Try to keep the chatter contained here, folks.
Comment if you were here when the Russians dropped a bomb on our servers in Kiev. WE'RE BACK IN ACTION BABY!
Make sure to report comments that're overboard or sus.

That's the problem. Sanctions come from the idea of "we have to do something." War is bad for the working class. Sanctions are also bad for the working class. The question is: will sanctions meaningfully prevent war in any way or will it just hurt the citizens of Russia, who were not the ones to invade Ukraine. Sanctions usually don't accomplish that, they are a negotiating tool for the US. "Well if you make this compromise, I'll start letting insulin come into to your country."

No, because that would ultimately end up harming Palestinian people the most. That's what I'm saying, sanctions always hurt the most economically vulnerable.

easiest way to think about it is Putin was in power in 2014 and the sanctions placed around then completely plummeted the value of the ruble yet Putin is still in power 8 years later. Putin, nor any of the elite of Russia, do not give a shit about the value of the ruble because that isn't what keeps them in power. The only people actually hurt by the ruble dropping in value was the Russian citizens.
