I completely disagree with that claimed equivalence.
You are effectively claiming that doing anything to dissuade rogue nations is equivalent to war. Should we just go straight to a shooting war, or should we ignore everything that happens until it's our turn to be invaded?
Sanctions aren't as quick or effective as dropping bombs, and there certain a valid debate about how effective they are and how they are best implemented, but most people prefer them to a combat-focused conflict.
