Well, I never argued for not sanctioning them. I just think it's kind of fucked either way - if sanctions work, they start hating sanction imposers and band behind the dictator; if sanctions don't work, then obviously they are going to praise the dictator for his good work. It's lose-lose.

And I don't know if you have noticed or not, unfortunately, the sanctions aren't working that well... Maybe the answer is more sanctions? idk

I'm in favor of more of them, but I don't think the current ones aren't working. It was clear from the beginning that they'd be escalating so that Russia has a way out. They're not using it so sanctions get worse.
