I agree that the western populus should be willing to be uncomfortable so the real sanctions can have an effect, but I also think we should intervene militarily as I wrote about here in this poem and essay, which I know you have read: https://medium.com/my-unpopular-opinion/a-poem-of-right-and-might-77dc839b4876 In that I took a very reincarnation based view as to why no one should let fear of nuclear war deter us from stpping in. Thereafter I read one of Jodie Helms's channeled discussions with archangels and they said that they would never let nuclear war to occur. "... it is highly unlikely the Earth will ever be allowed to be destroyed. More than likely, if nuclear war was planned, we would interfere in non-violent ways to block it from taking place. There are many ways to do this that we could put into play which we will not discuss, but we can say with conviction that neither the whole of humanity nor the Earth will be destroyed, although as can be witnessed now, damage can indeed occur. As to that, we can assure you that nothing is irreversibly damaged, whether or not your science can verify this fact at this time."
