“...that sanctions can lead to war.”
What’s your point, ruPaul is really an international relations dream for us? Anything can lead to war, Sparky.
How’d we get into WWI?
Economics and Resources are at the root of most wars fought in human history.
As for WWI by the end of 1916 France and England owed the US over $3 billion from the war. If the allied powers lost we weren’t ever going to get those debts repaid. These debts most certainly played a major role in the US’s decision to declare war on Germany.
