The U.S. Treasury says sanctions “accomplish foreign policy and national security goals,” such as the overthrow of the government of Venezuela. Are they a weapon of modern “hybrid war” or a diplomatic tool? Are they non-violent persuasion or a medieval siege? If we oppose U.S. endless wars, should we also oppose U.S. sanctions? _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
