→"sanctions don't work and are completely ineffective" Really?
:::::::In the long run, no. It was the [[Fall of the Wall]] and collapse of the Soviet Union that ended Apartheid, not boycotts or sanctions. South Africa was just one more [[Cold War]] conflict zone. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''The Truth. Just Putin It Out There'']]</sup> 00:08, September 1, 2024 (EDT)

::::::::For example: When the [[Soviet-Afghan war]] broke out, sanctions were imposed against the USSR for the purchase of chromium. Western support of the South African apartheid regime was used as an excuse to purchase chromium extorts cause it was engaged in a [[national liberation movement]] struggle against the Soviet-supported [[SWAPO]]. "Screw democracy", [[NATO]] essentially said. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''The Truth. Just Putin It Out There'']]</sup> 00:20, September 1, 2024 (EDT)

:::::(ec)When political leaders start talking about sanctions, it should be an eyeopener. It means that ''they'' want [[war]] NOW, but know the public won't go along. So they kick the can down the road, hoping it will provoke the target enough or buy time to build a public consensus for war.
