FROM SANCTIONS TO MARTIAL LAW AND A STATE OF EMERGENCY
https://forumgeopolitica.com/article/from-sanctions-to-martial-law-and-a-state-of-emergency
Sanctions are an instrument of power used to advance economic interests, political power, and cultural hegemony.[1] They can affect international relations, economic relations, criminal law, the labor market, or everyday violations of rules.
Today, however, they do not serve to uphold democratic values or prevent human rights violations. Rather, they are a weapon for securing the neo-imperialist dominance of the West and its leading power, the United States. They serve not only to force the subjugation of states beyond the use of direct military force, but also to eliminate domestic political opposition through extrajudicial, arbitrary measures and to enforce preemptive obedience among the general population by instilling fear.
