How Sanctions Work: Iran and the Impact of Economic Warfare – Djavad Salehi-Isfahani Pt. 1/2
U.S. President Trump has extended the aims of his first presidential term’s “maximum pressure campaign” by slapping additional sanctions on Iran. Djavad Salehi-Isfahani, Professor of Economics at Virginia Tech, describes the detrimental effects of U.S. sanctions on Iran’s economy and society. Salehi-Isfahani illustrates how the sanctions’ differentiated effects often result in them being “invisible” to certain segments of Iranian society, leaving some Iranians convinced that their government is solely to blame for the country’s economic woes. In addition, he asserts that the combined effects of U.S. sanctions and Iran’s policy choices continue to hollow out the Iranian middle class: while the government has assisted the poor with large direct cash transfer programs, it has largely ignored the demands of its middle class.
The Afghan Papers (Washington Post Dec.,2019)showed what the Generals said in the Pentagon , which was different than what they said in Congress during the committee hearings about the Afghan War! This sounds like perjury! They were all taken care of by the defense contractors! Sounds like the Generals were partners in crime with the contractors! Not one General was fired for a poor performance , or indicted for perjury! The real questions after the ending of the Afghan War are Why did we fight the war? and who is responsible for this disaster?
These is very important information Abby Martin is sharing with the world, but she does herself a disservice by presenting it as an amateur rock music video. It comes across as the same kind of claptrap vomited up by Fox or MSNBC and the silly soundtrack is such a distraction that I find it difficult to focus on the actual content of her stories and I generally skip them for less sensationalist reporting. She can do better than this.
