Sanctions were the best plan all these "smart" guys could come up with? LOL
Maybe one should realise that you can't play Russian Roulette with nukes (a la Cuba back then) unless both sides have nukes. (One wonders why that simple fact is so difficult for all these "smart" guys to figure out?)
Maybe its more a case of "we haven't got the courage to handle this problem so we will pass the ball to the next generation to deal with."
