Sanctions targeting the Russian economy have been West’s most immediate response Moscow’s war in Ukraine. The measures aim to limit Kremlin’s ability to raise money for its war efforts. The EU and its allies have agreed on energy embargoes, froze, financial assets, and implemented restrictions targeting more than 1,400 individuals. These measures come top of sanctions the EU implemented after Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014. So what has been achieved with the latest sanctions? DW anchor Chris Kober speaks with Nicholas Mulder, Modern European History professor at Cornell University and author of “The Economic Weapon: The Rise of Sanctions as a Tool of Modern War.”

The US's sanctions against Russia have already been overcome with alternatives, weakening US global economic hegemony. International payments can be made without using the US SWIFT system. Further, According to the Wall Street Journal, Saudi Arabia is in talks to sell oil to China and be paid in yuan instead of dollars. Meanwhile, the G7 economies are struggling with high energy and cost of living costs. Even the US economy cannot do well when the rest of the G7 is in recession. All of this has undermined the dollar's status as the reserve currency, with even G7 countries selling US treasury bonds. The result has been to empower China and the BRICS+ countries, whose combined economy is now larger than the US-led G7. We are now adjusting to a new multipolar world order."

The dollar is growing in world trade. That is a fact. All this talk about displacing it is years away. Saudis aren’t taking other currencies yet. Why would they? They have a currency that is pegged to the dollar. What currency would they rather use? Ruble? Collapsing. Yuan? Collapsing. Holding dollars right now is paying over 5%. The facts are not changeable with words. Look at actions. Brics hasn’t done a thing to make a currency and most of the countries peg their currencies to the dollar. Even more with the new additions. Look at Argentina is now talking about using the dollar as their currency. I like facts, not talking points.

The data provided by the EU miss some very essential points. 1. Oil revenue fell 27% regarsing 2022. Yes it did! But 2022 has been a crazy year for oil revenu for Russia. 2021 was already top high but 2022 is considered as an "anomaly" due to the unrealistic prices (gaz and oil). Russia us still having immense amount of revenue and will most likely make as much as in 2021. 2. Yeah a lot of EU companies pulled out of Russia. But how many were replaced by asian/indian competitors? How many local businesd have been created to provide the servives the westerns companies were doing? The business may have closed but the people, know how and equipment was still there. Furthermore, a lot of companies just rebranded but are still there. The US still have the highest share of businesses operating in Russia. 3. Auto production has been a global problem due to multiples factors (chips, inflation, increase of price and problem with supply chain, etc.) This is a global tendancy and a sign of lack of capacity of the midle class to affors a "normal" living standart. 4. Well the froozen asset. Would have been nice to mention that Russia has been stockpilint gold crazy since 2014. The froozen assest are as well owned by Oligarch. By freezing those assets, a significant amount of Oligarch ended up badly as they havent been able to utilize this money. Those assests will be given back as soon as the situation is back to business as usual. As a last statement, the western economy has a status quo with the BRICS, I wouldn't bet on the old Europe for future econolic growth. At the end of the day, ask the Europeans household if there situation has been improving since 10 years.
