      This is literally a think-tank centered in Washington DC. Why not just call it Wrongthink, you clod? 😁

          Calling Quincy Institute republicans, this is too good, you only read headlines. Pathetic!

          Why do you read Lemmy instead of watching Rachel Maddow? Doesn’t it put you in terrible agony from the cognitive dissonance? You’re turning into my little reply guy. 😭🤧

            Because lemmy is more informative than cable news overall, and provides links to various news sources that range from vastly better than cable to outright tankie propaganda. Just have to sort out the bullshit.

              Outright tankie propaganda 🤣🤣 this group lobbies the democrats about how to make policy! The average Redditor is further to the right than George Bush in 2004, and he had sharper wits than you do!

              You seem to have forgotten how these things work, those are excellent credentials for a democrat in 2024. Have you heard of the Lincoln Project by any chance? What about Liz Cheney? Why is Harris taking endorsements from Russian agents? 🤭

              You must have missed all of the GOP congresspeople calling the Quincy Institute traitors! They’re the most bipartisan, bog-standard foreign policy group available. You’ve just become as jingoistic and partisan as Tom Cotton! You have Nuland on Maddow to catch up on! You don’t have time to be my reply guy!

      You know I’m positively tickled by this as normally liberals want to claim that sanctions are an attack on a country’s ruling class but here you openly gloating about how you think that their population is starving, very humanitarian of you.

      One stick of butter. 😭🤧 Fortunately Newsweek assures me the US economy is doing great! I wonder if anyone has stolen A BUTTER in the US recently? Is the US under sanctions? I wonder.

    I don’t think the article successfully argues its main point. Sure, sanctions are galvanizing, but I believe it’s well understood that sanctioning a country is going to result in that country pursuing any other viable avenues to conduct their economic activities. It’s a stretch to say that the sanctions backfired. I would say it’s more accurate to write that the sanctions have resulted in profound consequences, and not all of them are good.

      So what would you call profound consequences that rebounded against the USA, Europe, Australia, South Korea, and Japan, if not blowback?
