DESCRIPTION:The US Empire is now sanctioning 40 countries, most visibly Russia, Iran, 
 Venezuela, and Cuba. These sanctions, a violation of international law, are 
 explicitly aimed destabilizing and overturning countries that defy US 
 hegemony. Sanctions are a devastating weapon of choice, deliberately 
 causing widespread starvation, disease, and poverty in the targeted 
 countries. In every case, the poorest and the weakest – infants, 
 children, the chronically ill and the elderly – suffer the worst impact 
 of sanctions. This webinar will discuss the deadly effects of US sanctions 
 as a weapon of war and explain how nations are building new forms of 
 resistance and survival.\n\nThe largest number of sanctioned countries are 
 in Africa, deliberately disrupting development. Throughout West Asia 
 strangling U.S. economic sanctions in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, 
 Iran, and Yemen go hand and hand with U.S. / Israeli bombing.\n\nBut US 
 sanctions, along with Trump’s tariffs and wars, have failed to reverse 
 the decline of the US Empire. They are accelerating a unified global 
 resistance and movement towards multipolarity, as can be seen in the 
 growing influence of BRICS and regional trade alliances. The failure of 
 sanctions inevitably pushes the US into military and covert actions 
 attempting to overthrow governments that will not capitulate or compromise 
 their sovereignty.\n\nThis webinar will discuss the deadly effects of US 
 sanctions as a weapon of war and explain how nations are building new forms 
 of resistance and survival.\n\nPresenter\n\nSara Flounders is a political 
 writer, activist and anti-war organizer since the 1960s. She helps 
 coordinate the International Action Center (IAC), United National Antiwar 
 Coalition(UNAC) and the SanctionsKill Campaign.\n\n
