July 27, 2017 – Daniel McAdams on the latest Russia sanctions – Episode 4483

Executive director of the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity Daniel McAdams returns to the show to discuss his latest article, “House Passes New Russia Sanctions, Pumps Adrenaline into Cold War 2.0.” McAdams recaps the latest vote for sanctions against Russia, Iran and North Korea, which passed nearly unanimously, why the overwhelming support makes it unlikely Trump will veto the bill, and how sanctions on Russia will act as a form of protectionism for the U.S. energy industry with far reaching consequences for the European and U.S. economy. Dan and Scott then revisit the Bush years, and lament that it’s unlikely even Jeb Bush would have surrounded by as many neocons as Trump has. Finally, McAdams discusses how spending trillions of dollars a year on phantom threats around the world such as Iran and North Korea has done serious damage to the U.S. economy and the lives of ordinary people and why, if you’re really concerned about the Russians, the looming danger is the eventual collapse of the U.S. dollar.
