11. Sanctions are economic terrorism - for any country.

But as was said for the half million Iraqi children who died because of them - 'We think it was worth it'. But propaganda that begets these sanctions that hurt the most vulnerable are thought of as a 'noble alternative to war' - for what? Something started by the west - as usual? Russia will be just fine, they aren't a weak country without the ability to fight back when the sanctions inevitably fail and they have powerful friends, as much as the west hates to admit it. I hate war, but that's what certain people are hoping for - very badly. It's so needless, and beyond stupidity.
