      Food insecurity in the USA exists without anyone sanctioning it. Stores have literally started locking deodorant and baby formula behind glass to prevent more theft.

      But you think a Newsweek story about a single person stealing a pack of butter is evidence that the sanctions are working?

      Worse, you are totally cool with sanctions harming average citizens with food insecurity and not aware that collective punishment is a literal crime against humanity?

      One stick of butter. 😭🤧 Fortunately Newsweek assures me the US economy is doing great! I wonder if anyone has stolen A BUTTER in the US recently? Is the US under sanctions? I wonder.

      You know I’m positively tickled by this as normally liberals want to claim that sanctions are an attack on a country’s ruling class but here you openly gloating about how you think that their population is starving, very humanitarian of you.
