From VICII:

"Join VICII and Peter Lackowski, who has been visiting Venezuela since 2005, witnessing the effect that sanctions have had on that country and its revolution. Will sanctions continue to work for the US as they have in the past? Or will a new alignment of nations make sanctions ineffective?

As the war in Ukraine continues, the United States and its allies have put in place what they call "sanctions" against Russia. These are economically coercive measures that have become one of the principal means of exerting US power, and have caused considerable suffering among the populations of the targeted countries.

Since Venezuela has been subjected to US sanctions for several years, it is a good example to use in considering the phenomenon of sanctions. What is their purpose? How do they work? What are their effects? How can a country respond to them? Can they be overcome? What are the limitations on what can be accomplished by sanctions when they are applied to a country the size of Russia rather than a country like Venezuela? What about blowback--will sanctions on Russia end up damaging the economies of the US and its allies?"

From VICII:

"Mainstream media endlessly reports that the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin is a mad dictator without world support in his invasion in Ukraine. According to the American press, President Putin is isolated and friendless in his pursuit for power and hegemony in Eastern Europe and perhaps beyond those borders.

Yet, upon careful examination of the media rhetoric, a different reality is emerging: when the press is reporting of Putin's isolation they speak only of the NATO countries, the majority of which are the white nations of the first and capitalist world. Almost never is there news about the nations of color in the Middle East, Asia, Latin America , the Caribbean or Africa. No news either of the developing BRICS nations of Brazil, Russia, India, China or South Africa. Where are they in the midst of this new war which might become WWIII?"
