Sanctions are a non-violent escape valve for realpolitik. Taking sanctions of the table makes hot wars more likely.

The Iraq sanctions didn't prevent the Iraq war. Sanctions are the staging ground for war. They eliminate domestic stakeholders in the enemy country, reducing domestic opposition to a hot war.
