Hardly. We are’t going to bomb a country that goes against the sanctions. They will just also be sanctioned.
We are forcing people to pick a side to do business with, not punching them.
- stormbrew 5y ago> They will just also be sanctioned. Yes, and because most countries in the world are smaller than the US or Russia, they will suffer because of it. Likely with people dying, either directly or indirectly. The smaller the country, the more sanctions hurt, the more it's like getting punched in the face. Most countries in the world can't afford to be excluded from trade with the western bloc.
