Sanctions alone could not stop Iran's nuclear program. But they did help bring Iran to the negotiating table.
Barack Obama
Image
Sanctions always hurt the poor, the weak, the children.
Brian May
Image
Sanctions are a strong and agreed element of the West's response to Russia's aggression. It is puzzling to me that there is so much skepticism about the sanctions. I don't understand it.
Daniel Fried
Image
Sanctions make a substantial contribution to power based on privation, and they have never hurt a single despot in the whole history of their use.
Roger Scruton
Image
Sanctions are not diplomacy. They are a precursor to war and an embarrassment to a country that pays lip service to free trade.
Ron Paul
Image
Sanctions aren't about weapons of mass destruction. People need to understand that.
Scott Ritter
Image
Sanctions against such country as Russia are unlikely to be effective.
Vladimir Putin
Image
Sanctions against polluters are feeble and out of date, and are rarely invoked
Ralph Nader
Image
Sanctions have nothing to do with this [relations with the People's Republic of China]. The decline in our mutual trade has objective causes, which are the energy prices and the exchange rate difference. But the physical volumes have not decreased, quite the opposite actually. They are growing.
Vladimir Putin

I personally believe, as church law sets out, that sanctions are an absolute last resort, particularly penal sanctions of depriving people of the sacraments.
Roger Mahony

One's sanctions for truth and goodness are established largely by individual preferences.
Ken Wilber
Image
Russia will honour its international commitments. Our country is a reliable borrower, a reliable creditor and a reliable supplier. Sanctions come and go, but business ties, economic interests and the reputation of a state remain
Dmitry Medvedev

There are many reasons why the Russians prefer Donald Trump.I think, in the first instance, they wanted to tear down Secretary Clinton. They, I think, despised her remarks about the flawed 2011 elections in Russia. They feared that she would be very tough on Russia in terms of sanctions.
Adam Schiff
Image
Indeed, compulsive and rigid moralism arises in given persons precisely as the result of a lack of sense of being. Rigid moralism is a compensatory mechanism by which the individual persuades himself to take over the external sanctions because he has no fundamental assurance that his own choices have any sanction of their own
Rollo May
Image
China always urges that no use or threat of sanctions should be allowed in international relations.

[Donald] Trump`s incoming national security adviser, Michael Flynn, spoke on the phone with Russia`s ambassador the same day President Obama expelled 35 Russian diplomats and imposed new sanctions on Russia.
Donald Trump
Image
One does not give birth in a void, but rather in a cultural and political context. Laws, professional codes, religious sanctions, and ethnic traditions all affect women's choices concerning childbirth.
Adrienne Rich
Image
We are not afraid of economic sanctions or military intervention. What we are afraid of is Western universities.
Ruhollah Khomeini
Image
The double jeopardy of being black and female in a racist and sexist society may well make one less afraid of the sanctions against success. A non-subservient black woman is by definition a transgressive- she is the ultimate outsider.
Mamphela Ramphele

Another mess I inherited, and we have imposed new sanctions on the nation of Iran who has totally taken advantage of our previous administration, and they're the world's top sponsor of terrorism, and we're not going to stop until that problem is properly solved, and it's not properly solved now.
Donald Trump
Image
People don't get angry about the half a million dead Iraqis from the sanctions.
Alex Jones
Image
We need a dialogue with the Iranians, and it is going to take both carrots and sticks. We employed very tough economic sanctions, and they are having an effect. But we also have to give the Iranians an idea of what the economic and cooperative possibilities would be if they did give up their quest for a nuclear weapon.
Sam Nunn

I believe it is wrong to give Moscow a rebate on Ukraine sanctions because of Syria.
Martin Schulz
Image
The United States that has been involved first in the Gulf War and then in the tremendously damaging sanctions against Iraqi civilians. The United States that is the supporter of Israel against the Palestinians.
