Sanctions are a complete and utter joke!! They're just to give the US and other countries some kind of excuse and cover to be able to say they're "doing something." They're ignored with impunity, everybody knows it and nobody cares. They don't work, never have worked and never will work. Unless you count driving poor and hungry people even further into the ground working.

@dragosstanciu9866 That's pretty much exactly the point I was making. All sanctions do is hurt the citizens. They do nothing to stop the powerful except maybe throw a few roadblocks up which they quickly find ways around. Have sanctions stopped N Korea from building their nuclear program? NO! Did they stop Iran from building theirs? NO! Did they stop Saddam Hussien from making trouble? NO! All they ever did was give the west cover and make the lives of the people even more miserable than they were before. They accomplished NOTHING! It's long past time that the US and the west stopped trying to be the world's hall monitor and accepted the world as it is and quit meddling. Either that or man up and take these countries on face to face in a war.
