Sanctions work when it is the US+EU vs Iran or Venezuela. Sanctions don’t work anymore when it is US+EU vs Iran + Venezuela + China + Russia. This is just decoupling with extra steps, and reduces US+EU competitiveness.
Sanctions are a weapon, and the more it is used, the less effective it is, since an alternative world economy typically develops around it.
even there, they “work” by making life harder for the ordinary people, but when have sanctions ever toppled the government and ushered in a US-friendly puppet?
cos that’s what the US claims to want to get from sanctioning, and i dont see it actually working

Heard somewhere that sanctions only work against allies.
