Russia should not be sanctioned!

I want voters to realize that Pro still isn't saying why we shouldn't, only saying a negative outcome. Even I know that the outcome would appear to net a negative. So please, voters, remember that Pro has to go beyond the outcome and prove that we should not sanction Russia. This is a little hard for me because I am basically asking for a leap of faith, that sanctions would make the Crimean and Ukraine missions unprofitable. I do have something in mind. Anyway, onwards. Firstly, it doesn't matter where you're from. And this is exactly my point. America is doing what's best for its own litle *** (forgive my rude choice of words). But the USA would also be very deeply hurt by this... The economic sanctions the United States imposed on Russia over the Ukraine crisis don't hurt only the Russian economy. They hurt some U.S. companies that do business in Russia, too. America doesn't really profit from this. I read your round. You are basically repeating yourself. And I will say the same thing. If X Company did work in Nazi Germany, should America stop to think, "Hey, this might hurt us."? No. Of course, Russia is kinda breaking International Law here. And, Putin's arguments for annexation echo the annexation of Austria. Germany would lose businesses in Russia, exactly. But this isn't simply ,,Losing a business' Germany would have no choice but to completely isolate themselves from all russian trade, which, mind you, brings in around 10% of all EU Because of times like these. You don’t really want to be tied to a nation that boldly taken a part of another nation. ...really, the only country that supports them is...big shock...USA... Talking out of the blue, but no one really important, except maybe Churchill (I think?), wanted more action against Hitler. So what's your point? Also, I see no reason to pressure Russia even further. Alas, that thought was relevant in the 1930's. Where there is smoke, there's fire. What exactly will these sanctions accomplish? Putin won't care, he does what he pleases...You would be harming the people of Russia, not the leaders. It is also plainly obvious that Crimea belongs to Russia... It was only given to Ukraine by Gorbachev in the days of the CCCP (USSR) to maintain peace within said nation. The sanctions are a reminder to Putin that the World will not have another Hitler. And to make Crimea unprofitable. And, by not doing stuff, you hurt the Ukraine citizens who live in Crimea. Also, try taking back a gift at Christmas, and see where that got you. Doubly so when said person who you taken from gave their nukes in exchange for have their borders intact, which, yes, Russia broke. Putin actually WARNED the pro-russian seperatists in Crimea and the rest of Ukraine to remain peaceful and to leave the business to the country's leaders. Blame the seperatists, not Russia. Putin did? Or did he SAY he did? I would like a source on the matter that isn't an opionon piece. Blame the seperatists, not Russia. The russian military intervention that you mention never happened. Russian troops are stationed on the borders of Ukraine, not on Crimea. Doesn't matter. But no, America is DETERMINED to become the only economical and military superpower and they seek to root out any competition... One of your many appeals to emotion. Also, Russia's Military isn't doing too hot. They are not push-overs, but there is no "competition" in the sense you are thinking. Please stay on topic. . Russia only claimed the area that is rightfully theirs and took it peacefully. It's not, though. And, ironically Ukraine isn't too peacefully either. Again, sanctions against russia are completely unneccessary and harmful. You haven't shown how so. Just what may happen? Imagine if the world sanctioned nazi germany back then...do you think that would have stopped the wehrmarcht? the SS? No, no it wouldn't. Yep. That would be a case where you break out the good-old war. If Russia invades Poland again...Then there will be a Third World War. But because doing nothing is better? I want voters to notice the Appeals to Emotion and subtle Appeals to Ignorance, that we don’t know HOW Russia would react, they might get angry, etc.. My arguments. Russia and Ukraine signed a treaty over Ukraine's borders. Ever heard about the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances? I don’t exactly think it is a "treaty", but an agreement, which is rather serious when it involves nukes. Do you think when Ukraine disarms and has no defense, and this happens, do you think that Nuke Nations would hold on to their nukes? Do you think that Russia would make a move if Ukraine had nukes? The issue here is that Russia can go back on their word. They can take, and they can steal. This is why we need the sanctions. They might sting, but so does World War 3. http://en.wikipedia.org... A note to the voters: I have shown that we should sanction Russia, and that History seems to be repeating. However, Pro has made fallacious arguments and did NOT show WHY not sanctioning Russia will net a benefit. Vote Geo.
