If you’re about to think “Oh no, I might not be able to get this or that at the grocery store,” take a moment to consider how US sanctions have effected people in Cuba, Iran & Venezuela. Millions of people for whom life has been made so hard. These are ways we can grow from this.

Marianne, Venezuela tanked its own economy with 15 years of irresponsible economic policy.
Yes but our sanctions made it much more difficult for the average person.

The sanctions were primarily targeted towards the regime (who wine and dine at expensive restaurants while the people starve). I just don’t agree with this specific example.

That’s who they were targeted for, with the idea that if life was hard enough for people that they would then overthrow the government. But it totally does not work that way!

Marianne is correct. A partially self-imposed inflationary crisis has turned into a hyper-inflationary crisis under the US economic war.

We are not responsible for the citizens of other countries when we can’t take care of all our own people. Please be worried about Americans who are poor.

And yes America must look inward for a change.

Sanctions are usually targeted towards the people not the regime. We’re quite happy to prop up malignant governments and despots as long as they’re compliant to our corporation’s. The moment they stop, we accuse them of being in humane and corrupt
