Lancet: Western #sanctions have killed 38 million since 1970

США расширили санкции. В частности санкции были наложены и в отношении более 90 физических и юридических лиц из России, Беларуси, Британских Виргинских островов, Болгарии, Казахстана, Кыргызстана, КНР, Сербии, ЮАР, Турции, ОАЭ и других стран. https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy2404 #sanctions

Насколько санкции (экономически) эффективны? Чтобы понять, насколько экономические санкции помогают или не помогают достичь целей, которые есть у вводящих их стран, требуется проанализировать широкую литературу по вопросу. Новая статья мета-анализа (2021) пробует проверить, правда ли опубликованные статьи демонстрируют статистически значимый эффект от санкций. Исследуются статьи с 1985 по 2018 годы, и три основных переменных влияния - торговые связи (trade linkage), длина санкций (sanction duration) и предшествующие отношения стран (prior relations). Предварительный анализ демонстрирует, что вроде бы значимое влияние есть, но проблемой оказывается то, что статьи страдают от так называемого "публикационного смещения" (publication bias). Именно, результаты статей, которые дошли до журналов, оказываются сдвинутыми в сторону гипотезы о значимом влиянии, а это означает, что "природный эффект" скорее около нуля, чем положительный. То есть - вероятно, что экономические санкции могут оказаться неэффективными для целей, которые ставят перед собой страны, их вводящие. #Sanctions

🖊OPINION | US Imperialism Enters a New Stage: The Left Needs to Take a Close Look at It Steve Ellner takes stock of a new stage of US imperialism and the role of the Left in challenging its advance. The column states that US foreign policy has placed Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba in a “de facto state of war,” marked by sanctions, military measures, and enforcement actions. It cites the January 3, 2026 kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores, alongside expanded US monitoring and interdiction of oil shipments. At the same time, it argues that the Left must reassess its analysis, give greater weight to resistance against US aggression, and frame its criticism of governments within the context of sustained external pressure.

The initiative includes marches, assemblies, and cultural activities, with a final event scheduled in Caracas on April 30. Government officials, including Delcy Rodríguez and Jorge Rodríguez, led opening mobilizations, while sectors of the moderate opposition also expressed support.

📑🖊 OPINION | What July 5th Taught Me That July 4th Never Did Michelle Ellner, a Venezuelan-American activist and CODEPINK campaigner, reflects on what July 5th in Venezuela taught her that July 4th in the U.S. never did. While the U.S. commemorates its independence with celebrations, Venezuela’s July 5 marks an ongoing struggle for sovereignty — one met with sanctions, asset freezes, and foreign interference. Ellner recalls the 2002 U.S.-backed coup against Chávez and a broader campaign of economic warfare that continues under Nicolás Maduro. “True independence,” she writes, “is the right to choose your own path without being punished for it.” Read the full opinion piece here: https://shorturl.at/wTnKc #Sanctions#USVenezuelaRelations
