Biden implemented economic sanctions on Russia, removing it from the SWIFT banking system.

So you have to take one step back to how Biden was actually wanting to dismantle the US economy because of his globalist agenda, right? So when the Russia Ukraine conflict started, what did Biden do? And we talked about this. We talked about this way back then. Is he put the nuclear sanction, basically economic sanction, not nuclear sanction, but the nuclear economic sanction on Russia and said, We're going to remove you from the SWIFT system, which is the settlements for all banks. So he's basically saying, Hey, Russia, we're going to starve out your people. You're not going to get any money into your banking system.

Alex Jones ignores the harmful impact of new economic sanctions on Iranian civilians to focus on trivial aspects of Trump's speech.

Also, Trump announced, quote, punishing economic sanctions that he was going to put in place, in addition to the sanctions that are already there. This will largely hurt the Iranian people, and Alex knows that. I know that he knows that because he's yelled about sanctions killing Iraqis many, many times in the past, when doing so has helped him attack Madeline Albright. Alex knows damn well what Trump is doing is engaging in economic warfare that'll tend to hurt and kill civilians in Iran, but he doesn't care. He'd rather focus on an imaginary dick joke.

Economic sanctions primarily harm the vulnerable population rather than the ruling oligarchs.

It seems like that's the right thing to do, but we've had enough time where we've seen that the effect of it doesn't actually hurt the people that you're trying to hurt, which would be the oligarchs, the people who are in power, that sort of thing. It only ends up hurting the people beneath them.
