Why we look to workers' "sanctions"
We distrust NATO because we know the big capitalist powers will always give their own interests priority over the rights of less powerful nations. The NATO powers want to push back Putin, but only to restore stable investment and trade conditions, and stall new disruptions. They pushed Ukraine into signing a pro-Putin deal in 2015 (the now-defunct Minsk 2: see centre pages) and they would do the same again. The US wanted to bring some (compliant) form of democracy to Iraq by their sanctions and then war there, but the outcome was chaos and deaths.
