Western-led sanctions are not unjust but they will not stop Putin's war in Ukraine.

, and it’s why much of Africa is more interested in ending the war as soon as possible instead of punishing Putin.

None of this is to suggest the sanctions are unjust. Washington’s options are quite limited. Diplomatic responses like stern press statements, expulsions, and U.N. Security Council Resolutions are toothless and mainly an exercise in virtue signaling. Deeper military involvement beyond sending weapons and providing intelligence would broaden the war into a widespread regional conflict with nuclear overtones. Economic sanctions are one of the lower risk options available for Western policymakers.

Sanctions, though, don’t address the causes of the behavior, and therefore fail to solve the problem at hand. They haven’t compelled North Korea to eliminate its nuclear weapons program, pushed Syria’s Bashar al-Assad into resigning, or pressured Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro to cede his office. And they most certainly won’t be responsible for ending the war in Ukraine. Only the battlefield geometry and the risk tolerance of the combatants will do that.

Its not Putin s war its N a t o s war

Sanctions mean nothing to a dedicated war criminal!

As I said before, Western sanctions don't work. Let me remind you again. Against the Tiananmen violence, Western countries sanctioned China. Look at the today's China, its so strong that it makes the USA wet its pants.

That’s all we need! How do you say that, “Putin.” 🌉🌁

And Cuba is the best example

hell bent on installing the patriarchy beyond reach ... and look at america fold .. removing row v wade weaponises your protest movement again ... likely to rise in a crescendo that attacks democracy - as if it hasnt done so already ... wake up america

They also show his limits and boundaries pretty clearly.

Russia's powerful enough that sanctions won't defeat Putin by themselves.... however, Russia has own-goaled in various ways- it is now a tribute state of the PRC and has strengthened NATO beyond all imagining

See no reason to continue trading with Ukraine by sea and treat any pirates which disrupt transportation in a way pirates should be treated.

So far they are having the exact result that is wanted, the halting of Russia’s aggressive military expansionism.

It means that before doing something - it is good to think using braines.

They cant make tanks and missiles. Sanctions do work.

ProxyWar in Ukraine shows the intention of NATO to escalate

NATO's proxy war in Ukraine.

I just found out how I will be paying for Putin’s criminal war; I just got my heating oil price forecast for next heating season..

Shows the real world,commodities and energy are the REAL world currencies, US & NATO best trained Nazi Ukrainan Army has been annhiliated,a very very small fraction of Russia's armed forces is currently carry on the SMO,propaganda of the west media and its journos arw pathetic

Oh well, what do you want us to go directly to war with them

Moc pěkné... 👌

Your headline should be edited: 'Putin's occupation of the Ukraine shows the failure of Western appeasement policy.'

Go Ukraine!!!! After this way ends I hope the people in both sides can live in peace

Du kannst nichts tun. Sie haben Sanktionen verhängt und sitzen im Arsch. Ohne Strom, Gas, Wärme, halb verhungert, mit hohen Preisen für alles...

Russland hat 6 Sanktionspaketen standgehalten und weitere sind in Vorbereitung. Es wird jedem Sanktionspaket oder ihrer Anzahl standhalten. Wird Deutschland mindestens 1 Sanktionspaket überleben, wenn Russland es ankündigt?

Our sanctions were not serious.

There is a rise and a decline of an empire, it's unstoppable.

biden's war with putin

They also show the limitations of Putins war machine

it shows how toothless USA is. no bite, not even a bark.

Why must this and this kind of articles come with an photo of that gestapo führer and war criminal?

Not unjust? We, the west has just lost the Russian federation because of an American President with brain decline and European hubris. Pride and haughtiness comes before the fall.

sanction needs more

Russia loving the sanctions. The west’s incompetent sanctions put the Ruble higher than it’s been in years while the poor in the west suffer. Brilliant unparalleled incompetence in “leadership” on display. We are ruled by morons.

Lol

He spent close to a decade sanction-proofing his country’s economy before he moved. China’s doing the same thing right now.

Have patience!

he’s a socialist democrat. can’t stand that guy
