Have you ever lived under sanctions? Have you lived your whole life in a country who has only been an imposter of sanctions?

Yes. No.

Instead of trying to use some vague "you haven't lived it!" argument, it would be nice if you could provide an example of someone directly killed by sanctions.

If you need a medicine to live and I take away your access to that medicine which results in your death, I have killed you.

Would you agree? If you do, then sanctions directly kill people.

No, that is indirect. Thus when that same medicine gets delayed en-route due to a large rain storm, one wouldn't say you were "killed by the rain".
