when Russia’s Donbas push either succeeds or ends in stalemate, and Ukraine may again be presented with an unpleasant peace offering, lose Crimea, accept more autonomy for much of the Donbas, commit to neutrality. 

If Kyiv thinks Western support is endless, or likely to grow more direct, it may end up rejecting a deal it should have taken and suffer for it when the help it banked on doesn’t materialize.

The problem here isn’t helping Ukraine, it’s pretending the help is unconditional.

This conflict itself was partly precipitated by a series of false but beguiling assurances from Washington to Kyiv, which gave the impression of an alignment of interests.

The fatal dalliance included promises of “ironclad” support, the hollow suggestion of eventual NATO membership and the establishment of a security partnership backed by increased material and military assistance that fell short of a guarantee. 

That all left Ukraine in a vulnerable no-man’s land: without the shield of actual Western commitment yet emboldened to take measures that accelerated Russia’s determination to stop it from joining the West, like rejecting neutrality.  [Cato Institute By Justin LoganBenjamin H.

Anyone..

 

Moscow has once again laid out its conditions for peace negotiations with Ukraine. Russia wants to see genuine political will on Kyiv's part to engage in dialogue.

 Moscow wants legal guarantees that Ukraine will never be allowed to join NATO, the Western military alliance, and wants Ukraine to change its constitution to cement this.

 In the past few months, Vladimir Putin has called for talks with Ukraine several times. Even the United States privately urged Volodymyr Zelensky to be open to talks. 

But the Ukrainian President has ruled out the possibility of negotiations, as he sees talks with Russia as a compromise and a surrender in front of Moscow. Watch this report for full information.

Does anyone want peace between these two countries?

Morality..

 


Many major world powers have implemented coercive measures against Venezuela in response to public corruption, human rights abuses, and antidemocratic actions taken by the Maduro government.

The US had led the most severe sanctions, which began when President Obama declared a national emergency and implemented targeted sanctions in 2015.

On 12 February 2021, Alena Douhan, the UN Special Rapporteur on unilateral coercive measures and human rights, released a preliminary report condemning international sanctions against Venezuela.

Over five years since these sanctions were first introduced, the country faces a desperate humanitarian crisis, calling into question the morality and efficacy of such measures.

Douhan states: “Before the Blockade, Venezuela was spending 76% of its oil revenues on social programs. Now it can’t even invest 1% of that.” Douhan argues that sanctions on the economic activity directly impede the government’s ability to guarantee the human rights of its population, which has had a “devastating impact on the whole population of Venezuela”.

Just a "Moral" thought.
