Economic sanctions are another form of atomic bomb
“Economic embargo” in today’s world is the modified and new form of “city siege” in the pre-modern world.
In the pre-modern world and in an age when mankind did not yet have the intelligence and talent to build war jets, missiles and weapons of mass destruction, wars were generally carried out in cities and economic blockade was a common thing.
The economic siege was such that the defeated people retreated into their city and closed the city gates to the enemy, and the enemy camped behind the city gates and stayed in the hope of a day when famine and hunger would destroy the city’s inhabitants. This method of siege continued until the residents of the city fell into poverty [see the Isfahan famine during the siege of this city by Mahmud Afghan in the Safavid era] and had to open the gates of the city, and the ground for looting and encroachment and the burning of the city was provided. (From the opening of the gates of Troy to the fall of Isfahan in the Safavid era, the pages of history are full of these sad stories).
Today, the world and its war relations have changed, and world powers use “economic sanctions” instead of “military blockade” of different countries. In this way, they continue their economic pressure until the inhabitants of the target country fall into begging, destitution, and complete misery, and after creating such conditions, they finally deliver the final blow to the collapse of that society.
Economic embargo is another form of nuclear attack and the use of weapons of mass destruction, and it has no more meaning against any city or country that is used, and it is a crime against humanity, and anyone who supports it in any position is a partner in this human crime. Is.
The most important result of the economic embargo is social collapse and the spread of prostitution and delinquency and the disintegration of families. In an economic embargo, like a military blockade, the most damage is done to the weakest sections of the society.
An economic embargo is more cruel than a military attack. In a military attack, people see the enemy’s cannons, tanks, and soldiers, and this causes empathy, social harmony, and the closeness and unity of the people to stand against the aggressor, but in economic sanctions, the enemy’s weapons and soldiers are not visible, and economic collapse causes It leads to people killing each other and stealing each other’s morsel and social collapse.
Economic sanctions are not only a “blessing” but also the worst form of aggression. The one who considers economic sanctions as a blessing is either totally out of the world equation or is willingly or unwillingly serving the propaganda machine of the enemy.
A person who calls economic sanctions a blessing is like the enemy has pitched a tent behind the gate of his city and house, and he considers it a blessing!
