Many Polish people still remember communism. I was born in communism. And we still support sanctions.
Tell us what do you propose as an alternative to the sanctions.
- grujicd 5y agoFrankly, I don't know. I'm just sharing my experience and opinion that sanctions don't help. It's quite possible that there's nothing at all that can be done right now, apart from humanitarian help. No matter how much we wanted the war to stop. At least if we're only looking at options that don't lead to worse outcomes. The time to prevent this was probably years ago. But I'm far from geopolitics expert, I can just speculate lake enyone else.
- Etherlord87 5y agoIf you propose no alternative, you propose doing nothing. In this scenario russia takes everything outside of NATO and Chinese influence. And by "takes" I mean hundreds of millions of civilians killed, with a faster rate than currently, because if we show russia we're too soft to react, there's really nothing demotivating putin, or whoever comes after him, to do anything he wants.
