It’s the guns. Not the doors. Not video games. Not Godlessness. It is the guns. It’s the fucking guns. It’s the guns. The guns. The guns. For fuck’s sake, what are we doing?
New work at #SEHO2022 by @ben_crost@kathy_baylis@AdiShrinivas exploits India's National Food Security Act of 2013 and finds that food transfers led to a moderate reduction in labor supply.
What's missing from Germany's debate on an energy embargo is just how asymmetric an embargo would be. Russia is a gas station. If you embargo energy, that shuts down the gas station and GDP will collapse. Germany will get hit, but much less. A highly effective, peaceful weapon...
Wenn #scholz unbeirrt weiter die Karre vor die Wand fährt, muss man über Alternativen zu dieser Koalition sprechen. Deutschland braucht eine Regierung, die außenpolitisch an einem Strang zieht und die nicht von der #SPD Russland connection sabotiert wird
Der ehemalige Wirtschaftsberater Putins, Andrei Illiarioniov, sagt: „Ein echtes Embargo gegen russische Energieträger würde den Krieg gegen die Ukraine innerhalb von 1-2 Monaten beenden. Ein Energieembargo ist eines der sehr wenigen wirksamen Instrumente.“ https://t.co/lcwtg5xkCW
After Putin’s atrocities in Kramatorsk, Bucha, Mariupol, what more do European leaders need to decide on a full ban and embargo on Russian fossil fuels including gas and goods ?
Stop financing Putin’s war machine !
Neue Studie zeigt: Auch ohne russische Importe ist die Energieversorgung in DE jetzt & im Winter gesichert. Voraussetzung: Energiesparen plus verstärkte Lieferungen aus anderen #Ergaslieferländern. #Russland#UkraineKrieg@CKemfert

“Germany will continue, shamefully, to be the weakest link in the democratic world’s response to Russian aggression.”
Der Schaden für das Ansehen Deutschlands in der Welt ist enorm. Paul mit einer harschen aber treffenden Analyse der Berliner Untätigkeit

German leaders should consider what their objections to harder sanctions against Russia will do to Germany's reputation. I don't think Germans will enjoy being asked about why Germany didn't do what it could to stop Russia for a generation to come.
if you're European and you're not ashamed right now, then you're not paying attention. tell your prime minister, tell your president, tell your Chancellor that you're ashamed.
For anyone who thinks 🇩🇪 GDP would fall by 5%+ on energy ban:
do you *really* think this shock would be bigger than 🇮🇹 euro crisis?
& btw "mass poverty" claims put Greek experience in perspective. Ofc, Greeks "deserved it" for their bad policy choices.
Oh, wait a minute 🤔
Your strategy of incremental sanctions doesn’t work. Cannot work…
That’s why 212 members of Parliament demand a special #EUCO meeting to decide on full sanctions immediately!

Wir müssen jetzt handeln und Druck auf die Regierung ausüben, ein Embargo auf russisches Öl und Gas zu verhängen. Kontaktiert eure Abgeordneten und Parteien. Kontaktinfo für die Bundestagsfraktionen im 🧵. Deutschland muss aufhören Kriegsverbrechen zu finanzieren!
