Right, so… they don’t work, they just hurt people. Those are a lot of anomalies which prove the point made.

They were taken advantage of previously; as fucked as it all is, they have no reason to care.

The boot is on the other foot now, I guess.

If there is such a disconnect between the judiciary and every other institution, the judiciary will be gutted any which way.

a court order prevents them from any new construction.

I wonder who that benefits.

Do you mean the lack of sanctions was responsible for WWII? Quite hard to see what sanctions could have been put in place without globalisation as we see it today.

Yeah no thanks.

Sure, I said it was one example, I just added context afterwards. I also asked for examples, not just one which has seen zero other impact except hurting the citizens.

No need to guess about what might happen, we can look at past sanctions instead.

That’s one way to avoid answering the question I suppose.

That’s one reduction in sanctions example, which does not stand to this day and has seen the country distancing itself further than ever.

that’s what they do.

Again, when has that occurred? Any examples.

I understand what sanctions are supposed to achieve, but I would like examples of when that has actually happened.

I’m interested in examples not hypotheticals.

Chinese businesses. “All” is not true. And what changes will this result in?

I didn’t say that.

How have sanctions changed anything?

Do you have examples of sanctions resulting in protests which have changed something for the better?

Edit: six downvotes and no responses; if the answer in your head, feel free to post instead.

What examples of sanctions on a country have seen change? Regime, attitudes, or the like.

How is hurting everyone the point?
