:::::::::::::Do [[economic sanctions]] work? Are economic sanctions "[[appeasement]]"? Is opposing economic sanctions being pro-war or anti-war? If [[John McCain]] was so convinced of the righteousness of his cause to remove [[Putin]] in 2014, why didn't he rally the American people to [[war]] then to defend "[[democracy]]", freedom, and [[gay rights]] rather than impose [[Russian sanctions]] via the [[Magnitsky Act]]? Seems a little cowardly, when you know you're gonna lose.

:::::::::::::My point is, it's [[historical revisionism]] when we know the end of the story, and pass over a simple, but important policy discussion, "Do sanctions work?" And "What's the point of imposing them when you know in advance sanctions do not work?" (Look at Germany right now). [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''The Truth.
