Politics demands sacrifices Explanation: Жертва в данном случае - это скорее "жертвоприношение", нежели "пострадавшие". Контекст бы пошире. 1) sacrifice; offering приносить в жертву — (кого-л./что-л.) to sacrifice smth./smb. to, to offer smth./smb. in sacrifice приносить жертву — (кому-л./чему-л.) to make a sacrifice (to) благодарственная жертва — thank-offering ABBYY Lingvo 6.0, etc. |

Politics demands sarcifice. Explanation: Another, and probably even better, way is to say "Politics will demand sacrifice", which will stress that this will never end. In fact, I got numerous results (over 360) from the web. Below are just some of the examples illustrating the way this idea is expressed in English: “The gods demand sacrifice.” http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Dean_Lenort/jocko.h... “As a member of the privileged elite it's no suprise that activism would demand sacrifice of privilege, …” http://epsilon3.georgetown.edu/~coventrm/asa2000/panel8/mess... “If miracles had been wrought only by those who demand sacrifice for themselves, …” http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/120110.htm Best regards.
