Do Sanctions Work? – https://youtu.be/L3BsXm1hiK8
Yesterday Putin announced a full-scale attack on Ukraine, with him committing to ‘fix the issues’ in the country. Most aren’t convinced by this, so in this video we explain how Russia is actually invading, if they’re headed to Kyiv and if Europe is now officially at war.

Earlier this week, a trade war broke about between the US and Canada. But the EU, a more Canada-aligned ally, appears to have a pretty muted response so far. So, in this video, we’re taking a look at the escalating US-Canada trade war, how it’s pushing Canada towards the EU and how the EU is responding.

This looks like the NATO aggression on Serbia in 1999, only worse. But same situation (region where terrorists backed by a bigger country try do take control), same pretext (defending that region from legitmate government), same disregard for human lives (killing hundreds of civilians)… Also same in exposing hypocrisy of "allies" (Russia didn't do anything in 1999 to stop the war and Europe isn't doing anything to stop this war). Incredible how history repeats itself in this mirrored situation. And again, innocent people die for some big power's interests.
