Richard Wolff: Why the Anti-Russian Sanctions Failed

Author: Glenn Diesen May 27, 2025 Duration: 1:08:23

Podcast episode

Glenn Diesen - Greater Eurasia Podcast explores how Russian foreign policy, geoeconomics, and Eurasian integration are reshaping the world order. Hosted by Professor Glenn Diesen, this podcast offers in depth discussions on the shifting balance of power between East and West, the rise of Greater Eurasia as a strategic and economic space, and the ideas driving these transformations. Listeners can expect thoughtful analysis, accessible explanations of complex geopolitical trends, and conversations that connect current events to long term structural changes in international politics. Whether you follow news and politics closely or are just beginning to explore global affairs, you can listen episodes to gain a clearer understanding of why Eurasia matters and how it influences security, trade, and diplomacy. This podcast is for anyone seeking serious, informed perspectives beyond the usual headlines.

Professor Richard Wolff outlines why the West's anti-Russian sanctions failed. Hubris, ideology, lack of strategic focus, and wishful thinking resulted in the failure to appreciate the strength of the Russian economy and the ability to diversify economic connectivity with the rise of BRICS.
