Sanctions are an instrument of war, they kill millions. They are one of the primary tools of western imperialists. If you support western imperialist sanctions, you support their warmongering machine.

Isolation

How's that going for you lmao? West has only isolated themselves by revealing to the world their nazi loving, ISIS funding genocidal freakish natures. Applauding Nazis in their parliaments, cheering on Al Qaeda taking over Syria with Ukrainian support. You are just letting it all out and the world is seeing it.

Crippling economy

This is just another part of sanctions, see paragraph 1.

All of this is war or lead up and escalation to war. You want to "de-escalate by escalating" to "punish" the "bad countries" because you have a paternalistic, imperialistic mindset where you believe western nations hold the right to punish others.

It's hilarious how everyone of you NATOID leftists pretend to be above it all and "both sides are bad" but when we press you enough, you spout Kissinger-esque neocon dogma like you've been trained.
