New research published by The Lancet finds that economic sanctions imposed by the USA and EU are associated with more than 500,000 deaths per year since 1970, five times more than deaths by war.

Imagine if Democrats had pursued progressive policies with half this much insistence. We’d be living in a completely different reality.
