The problem with Economic Sanctions: They kill the poor in the nation being sanctioned but not the ruling class

Other words, "Sanctions starve people to death in the countries being sanctioned."

Remember the fishing boats turning up from North Korea full of dead people who starved to death in Japan?

They were evidence of people killed by the sanctions of the world upon North Korea.

So, in other words you don't kill the leaders or the ruling class of North Korea, Iran or Russia at all by sanctions, you kill (through starvation) the very poorest most vulnerable people of all in that nation through economic sanctions.

So a good definition of a Sanctions war is: "A Starving War".

Whenever people in Russia, Iran or North Korea are sanctioned people are dying there. This is a given.

So, what are economic Sanctions actually about?

World Population reduction.

Instead of plagues or wars with armies killing themselves or the common people we starve them to death instead.

What are Trade Tariffs between countries?

A very fast way to reduce world populations when the poorest people in any country cannot afford to buy enough food and goods to survive.

This is also true of poor people in the U.S. by the way!

So, for Trump Trade Tariffs are a way to quickly reduce world populations of the poorest people of all.

After all, it is quite obvious to Trump that ONLY  "Rich White people should survive anyway!"
