    What sanctions aren’t politically motivated? They are inherently political in nature

    And they are absolutely correct: the leadership of the EU and it’s component nations choosing to do all they can to hinder an autocracy which invaded a different, democratic, nation, is absolutelly a political choice.

    Just like Iran’s leadership’s choice to provide such an aggressor autocracy all support that they can in their invasion is also an absolutelly political choice.

    Neither is news, nor is the once again demonstrated hypocrisy of Iran’s despots.

    It’s interesting how “politically motivated” has gotten to be such a negative buzzword.

    Like, yes, fucking geopolitical sanctions are indeed politically motivated, lmao. What else would they be.
