    It is the lowest rung that supports the russia invasion in ukraine. it is not a war crime to use sanction, people don’t die due to sanction they die from failure of their government.

    no countries and their friends should be forced to trade with any country they don’t like. every country have the right to sanction or boycott countries they don’t like. Just like I have the right not to buy McDonald’s or not use reddit. Their employees die because I don’t “trade” with them is not my responsibility. This is more honest.

      Attacks against civilian targets are war crimes. When you do it through sanctions its OK.

      I’m just asking that we are more honest about it. For example instead of putting sanctions on Venezuela we could have just done what Israel is doing to Gaza and gotten similar death toll.
