Episode notes
Economic Warfare
- A new form of warfare is emerging, primarily economic.
- This involves seizing assets, disrupting supply routes, and crippling infrastructure, as seen with Russia.
Impact of Sanctions
- Russian airspace is clear because companies like Boeing and Airbus pulled support, hindering their operations.
- Refiners and shippers won't handle Russian oil and LNG due to sanctions and insurance issues.
Purpose of Sanctions
- Sanctions aim to inflict pain to deter aggression, even if it causes disruptions like limited Netflix access or wheat shortages.
- This pain is preferable to war and is meant to pressure change.
