      @driving_crooner sanctions work to stop undemocratic regimes. Those regimes are keeping their own people hostage, and I wish there was a way to save the anti-regime people without supporting the regime. But traveling to Crimea is not what anti-regime people do, so sanction that ass.

        Sanctions does not work, the regime still stays while average people suffers and even it harder to even escape the country. North Korea still exist. Belarus still exist. Eritrea still exist.

        American sanctions also only targeted towards anti-America countries. If the regime is pro-America, it’s not gonna be sanctioned.

        If you actually support democracy, let’s support the people by giving them platform in the international community. Making them be able to showcase their voice without hijacked by external political force.
