Hey Angry Planet listeners. No new episodes this week. We recorded some but, uh, Russia invaded Ukraine.
At the top Matthew walks you through what happened and what we’re working on. After that, we’re re-airing an old episode about the use of sanctions as a weapon of war.
This is a commercial free version of our regular program available exclusively to subscribers. To listen for free, but with commercials, go here.
Once upon a time, an enemy would pull up to your gates with his army and surround your city so that nothing could get in or out. In a short time, you’d be eating the horses, maybe the rats and, if things got bad enough and you weren’t entirely suicidal, you’d open the gates. Sometimes that would work out OK. Sometimes not.
Nowadays, countries wanting something from each other seem to have more options, but one that’s still around is the siege. We just call the sanctions.
To discuss sanctions, their effectiveness and where they are currently applied by the United States, we are joined by Ambassador Daniel Fried. Fried spent a lifetime working at the state department, is an expert on sanctions, and is now at the Atlantic Council, a prominent Washington think tank. He’s got a new paper coming out on Nov. 17 with recommendations for the incoming administration.
