I hope the EU and DC keep on upping the sanctions. The more they do this, the quicker the economic alternatives to Dollar domination develop.

So sanctions via the resort to lobbyists to reverse or ameliorate them become a major contributor to

the corruption of all the individuals and governments involved. Shamir's article from 2016 perfectly delineates a picture of all this in regard to Russia. http://www.israelshamir.com/article/the-untouchable-mr-browder/

What happens if the individuals concerned really are behaving like Hitler?

I'm not part of any community. I have never resorted to an argumentum ad hitlerum--any comparisons to Hitler here are based on fact. I'm not going to preemptively censor myself by making vows of any sort as to the content here. YMMV.

Have a nice day.

We didn’t vote for most of the nonsense happening anymore. So much for “We the People.”

No, and you’re correct! Sanctions aren’t a viable, reasoned and carefully studied economic policy. They’re anything but! More like a form of bullying, punishment or blackmail, a sort of enforcement of the menace, “you’re either with us or against us.” Doesn’t surprise me that the current brain-dead regime has authored most of them, out of spite and senescence combined.
