the program great to have you today i'm going to start on the latest the white house is preparing a neuron of sanctions against russia now moscow says those already imposed are having very little fact do you think u.s. is failing in isolating russia well i i think that i think that they are feeling in isolating russia because. not many people are going to go along with these these types of sanctions the europeans have too much to lose too high stakes for europe they've got their own internal red line they believe they have drawn and i don't think they're going they're prepared to cross that i believe it poses an x is a. threat to the euro zone so the u.s. doesn't have much skin in this game therefore they're going to be more bellicose and more militaristic in these sanctions but still like all those talks of sanctions are kind of scaring people away how much do you believe russia's economy will suffer from all the turmoil will investments grind to a halt. oh i don't think so not in my experience not not given my experience working all over the world for the past since one nine hundred eigh
