Sanctions have become arguably THE principal instrument of U.S. foreign policy But how do they actually work? I had little idea before starting this story and feel many don't know So we illustrated the process, via 1 Russian billionaire's $90M yacht washingtonpost.com/business/…

NEW: THE STAGGERING RISE OF AMERICA'S GLOBAL ECONOMIC WARFARE 1st in a series @federicacocco & I found: 1. ~1/3 of all nations on Earth now face some form of US sanctions. Huge increase from when mostly applied to Cuba & a handful of regimes 2. *60%* of *all poor countries* are under US sanctions of some kind. Has become almost a reflex of US foreign policy 3. Sanctions have spawned multi-billion-dollar lobbying & influence industry, enriching former US officials who are hired by foreign countries & oligarchs 4. Sanctions have had devastating effects on innocent civilians. In Cuba, they've made critical medical supplies impossible to import. In Venezuela, they contributed to a financial collapse 3X greater than the US Great Depression. Syria faces its greatest humanitarian crisis this year after a decade civil war & sanctions. 5. Treasury staffers drafted a ~40 page plan aimed at reforming the sanctions process that was dramatically whittled down amid disagreements w/ State 6. OFAC is widely described as overwhelmed by tens of thousands of requests. WH officials have brainstormed sanctions scenarios w/ outside nonprofits 7. Biden has unleashed unprecedented volley of 6K sanctions in 2 years. Higher than even previously unprecedented rate of Trump. “We don’t think about the collateral damage of sanctions the same way we think about the collateral damage of war ... But we should.” More to come. Read our first story here: washingtonpost.com/business/…

Our 24-hour strike has begun. For the first time in 50 years, @washingtonpost workers are walking off the job because our company is refusing to bargain in good faith and breaking the law.

Workers @washingtonpost have been in contract negotiations with our bosses for 18 months. But the company is refusing to pay us what we’re worth or bargain in good faith. So on Dec. 7, we’re walking off the job for 24 hours.

A letter to our dedicated readers: On Dec. 7, we ask you to respect our walkout by not crossing the picket line: For 24 hours, please do not engage with any Post content. That includes our print online news stories, podcasts, videos, games and recipes. docs.google.com/document/d/1…
