US and European sanctions are a weapon of economic war that kill around 500,000 people every year. They impact the poor and enrich the rich, who receive bribes to find ways to evade them to move goods around. They're a favourite of the US, who imposed them on at least 39 countries whose policies they didn't find advantageous. They deprive sick people of essential medicines. They kill slowly.
They're inhumane (also, they're illegal)

Since 1960, the US explicitly crafted a policy of sanctions against Cuba to create hardship, hunger and misery. Every administration since, democratic or republican, condemned thousands of innocent mothers and babies to slow and painful deaths. Figures, documents, explanations in this video:

Economic Sanctions are war by other means. A Nobel Peace prize for a politician that supports sanctions on her own country is like #MiloMinderbinder in #Catch22 getting paid to bomb his own military base..

U.S. Sanctions Have Devastated Venezuela. How Does That Help Democracy?

In the chaotic aftermath of President Nicolás Maduro’s contested reelection, the case that U.S. policy worked in Venezuela is on shaky ground.

> Sanctions have become an increasingly popular tool for U.S. foreign policy because they are perceived to be less harmful than outright war or proxy war. United Nations experts have argued that these coercive measures amount to economic warfare, and civilians harmed by sanctions “deserve the same protections provided by the Geneva Conventions to people in war.”

Canada is still preventing charities from bringing aid to Afghanistan

As Afghanistan struggles to manage the manifold social and economic crises resulting from decades of war and subsequent Western sanctions, the Canadian government is still preventing charities from delivering much-needed shipments of food and medical aid to the country’s suffering population. Today, a staggering 95 percent of Afghans are not getting enough to eat.
