I think it’s important to understand that Marxist-Leninists should be supporting the people of both countries, rather than picking one of two capitalist states to back. I understand that Russia has its excuses for doing this, and the Ukraine government has its excuses for what it has done, but it’s important to remember that they are both capitalist countries in the age of imperialism; what they are really after is power. Please feel free to correct me if you believe I got anything wrong.

    You’re only looking at sanctions attempted against Russia and China, 2 very military strong states + vital pieces of the world economy

    Economic imperialism has submitted countries attempted literally everywhere else. Even Japan at its peak fell to the US

      Sanctions havent worked against a single country. Look at Cuba, DPRK, Iran, Venezuela etc.

        Sanctions is a small part of imperialism and economic warfare

        Also you can’t say sanctions haven’t greatly crippled all those countries above, because they have

        All would be much greater threats without the sanctions placed on them
