> There is nothing racist about economic sanctions against a country which is in active conflict with our armed forces outside of their borders

I think that singing about how you want to destroy the country, how you want to choke it etc. do prove racist tendencies.

As for armed forces acting outside of borders, you cannot claim that U.S. armed forces are any more 'authorized' to be in these places than Iranian ones, can you?

So in the end, it comes down to nothing more than the U.S. having the ability to implement these sanctions and Iran not, there's no 'principles' in it, just geo-politics.

What is remarkable however is that this pandemic is a uniquely challenging situation even for countries not under sanctions, so placing new sanctions on the country, as was recently done, is plain inhumane.
