“We have already seen the effects of similar policy in large urban areas in the United States,” security lawyer Irina Tsukerman told The Epoch Times.

Tsukerman is a strategic adviser, geopolitical analyst, and president of Scarab Rising. She explained that public policy and a lack of law enforcement in some U.S. cities have created similar effects to what will likely happen in Latin America.

In both scenarios, more criminals end up on the streets.

Excess lawbreakers on the loose in the United States have generated upticks in both minor and violent crimes, according to Tsukerman. She says the same formula will produce comparable results in countries throughout the Americas, but with a key difference.

“The likely consequence will be an increased flow in the number of criminals to the [U.S.] borders,” she said, adding, “Including successful border crossings.”
“These concerns are real because even before the release of petty criminals, there has been a wave of undocumented migrants with criminal records or who have committed crimes upon arrival,” Tsukerman said.

Regardless, this might not be the last measure employed by the U.S. government to advance the ESG cause, says Irina Tsukerman, a geopolitical analyst at Scarab Rising, a media and strategic advisory firm.

“ESG standards have been affecting U.S. agriculture for a number of years now,” she told The Epoch Times. “The bans on the production and sale of foie gras in New York and other states is but one example.”

According to Tsukerman, this type of policy would financially and legally destroy farmers as they would need to maintain environmentally conscious policies, which are “likely to drive them out of the business.”

“The ESG movement in the farming industry disproportionally favors Big Farm, stifles competition, and creates a ‘woke’ corporate agricultural monopoly, which leads to fewer options for the consumers,” she added.

Irina Tsukerman, a human-rights attorney and native-born Ukrainian, agrees with Billingslea that the sanctions imposed against Russia did not go far enough. She also blames President Joe Biden for not having done enough to prevent the war from happening in the first place.

"First of all, the Europeans failed to sanction some of the leading Russian financial institutions, so they sanctioned a bunch and it seemed like a lot, but in reality, lots have not really been sanctioned," Tsukerman told Newsmax. "But in reality, the top ones have not been given sanctions and some of the top currency exchanges still are functioning in Russia, which means that money is leaving the country to safe accounts and cryptocurrency.

"Not only that, they're using their own cryptocurrency to finance separatism in Ukraine and other parts of the world."

Consequently, Russia is flush with hard currency. As a result, the Ruble continues to strengthen. Europe is striving to increase its imports of Qatari oil and gas as it attempts to wean itself from Russian hydrocarbons.

Tsukerman notes that Russia maintains close economic ties with Qatar, which has invested heavily in Russian energy. The Qatar Investment Authority stated in May that it had no immediate plans to pull out of Russia. It has an 18.46% stake in Rosneft, the Russian state oil company. This equals an investment of approximately $11 billion.

Qatar also has slammed Western efforts to impose price caps on Russian energy exports, calling it "anti-free market."

"When they say they will buy less from Russia and more from other countries, what they are really saying is they will buy more from Russia's partners in a cartel-like relationship," Tsukerman said. "If I am going to buy oil from one member of OPEC … it's not quite right, because it's not fair because it may end up benefiting the rest.

"When cartels invest in each other and share revenue, it will get to Russia one way or another."

Russia continues to cause problems because it still has access to energy revenues, Tsukerman said.
