I can't help but perceive it like you and the person you're replying to are pretending that OP should somehow just accept the sanctions, and that this was somehow fair. I'm not saying the sanctions are unnecessary, but can we not recognize that they disadvantage people who have done nothing to cause them, and that a more distributed system would be better in general?
- maccam94 4y agoThe citizens of Russia could vote out or overthrow their leader. The goal of sanctions isn't indiscriminate pain, it is to incur a cost for bad behavior and encourage people to stop it. I think cutting off technology services to a country fighting a war of aggression against its neighbor is better than most alternative methods of retaliation.
