The White House has no doubts about the effectiveness of anti-Russian sanctions

96
Western sanctions had a negative effect on the Russian economy and limited Moscow’s ability to respond to the fall in oil prices Look White House spokesman Josh Ernest.



When asked by the journalists, “Is the strengthening of the American support of NATO countries connected with the ineffectiveness of pressure measures applied by Washington to Moscow?” Ernest replied: “The United States and our European allies were able to effectively coordinate the imposition of sanctions. This had a negative effect on their (Russian) economy. ”

According to him, “The decline in energy prices was one of the main reasons for the difficulties that Russia faced, but the ability of the Russian economy to respond to this was limited to sanctions.”

However, Washington "does not see the change in strategy (RF)," which he hoped for, Ernest said.

Nevertheless, “the US is ready to relax sanctions as soon as Russia demonstrates a desire to fulfill its obligations, which it assumed during the negotiations in Minsk,” he added.

Meanwhile, State Department spokesman John Kirby on Tuesday was unable to explain the position of Washington, who spoke about the draft of the next bill, which is designed to strengthen the regime of anti-Russian sanctions.

        This is all understandable, but how would our people endure the decline in consumer opportunities? Only this bothers me. Now, if they had done it later years on 30, then I have no doubt that they would have succeeded in throwing off the power existing in Russia. In the meantime, the children of the USSR in the prime of life, Russia has a chance.

              The United States resembles a drunken neighbor who regularly spoils a decent family on the neighboring rug at the door of the apartment when they left for the summer for the summer. And he constantly calls them and voices on the answering machine the conditions under which he will spoil less (or thinner). The family has a wonderful rest in the country, and their neighbor, an alcoholic, sleeps every night on a smelly area, because his wife does not let him go home with drinking bouts.

        We still won’t give up Crimea, and without this, sanctions will not be lifted.

        - There is an incident.

        First: what is meant by the thesis of "the effectiveness of sanctions"?
        If harm - yes, there is an effect.
        If the achievement of the result is the "withdrawal" of Russia from the Donbass, the "return" (!?) Of the Crimea - then a fig and butter!

        The second point - my opinion - no matter how paradoxical it sounds - the return of Crimea is not profitable for the Americans;

        Donbass will end sooner or later. And there is simply no reason to extend the sanctions (if there weren’t Crimea). And so - there is a reason for implementing the doctrine of containment of Russia.

        Otherwise, "containment" turns into a major dirty trick, which does not fit into any "partnership", "democracy" and America's "prosperity" to the whole world.

        Sanctions will not be lifted either with Crimea or without Crimea. And this is not a sanction at all, but a targeted embargo. A sanction is responsibility for violation of the law, rules, imposed on the guilty party by a competent and competent authority. In international law, such a body is the UN, and the sanction is expressed in its resolution. Therefore, the United States, which has proclaimed its "exclusiveness", deeply cheat on international law. Only those who organized them - the United States - benefit from these "sanctions" by increasing their trade with Russia. At the same time, Europe is being driven into the Atlantic trade union, and no matter how much they blather, they are expanding NATO's presence, turning the EU from an economic one into a military policeman.
        Introducing economic bans on a personal basis, and even without UN sanction against a WTO member, is generally paradoxical!

      Already tired of tyagomotin about the crisis and economic problems. We are fooled - there is no crisis. Evidence is on the surface.

      The cost of a barrel of oil in rubles is now 45,6x66 = 3010 rubles.
      The cost of a barrel of oil in May 2013 is 103x31,3 = 3193 rubles.
      As a result, the loss of profit from the sale of oil is 7,5%. Is this called a crisis? Only for those who spend money abroad.

      At the same time, there is simply a huge profit from all other exported goods, including weapons.
      Another question - why do we have such insane interest on a loan? This question is addressed to the Government and the Central Bank, and therefore - a rhetorical one. Lack of affordable borrowing is ruining the economy.

    Something to say is necessary. There would be no annexation of Crimea to Russia and events in the South-East of Ukraine ... there would be some other reason. Exactly occasionBecause cause exists for a long time. This is the desire of certain circles of the United States and others ... to weaken Russia, to bring it to collapse. For what the Houston project exists.
    “Houston Project”, presents a detailed study of the “Completion” phase. It is connected only with Russia and it no longer speaks about the dismemberment of the USSR (as in the Harvard project, on which it had already taken place). Here we are talking about the division of Russia into small states.
    According to the same plans:
    Siberia must move to the USA,
    Northwest - to Germany,
    South and Volga region - to Turkey,
    The Far East - to Japan to establish direct control over the raw materials of Siberia and D.Vostok.


    Plus, the United States believes that I am acting on absolutely legal grounds.

    In the United States, there is still a law "On enslaved nations" (PUBLIC LAW 86-90), according to which the United States must help get rid of "Russian communism, which enslaved the peoples of" Cossacks "(Kuban, Stavropol and Don) and" Idel - Ural ". Over the years, Russian diplomacy has failed to achieve the abolition of this law.
    Law PL86-90 was passed in the United States on July 17, 1959. It is also called the "law on the dismemberment of Russia." It follows from the document that the policy of communist Russia led to the enslavement and deprivation of national independence of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Ukraine, Belarus, Armenia, Georgia, Turkestan, Azerbaijan, Idel-Ural, Kazakiya, etc. We read in the text of the law: “Since these enslaved nations see the stronghold of human freedom in the United States, they seek their leadership in their liberation and independence and in the restoration of religious freedoms of Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist and other religions, as well as personal freedoms and since for the national security of the United States the unshakable support of the desire for freedom and independence shown by the peoples of these conquered nations is vitally necessary ... it is for us to properly formalize clearly to such peoples the historical fact that the people of the United States share their aspirations to regain freedom and independence".
    Every U.S. President takes an oath to enforce this law..

    And by and large, the "exceptional" sanctions against Russia are now more finishing off the EU. Moreover, they are preparing a "free trade agreement" with the EU, and they certainly do not need an economically strong Europe!

    In my opinion, there is a "homespun truth" in their statement. After all, they hit with sanctions purposefully and at specific addresses. And the first to suffer were the banking sector, the defense industry, the gas industry and the oil industry. A sharp decline in GDP, an increase in unemployment, an increase in inflation, a decline in living standards - well, what to hide, all this is present. The blow was powerful and sophisticated. I have to admit it. If it all fell on the EU, then I think it would be completely bent within a year. We, having received this blow, were still able to cope. Until recently, the Central Bank rate was 17,5%. Today it is already 11%. The industry focused on import supplies, at first with a creak, and then more and more confidently begins to do without these supplies. Gas workers and oilmen, no matter what, "stand to death" and already the Saudis, Qataris and others are beginning to squeak and creakily raise oil and gas prices. The banking system was torn down and the "especially gifted" were covered to hell. The rest worked as they should. I'm not talking about agricultural at all - everyone there thanks this lucky chance for them. Of course, there are still problem areas, especially in the social sphere, but I think everything will be settled here too. And now Europe is starting to talk more and more often about lifting the sanctions. At first in the form of conditions, but soon and without any conditions, the sanctions will be lifted.
    And all this infuriates the staff. The blow was strong and unexpected. We should have been asking for mercy for a long time and become obedient and furry. And the people only united, laughing at the states and the EU. Our Armed Forces show the world their strength, power and determination. And here it is a logical recognition: "The United States and our European allies were able to effectively coordinate the imposition of sanctions .... However, Washington" does not see the change in strategy (RF) "that it hoped for."

      In my opinion, there is a "homespun truth" in their statement. After all, they hit with sanctions purposefully and at specific addresses. And the first to suffer were the banking sector, the defense industry, the gas industry and the oil industry. A sharp decline in GDP, an increase in unemployment, an increase in inflation, a decline in living standards - well, what to hide, all this is present.

      To jump you need to sit down.
      First, agriculture will develop, surpluses will appear, then surpluses, surpluses will lead to the development of light industry, light industry will ultimately lead to the development of heavy industry, and then real capitalism will come to Russia with respect for the rights of citizens and respect for private property, because they will build this country themselves people and will not give any leader.

    "“The United States is ready to ease sanctions as soon as Russia demonstrates its desire to fulfill its obligations that it assumed during the negotiations in Minsk”"...

    Has Russia really signed an obligation in Minsk to return Crimea ??? laughing

    Indeed, the last extreme condition the other day from the United States on the possible lifting of sanctions was the return of Crimea to Ukraine ...

    Then give Alaska to Russia, Texas to Mexico, and for this we will not hooliganly fly over your ships and planes ... On one condition? they should not come close to our borders ...

    This is generally in the style of the White House: first to do something stupid, and then to defend and justify it until they themselves believe it. By the way, in Russia, sitting on a rock is called a white house. Now it is clear why such "thinkers" in America. on the forehead veins.

    It is necessary to impose additional sanctions against the geyropa and the United States (America’s engines, for example, do not supply rockets, the goat’s face to the geyropa ...) and declare their readiness to weaken them as soon as the West demonstrates its desire to fulfill its obligations that it assumed during the negotiations In Minsk.
    And until the conflict on the outskirts resolves, leave them in action and only intensify! Why such a simple thought will not occur to our authorities?
    Yes, I just go nuts in this zoo - they are waging a real war with us to destroy, and we are doing a blowjob to them. Ugh!

    Looking at how our wooden walks about "universal values", you understand that the directors are sitting
    in the white house overseas and the course is set there. It is enough that our main banks (SB, VTB) support sanctions
    against Crimea so far, having not opened their representative offices in Crimea for more than two years. These are banks with 50% state capital. What is this, like disbelief in the possibility of retaining Crimea as part of Russia.

    Now, if they had done this 30 years later, then I have no doubt that they would have succeeded in overthrowing the power existing in Russia. In the meantime, the children of the USSR in the prime of life, Russia has a chance.

    If they had checked it out about 18-15 years ago, it would have worked out. And with the children of the USSR.
    Then, very many blindly believed that the West, after the collapse of the USSR and its surrender by a corrupt elite, was a friend to us. And they have nothing wrong with us. The development of further events in time was shown by their true face and intentions that were already revealed today.
    Why do we need a Zelenogradsk cluster, as they say now? Do not. And what we need - we’ll buy it.
    Like Gaidar, he openly declared then ... And there are many such examples.
    We only wiser, not only by our own example, but by the example of the fraternal republics and countries.
    The result, as they say, is not concealed. Who now recalls that Bulgaria surpassed Turkey along with Greece in industrial potential and capabilities ?! In what ass are they sitting and yapping (working out 30 pieces of silver received for the predecessor), Baltic paper tigers ?! Yes, and information accessibility is now 3 orders of magnitude different.
    And how many lies do not lie, with an admixture of truth, for the most part the people perfectly understand where the ears are from and what this is being done for.

      As professional ornithologists say: - "A properly running woodpecker breaks through three trees and enters the fourth tree to the middle of the trunk, where it makes a nest."
      Mattresses are crippled, or even killed, in a collision with the first strong tree encountered on their way, because their chicken's beak is a completely different system.

    That's it, whoever read these sanctions, they were created against the Kremlin and officials, they do not concern the common people. Against the issuance of loans to Russian banks, which transferred them to the people and small and medium-sized businesses at a crazy interest. And against the oil industry and the military-industrial complex, well, here there must be import substitution. They do not concern the people. And the fact that they introduced anti-sanctions, this is against the people.
