Collective West Promotes 'Regime Change' in Russia at Davos
January 20, 2023 | By Scott Ritter
Harvard professor Kenneth Rogoff, the former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), has offered a telling insight into the purpose behind the US-led sanctioning of Russia by the collective West.
While participating in a panel at the 2023 World Economic Forum in Davos, Rogoff underscored the importance to the West of not only staying the course on the current anti-Russia sanctions, [everything can be sanctioned except the oil] but also be prepared to do even more to create conditions for "regime change" inside Russia.
While acknowledging that "getting regime change is hard" through sanctions, Rogoff concluded "that is where Russia is headed." According to Rogoff, Russia is facing "incredible poverty" because of the sanctions imposed on it by the collective West, and that the 39 countries participating in these restrictions must be prepared to apply even more pressure in the face of a likely Russian escalation in the coming weeks, as the Russian military completes its reorganization in the Special Military Operation (SMO) theater and the incorporation of the last of the 300,000 reservists mobilized last fall.
"If Russia escalates," Rogoff said, "what are we doing? We need to be ready. They [Russia] need to know that is coming.""Will there be regime change?" Rogoff asked, before answering his own question: "I hope so."
Rogoff, who in addition to teaching economics at Harvard also is a member of both the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), an "independent, nonpartisan membership organization, think tank, and publisher" whose mission is to be "a resource for its members, government officials, business executives, journalists, educators and students, civic and religious leaders, and other interested citizens in order to help them better understand the world and the foreign policy choices facing the United States and other countries," and the Group of 30, an "independent global body comprised of economic and financial leaders from the public and private sectors and academia" whose self-proclaimed mission is to "deepen understanding of global economic and financial issues, and to explore the international repercussions of decisions taken in the public and private sectors."

Another thing about economic sanctions. These sanctions are a massive fraud and only destroy the working and productive class. The oil cartels would never compromise their profits and so the US imports oil from Russia though third parties. In this sense, we have no idea what the hell Rogoff is going on about "economic sanctions."
Want a seriously good laugh? Rogoff states "Russia is facing serious poverty." Here are some Russians facing "serious poverty":
