sanctions won't matter or work.

It's very easy to say that, since sanctions won't work, that force, then, must be the answer.

It's also very easy to say that, since force won't work, that sanctions, then, must be the answer.

When in reality neither is the answer because there isn't an answer.

So, given that neither will work, what do we do? IMO we do whatever has the least risk and/or does the least harm and/or delays the outcome until such time as other options might present themselves. Force does not come out ahead by any of those criteria. It merely satisfies emotionally the subset who analyze the scenario, discover that sanctions work, and in doing so have depleted their stores of logic.
