Sanctions are not going to deter anyone from anything. Sanctions is anti-diplomacy.

Why do you need troops if you're not going to amass those? Still does not mean that diplomacy can't be useful.

The mental health argument is weird. Was Bush a madman when he invaded Iraq?

Diplomacy was tried and failed.

The point of sanctions isn't deterrence. It's to weaken the Russian economy and slow down the rate at which they can manufacture more weapons.
