Ukraine: The Ethical Dimension & Sanction Decision Making[image: Ukraine: The Ethical Dimension & Sanction Decision Making]
Ok. Deep breath.
Is what is happening in Ukraine worse than what happened in Iraq?
Why was the US not hit with crippling sanctions, like Russia is being?
Think this stuff thru on your own, and if you get it, your belief that
anything happening is being driven by ethical considerations will go away
and you’ll be able to think clearly.

There’s a lot of nonsense going around including talk of Russia losing the
war because less than 5 days into the war, they haven’t conquered Ukraine.
The German blitz of Poland took 5 weeks. The conquest of France 6 weeks,
