Asked why he intervened to block a new round of sanctions on North Korea, he told the media that he believes the people of North Korea have suffered enough.
The foreign policy establishment in Washington, whether they are neocons, "Humanitarian interventionists," so-called "Realists," or even progressives have long embraced sanctions as a way to pressure governments into doing what Washington wants without having to resort to war.
During my time in Congress I saw many of my antiwar colleagues on the Left vote for sanctions because they believed sanctions are more "Humane" than war.
Sanctions are meant to make life so miserable for the civilian population that it rises up and overthrows a leader out of favor in Washington.
After the people suffer under the "Soft" war of sanctions they most often are forced to suffer again as the US attacks anyway.
Sanctions do not inspire people to rise up and overthrow their governments.
I am glad to hear President Trump tell the truth about sanctions.
