Jeffrey Sonnenfeld - Russia has Become a Malign Genocidal Entity and its Collapse Should be Welcomed

Harvard’s Lawrence Tribe has forcefully remarked, “there can be no justification for halfway measures, let alone for doing nothing while Ukraine is destroyed. Inaction is an illusion: it would represent a cowardly decision to appease and to encourage further aggression around the world.” Similarly, 80 years ago, FDR warned, “The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.” Interpreting that in the context of Russia’s illegal violation of Ukraine’s sovereign borders, Jeffrey Sonnenfeld argues that now is the time to act and seize Russia’s $300 billion in frozen assets to support a Ukrainian victory over an imperialistic aggressor.
----------
Jeffrey Sonnenfeld is Lester Crown Professor of Leadership Practice and a Senior Associate Dean of the Yale School of Management. He helped catalyse the retreat of 1,200 global corporations from Russia, and now strongly advocates for seized Russian Central Bank assets to be passed to Ukraine. Sonnenfeld is known as the founder and CEO of the Chief Executive Leadership Institute (CELI), affiliated with Yale University and for convening Yale's semi-annual CEO Summits, which have drawn thousands of CEOs over the years to engage in off-the-record peer-to-peer conversations.
We discuss topics such as "why the IMF naively 'endorses' Putin's fake economic stats."

He was basically ‘persuaded’ when the CIA visited him for a brief to behave himself. Consequently, he became a different person overnight. Indeed, he is now a hawk instead of a Russian agent. Amazing what happens when the establishment people visit you to lubricate your brain with the correct oil type 😂. If Trump wins the presidency, he will get the same treatment. They will wait to see if he behaves, or he will get a Jesus meeting to put his mind straight. We love the CIA and pentagon’s rulers when hey take charge.

Despite the efforts of international law, the world is still falling short of its ideals. Putin's actions, in particular, are a notable example of this failure. In the early stages of the war he started, Putin publicly declared on television that he would no longer recognize or honour any international agreements made by past Russian governments. This statement has significant implications, as it essentially nullifies Russia's legal right to participate in international organizations such as the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and many others. In light of this, it is time for the international community to take a firm stance and impose consequences on Putin and Russia. Issue the eviction notices to leave all these offices, embassies, The UN and other facilities located in other countries, as well as reclaiming the land they occupy. In the end, Russia legally has no more Veto power in the UN as they are there illegally as per Putin's denouncing all former agreements made by others. Time to show Putin & Russia the door.

This kind of childish conception of international relations in terms of black-and-white moral absolutes, employed highly selectively against some and literally never against others, is why the entire world outside of Europe and its former colonies is rapidly realigning itself outside the West, and negotiating how to structure alternative international institutions to facilitate trade & commerce such that they'll function fairly, consistently & impartially - unlike the Euro-American post-war projects that were always biased to benefit the West at others' expense. You don't need to be a non-Westerner to recognise that the UN, IMF, WTO et. al. all function as tools of Western dominance & exploitation. You just need to have a brain, and know how to use it. Something entirely foreign to regular viewers of this channel, no doubt.

@Hits-dr4lt 4 месяца назад

@@lachlanbell8390 I respectfully disagree with your perspective, which appears to be influenced by a limited understanding of international finance and growth of nations economics. Despite not being American, I have spent over 50 years studying international finance and various geographic fields, and I have a comprehensive understanding of the global financial landscape and capital flow. To better understand the growth of nations, I recommend familiarizing yourself with the 1930 Banking codes and the 1933 SEC regulations in the United States. These regulations have had a profound impact on the economic development of nations and their ability to move out of economic cycles. China's current economic status is largely attributed to the USA's granting of exclusive special trade status and later the 1930s SEC regulations, which allowed the Chinese Communist Party to access bailout funding after the Asian currency crisis in the 1990s through the US financial system and markets under the same conditions and rules as other countries. However, China cheated by transferring its federal debt to provincial banks' balance sheets, claiming they were almost debt-free, and securing lower interest rates on new debt issues sold in the US finance system. The Belt and Road initiative has led many countries to become entangled in unfair deals, with China later altering the terms. This is reminiscent of a dictatorship's tactics. In contrast, the USA was the first to adopt international fair practices for foreign issuers, making it impossible for such exploitation to occur under its regulations. Additionally, exploring the Middle East from the 1930s onwards or the collapse of the USSR and the UK and USA's introduction of advanced oil extraction technology to help them rebuild and become financially viable again could provide valuable insights. However, this progress was undone by a single individual who prioritized hoarding wealth for the few and providing scraps to the rest, rather than promoting fair distribution across the economy. Regarding the USA, domestically, middle-class workers have been forced to pay for everything and are even ripped off of their government-controlled pension savings trust accounts (as seen in May 1983's "The Great Social Security Heist"). This has led to strains in the US system today, as well as similar policies adopted by other Western countries that have caused problems for their people. I believe that your statements are based on spin and reflect your limited knowledge about international finance, capital flow, and growth of nation cycles.

I agree but the Belgian company Euroclear is apparently scared to release these funds. They are claiming this is because there is a fear of litigation if a cease fire between Ukraine and Russia is signed. Theoretically this could imply Russia can sue Euroclear for their losses and the company would be bankrupt. Euroclear themselves advocate for a legal pathway to releasing these funds but only if they do not risk losing their company.

Thank you so much, Jonathan, for inviting Jeffrey Sonnenfeld. I was quite disappointed that it was so short.

Whenever I need to buy something, I check, what the corporation's status is and don't buy if they still haven't received the "Suspension" grade. Thank you so much, Jeffrey Sonnenfeld and Team, for providing us with the database and for updating it regularly. It would be great to have an extended conversation about your work and how consumers can increase pressure on the corporations as well as our representatives, to stop their business in the terrorist state. My country has one of the most horrendous black sheep (Raiffeisen BI, "Digging In", the last bank allowing foreign currency transfers, if I am not misinformed), and I would love to find out how to fight it and get all profits they have amassed since February 24, 2022 transferred to Ukraine.

If the West does the same as it did in 1938, that is, nothing, then RuZZia will not stop in Ukraine, and NATO will be dragged into it. European countries will be in the line of fire next. RuZZia is not gentle when it takes over an area. This is what I refer to when I say that freedom is on the line. Sacrificing our morality refers to not backing Ukraine unreservedly and letting it happen even though we know better.

Rebuilding is reality for Ukraine and every second it is let waiting is time lost for the Ukrainian people and businesses to support themselves.. Additionally, The European Central Bank has been a true rock around the neck of the defense industry's ability to expand production in smaller countries such as the Czech Republic until recently, but again, slow to come to TERMS, slow to act while the industry itself was starved for capital to meet demand. The faster the Russian collapse, the better for every living entity on the planet. Thanks, Jonathan, for bringing him back to us.

Yes, colonial russia should be encouraged to collapse. BUT, "the west" needs to plan for and be ready for it. The plan should be to offer support (money and guidance) to the resulting small countries. The idea is to pick up nukes and the help them to become democratic countries rather than dictatorships or kleptocracies like current russia. Basically the equivalent of the WWII Marshall plan. We found out what happens when we tried to let post soviet russia try on its own to create a democracy/capitalist system. It kind of worked for a few years, but then a hardliner from the bad old days, putler, got control and all of it's gains were lost/stolen. I agree there is too much foot dragging in the west about providing support to Ukraine. Russian economy numbers are all fiction. It is no surprise that the IMF is not getting info from russia.

The die was cast within days of the invasion when the 1200+ global corporations that built post 1991 Russia, maintained it, kept its industry in good repair, and other nations opened their markets to Russian trade. Konstantin filled in the missing element I didn't know, that Russia produces nothing on their own. They sat back and raked in money from oil and gas and let external technology and investment do all of the work. I'll tell you as an engineer having worked on all kinds of facilities in many industries for nearly 50 years, my expert opinion is that the sanctions and departure of these companies and everything else that made Russia what it was on February 23, 2022 will inevitably result in the slow but relentless degradation of Russia's industrial economy. In short Russia is being deindustrialized. It isn't going back to 1991, it's going back to 1791 and there is no power on earth that can stop it. The US is in control of the world's economy, technology, and is by far the strongest military power. The efforts to de-dollarize and end American hegemony are hopeless. The so called BRICS should be called the BROKES. Besides the catastrophic mistakes Russia and China made, the blundering of the Biden regime has resulted in what could be a global depression whose only survivor may be the United States. The entire world is drowning in an ocean of unpayable debt. Because the US dollar is the world's reserve currency, once all other currencies become worthless the US can print an ocean of money to pay off that debt without devaluation compared to other currencies. Income price inflation is the enemy of debt. It makes it possible to pay off old expensive debt with much cheaper easy to get new money. The banks will get whacked which is what they deserved. Deregulation of the financial industry under Gramm Leach Blyly and repeal of Glass Steagall was about as stupid an action as the US government could have taken managing the economy. Self regulation of an industry is the same as no regulation. "There's something about markets I don't understand" Alan Greenspan testifying before Congress in late 2008. BTW, as a substitute for money, gold is about as dumb an idea as there is because the amount of gold in the world is finite but the amount of wealth that can be created isn't. As a material for other applications, it's virtually worthless. Besdes ornamental objects, it's good for electroplating low voltage electrical connectors because it doesn't tarnish. Silver is a better conductor.
