Applying sanctions against a nation for a substantial period of time, that nation works around the sanctions to provide for itself. It is actually detrimental to the nation applying the sanctions in the end because you are no longer needed by the sanctioned country….
The US has been exposed for what it really is a rogue nation out to take resources and place puppets to allow them to rape countries just as they have been doing in Ukraine, Iraq, Afghanistan and the list goes on. The “Club” tried to take Russia down in the late 90s and again in early 2000s and failed. They are working on Venezuela and China now.
