@lebkitt@ricwe123 The purpose of sanctions are to weaken nations; the people weakening the nations WANT the civilians of those nations to suffer. Either the people in those nations revolt, or at least they're weakened and no longer interested in defending their country.

"The sanctions are working...we saw a man trying to sell his internal organs for 500 American dollars...these are the kind of conditions that lead to successful revolution".
Veteran US politician Rudy Giuliani makes clear the aim of sanctions on Iran.
@Censorship4u@kaylapop_ Maria Corina Machado has been kissing up to Israel for a while; there's an image of her at the Israeli wall but I can't find it on Google image search to post it (almost like that image is being prevented from showing up)
@EricHovagim Not just Venezuela; Bolivia's Evo Morales gave fellow indigenous people more rights than they'd ever had, and the interim president who replaced him, Jeanine Anez, literally called the indigenous population Satan worshippers.
@gnarlycbread@spuentesp@Qwarz_Atarz Ironically even this is becoming less true; former European colonial powers at least engaged in social spending; America is opposed to it and yet American tax payers are still fine with war.
@neurologeek@Socal_crypto@Aris_Utensil I didn't refute it

Kind of unimpressive really.
@cabs4567 @GoodTabula @Hoppydoesntread How would they know how it feels? Russia has been comparatively EXTREMELY merciful; there's a reason the civilian to militant ratio is leagues better in Ukraine than in Gaza
@Adam_Maga_Rus@RamblingRapist@planefag@AMK_Mapping_ They're celebrating Venezuela and criticizing the SMO of Ukraine and forgetting their SMO of Iraq (they originally called it an SMO, not an invasion) took twenty years (and they didn't go in alone either)
@JASS1000001@Makimatweets I enjoyed solo leveling but it's just another "I sneezed and became the most powerful universe ending aura farmer" anime; this is no different than any other anime where the character is DBS level Goku in OG DB; he BARELY struggles in almost all of his fights
