TheOnionKnight 02/25/22 10:13:47 AM #13:	I really don't understand what else people want. If NATO goes to war with Russia, that almost certainly means it will be nuclear war. Which might very well lead to a nuclear holocaust. It seems like the only way to avoid that is to avoid a direct military confrontation. --- The owls are not what they seem. <cite>TheOnionKnight posted [p:962957463] in Sanctions ...

WingsOfGood 02/25/22 12:41:34 PM #17:	They are designed to prevent all out war. So no, they are not dumb. The point is, the country as a whole suffers like you said. That instills the desire for revolution but even if that never happens, crippling the economic power makes their military power dwindle over time. Eventually it will collapse and no longer be a threat. <cite>WingsOfGood posted [p:962961042] in Sanctions ... [t:79915316]...</cite> <quote>They are designed to prevent all out war.
