    This is the rationale behind both the allies' and axis' campaign of terror bombings against each other throughout the war. The whole idea really is to spread mass suffering among the enemy population, to either demoralize them or straight up kill as many civilians as possible.

    Sanctions is just liberal terror bombing. Mass starvation and social collapse to break the enemy's (working class) will is the whole idea.

      It's also Bin ladens argument for 9/11, so it's good to see bipartisanship in action.

      Just like terror bombings, sanctions also don't work as far as instigating regime change/civilian uprisings/hurting morale.
