In this episode, Amiad joins us to debunk the idea that sanctions are a "non-violent" form of warfare. The US empire claims that its harsh sanctions target foreign officials, businesspeople, and elites, the truth is that sanctions have caused more deaths worldwide than all weapons of mass destruction throughout history. Sanctions target civilians, often from the poorest countries on earth, and they specifically hit the young, the elderly, and the sick hardest.
