Weird ad-homenums: political science is not a science. He’s not an economist. He’s young. He has an anti-russian bias (he’s literally russian… perhaps you mean anti putin bias?) The point you just ceded was exactly my point. Not all experts agree. You said originally that sanctions were “obviously not working”. If it was so obvious, wouldn’t the experts agree? Either way, I’m not resting my entire world view on the word of one man in an npr article. So attacking him doesn’t matter to the point. I’m saying I’ve yet to hear anyone credible, i.e. outside of comments sections, say what you are saying. Instead of attacking the expert I’ve cited, maybe bring your own expert to the table? Just make sure they’re old, are definitely an economist, they love putin, and have never studied polisci in their life.
