Sanctions are not a substitute for war
The current regime of sanctions against Russia is not a substitute for war but a form of warfare.
Sanctions kill many thousands, just as bombs do.
Sanctions create
hyperinflation,
artificial famines,
social upheavals and
health crises
that punish civilian populations. As U.S. President [Joe] Biden said, the
sanctions are intended
Sanctions are collective punishment
and illegal under international law.
Nor are the sanctions by the U.S. and its allies against Russia a deterrent to war. They will not reduce hostilities but are an escalation of the current conflict.
Sanctions consolidate U.S. dominance in Europe
Sanctions are being used to consolidate U.S. dominance in the region,
even though it is counter to the material interests of the European Union and the Britain
to cut economic ties with Moscow.
The growth in EU trade with Russia and China threatens the domination of U.S. corporate power in Europe. The EU is the biggest investor in Russia. While the U.S. is the largest exporter of methane gas,
the EU purchases substantial gas from Russia at much lower prices, also oil and wheat.
With the EU and especially Germany unwilling to impose sanctions, which would break all relations with Russia,
Biden threatened the U.S. allies that the only alternative to sanctions…
The U.S. president said: “You have two options.
Start a Third World War. Or two,
make sure that the country that [allegedly] acts so contrary to international law
Biden said the U.S. “goal from the very beginning” was
to keep NATO and the EU “on the same page.”
Using the dominant role of the dollar in the world economy, Washington has unilaterally imposed over 5,500 sanctions on Russia, making it the most sanctioned target of U.S. aggressive policies.
U.S. sanctions drag the whole world into the conflict
Unfortunately, Russia is not the only victim of these unilateral coercive measures. Over 40 countries,
comprising a third of humanity,
are so targeted by the U.S.
These include
Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, China, Iran, Iraq, Syria,
Palestine, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia and Sudan.
Third countries trading with targets of U.S. sanctions
This deadly form of economic warfare destroys regional development.
Further, the U.S. is compelling other countries to execute these extreme economic penalties.
We note, with grave concern, that these sanctions imposed on Russia
into a conflict which has a high potential of spiraling out of control.
The United Nations did not approve the U.S.-instigated sanctions. Many countries now refuse to join with the U.S./EU sanctions imposed on Russia. To date
India, Pakistan, Indonesia, South Africa, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia,
Brazil, Argentina, Mexico
and other countries with smaller economies have refused to comply with the U.S. measures.
In fact, almost all of Latin America, the Caribbean and Africa,
and most of Asia reject the sanctions.
Sanctions are a crime against humanity
Such sanctions would damage these countries’ own trade relations.
Supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures from the U.S.-led sanctions are already
disproportionately impacting poor and working people globally
due to shortages and higher prices for food, fuel and basic commodities. Especially impacted are people in the developing world.
As over 60 years of U.S. sanctions against the Cuban Revolution prove,
sanctions meant to achieve the regime change the U.S. wants to impose have, in fact, resulted in
raining misery upon the targeted people.
These sanctions serve as a cautionary lesson
to any nation that wishes to exercise its sovereignty
under the globally inflicted “Pax Americana.”
Sanctions are a crime against humanity.
Ending the Ukraine War
This devastating war started with the U.S.-orchestrated coup in 2014, overthrowing the democratically elected government in Ukraine.
Although Ukraine is not a formal NATO member, the U.S. has since
dumped mountains of lethal arms and
deployed U.S. military “advisers” into Ukraine.
Ukraine is a pawn in Washington’s strategy against Russia.
Since the [2014 US] coup,
Ukraine has been reduced to the poorest country in Europe with
the highest rate of migration.
Kiev’s continuing aggression against its eastern provinces and mass privatizations of socially owned property
have furthered the economic ruin.
The Sanctions Kill Campaign calls on all sides to end hostilities and for the U.S. to
employ diplomacy–
not weapons, sanctions and war!”
