Notice how the study conveniently cuts off right before the meat grinder that is the Russia Ukraine war started. I’d imagine the methodology of the study disproves the conclusion they made if you don’t cherrypick the data. I wonder who would benefit from doing an obviously bunk study to convince people think that sanctions are worse than wars?
Maybe it’s just 6 am brain and enshittified search tools, but I couldn’t find the study at all.
You went further than I did haha. I formed my opinion after reading the title of post and the “Between 2010 and 2021” at the beginning of the preview, then skimmed the article to see if I was off base. I’ve spent enough of my life trying to get/maintain grant funding from fascists to know what it means when the data is that blatantly cherrypicked.
