A Recent History of U.S. Sanctions Against Russia
When a direct military confrontation is off the table, how should countries respond to acts of foreign aggression?

Ron Paul is optimistic about the benefits of past and ongoing efforts in libertarian education. That is an early topic of discussion in John Stossel’s newly released interview with Paul.Paul then proceeds to address in the wide-ranging, 43-minutes interview other matters including monetary policy and the United States government’s interventions overseas.Off and on in the interview, Stossel references, and includes video from, an earlier interview Stossel had with Paul when Paul was running in the 2008 presidential election.
Even if you have followed Ron Paul in his communicating of libertarian ideas through the Ron Paul Institute and his Ron Paul Liberty Report show, as well as his earlier work in the United States House of Representatives and presidential runs, you are likely to find out some new information about the man in a new interview of Paul by Max Raskin.In the interview, Paul discusses some things he does not often address in interviews or speeches, such as Paul’s reading of the bible and Paul’s morning routines.
The United States government is busy banning and sanctioning virtually all things Russian. Meanwhile, big money media and social media are nearly uniformly proclaiming anti-Russia sentiment and working hard to limit Americans’ exposure of contrary information. In this context, it is little surprise that last week RT America, with its connection to the government of Russia, ceased broadcasting.
