"It's not okay to be a grown adult in 2022 and not understand that starvation sanctions are acts of war deliberately designed to hurt civilians.” Caitlin

What we must never forget regarding US sanctions is that this covered everything they could engineer to bring the target countries to heel and to obey their dictates and this included foodstuffs, items required to repair major equipment, and the most needed item of all, medicines. They knew full well all the while that food and medicines would cause chaos and death. 500,000 children in Iraq alone. Can any thinking person believe for one second the US gives a damn about such deaths or the welfare of any country, anywhere? Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Yemen and Iraq. Notice anything? What part of the world are all these US targets? I didn’t forget Iran, currently being eyed off by the nuclear powered Israel with US approval and assistance by way of US drone killings.

The US didn't care about the millions of tons of illegal cluster bombs they dropped on Cambodia and Laos in another time, the thousands of acres of country ruined by the application of Agent Orange by the US and the deaths that caused as well. They didn’t care about the fact that phosphorous was used by Israel against Palestinians, probably supplied by the USA as were the aircraft that dropped the deadly chemicals.

Israel and USA, both morally bankrupt countries.

They do not care about anything except their power plays to achieve world domination and the use of sanctions being their main weapon. They dismiss it all as what they see as nothing more than a minor aberration which they call "collateral damage". Try that on for size.

As I have said before, any future commercial, contractual or required product dealings for any reason by any country anywhere, if you choose the USA as a supplier, you are asking for future trouble in the form of “deadly" sanctions. The alternative is to "toe the bloody USA line"

So, as a "grown adult in 2022", think on that ………..then choose.
