i'm not talking about the actions of the Russian state, i'm saying it is not the U.S.'s business to respond. anything the U.S. would do is not going to improve the situation for either the Ukranian or Russian working class, and would almost certainly make it far worse.

you cannot convince me that sanctions are anything but an attack on the working class of their target nation. the lives of millions of people governed by states distasteful to the State Department have been measurably harmed by sanctions
