How American sanctions against Ukraine work

Yesterday, many entrepreneurs with Ukrainian passports who own American companies and use the services of the bank “Mercury” received a letter with approximately the following content:

“In connection with the recent changes, we stop supporting the accounts of companies whose founders have passports of these countries: Belarus, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Syria, Ukraine, Venezuela”.

For any business, switching banks is a major operational challenge and pain.

Therefore, this trend is very frightening, because it is definitely not the kind of “support” you expect from partners who know that Ukraine is fighting an aggressor for the third year in a row.

Also, many notice that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, many American and European sites block traffic from Ukraine, and you can only access them through a VPN. I was told about the situation regarding the TNW conference, with Ukrainian flag and “We Stand With Ukraine” banner on their website: it was not possible to buy tickets from Ukraine, simply without explanation: block. There are many other stories, including the difficulty of sending currency to Ukraine.

The situation is critical, because without publicity, help and lobbying, we risk losing the opportunity to work normally on the global market.

Reading Jeff Stein's piece on US economic warfare via sanctions is 1) horrifying and 2) timely, considering the spate of recent posts on how Palestinian gfms are ~suspicious~ and are the result of a network of scammers and not actually desperate people in need. Plenty of other people more knowledgeable about the money transfer process to get refugees into Egypt have written about this at length, it's not like Palestinians are making this needlessly convoluted to make their cause easier for scammers to capitalize on! It's the direct effect of cruel US foreign economic policy!

I don't know what is happening but Tumblr is showing me adds from Venezuelan businesses (although we supposedly have international sanctions so that shouldn't be allowed???) and God, I will never be able to explain to foreigners how strange it is to see a Mango Bajito add in this site.

hey just a thing. especially for usamericans. when you see stuff from gaza and think “oh my god, it’s so horrible that these people don’t get to have medications they need due to israel blocking access! israel is so evil for doing that.”

never forget that your goverment regularly does, and is doing the same to many countries.

many have lost access to simple things such as over the counter pain medication, either due to overly high cost or simply lack of supply, due to sanctions placed and i damn well hope you guys will be banging down the doors of your political representatives so they stop harming the most vulnerable whilst acting like they’re sanctioning a state, not their people.

so why do you support iran the regime that quite literally executes women for not wearing hijab

We don't "support the Iranian regime", we support Iranian sovereignty and the right to choose their own direction, their own path and their own government without the military, economic, political and media interference of the entire Western bloc aligned against it, warping and stunting its development.

Exactly. We can have immigrants or blowback.

Putin's Blunder

Bwahahahahahahaha! I swear, I thought about this possibility but would have had to edit a whole lot to include it in the earlier post and was way too lazy for that. Also, I’m slow enough as it is. But anyway, what a difference a day makes, huh? I did wonder if Putin was stupid enough to capitalize on the reduced intelligence that Ukraine was getting. Trump had made it crystal clear he wasn’t…

In dieser Folge stehen Trumps geopolitische Pläne im Mittelpunkt. Besonders umstritten ist sein Vorhaben, den Gazastreifen unter US-Kontrolle zu bringen und ihn wirtschaftlich zu entwickeln: "Die USA werden den Gazastreifen übernehmen. Wir werden ihn besitzen", so Trump. Nach massiver Kritik versuchten US-Vertreter die Aussagen zu entschärfen, doch Trump hält an der Idee fest, Gaza nach dem Krieg langfristig unter amerikanische Verwaltung zu stellen. Parallel dazu plant Israels Verteidigungsminister Katz, die Palästinenser zur Auswanderung zu bewegen und fordert europäische Staaten wie Spanien, Irland und Norwegen auf, sie aufzunehmen: "Es würde ihre ‘Heuchelei’ enthüllen, wenn sie sich weigerten."

Weitere Themen sind Trumps Sanktionen gegen den Internationalen Strafgerichtshof, die Auflösung von USAID und ein möglicher Friedensplan für den Ukraine-Krieg. Laut Daily Mail könnte ein Waffenstillstand bereits im April erfolgen, wobei die Ukraine russische Gebiete räumen und die EU den Wiederaufbau finanzieren soll. Außerdem wird über die Eskalation im Kongo und Putins jüngste Aussagen zur historischen Verantwortung Deutschlands gesprochen.
