For those who haven’t noticed [Republican hawks], the sanctions on Russia have not worked. The Russian people endured mass starvation at the hands of the Germans (and their own ineptitude). Economic sanctions don’t ever work – they cause wars. By making existential threats on Russian and Iran, the thought of global economic collapse doesn’t frighten them. Americans don’t yet know what eating sawdust to avoid death feels like.

Back in my youth, the opera Nixon in China was a big deal. Henry Kissinger apparently still runs US foreign policy
The Kissinger reference requires clarification
