The International Order Is Dead | Amb. Sándor Kusai
On December 15, the EU listed the former Swiss army colonel, Jacques Baud, on its Russia Sanctions list, barring him from even buying food. He isn't suffering because he committed any crime. On the contrary, his actions are perfectly legal; they are just not the kind of "behavior" the EU likes to see, so it uses a foreign policy tool (sanctions) to bar him from all and any activities of normal human life. But Col. Baud is unbroken. He is resisting the draconian measures and decided to pick up the fight against this regime extralegal injustice. Make no mistake: What is happening to Col. Baud could happen to anyone tomorrow. The sanctions are a regime of pure, arbitrary political persecution.

Unbroken: EU Removes His Human Rights. But He Won't Give Up | Col. Jacques Baud
What do you call a form of state in which, because of its foreign policy, citizens can be persecuted domestically and harassed to the point of clear human rights violations? And all of this within a construct in which citizens are free to elect their national and supranational representatives? Exactly—we don’t have a word for it. But “anti-democracy” wouldn’t be a bad fit. That is how far my guest today goes: the renowned German journalist and public intellectual, Patrik Baab. We talk about the sanctions against Jacques Baud, Nathalie Yamb, Hüseyin Dogru, and other EU/Schengen citizens, as well as about his work to push back against this—as a journalist and through a new YouTube format.
