    there are many other countries the sanctioned countries can trade with

    Can’t say for others, but the narrative regarding Russia (from Russian libs) was usually this:

    • all those countries (USA, EU) can get things they get from us elsewhere no problem

    • other countries can’t offer us as much as we get from USA/EU

    • Russia doesn’t produce much useful anyway, just oil and gas
