Show me where I ever said we should remove sanctions already in place. That would be backing down.a fan wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2019 4:07 pm Great. So please don't tell me I'm building strawmen when I read your above position, and conclude that you want the sanctions dropped.
Did you use the exact words "I want him to drop the sanctions"? No. I'm not blind. But please don't jump all over me when I read post after post after post telling me how you think the sanctions are pointless......and come to the obvious conclusion that you think we should drop the sanctions.
Once you put them in place, you're putting down a marker which is almost impossible to unwind.
I criticize our reflexive, promiscuous use of them without adequately considering the long term consequences.
I am for removing them when we get something in return.
