    And then there’s Zimbabwe, Libya, Iraq, Nicaragua, Yugoslavia, etc.

    Those 2 countries are an exception and even then, they still face immense pressure from getting sanctioned. I wouldn’t say they’ve had no effect, they’ve definitely fueled civil unrest and caused crises.

      I’m not denying that, but clearly there was no regime change. And in the countries you mention there was war necessary for that.

        Umm yeah sanctions and war go hand in hand… I’m not sure what your point is, sorry.

            Me: sanctions hurt countries

            You: two sanctioned countries haven’t been couped yet

            Me: just because they haven’t been couped doesn’t mean they haven’t been hurt

            You: yeah but they haven’t been couped yet

            I really don’t understand what you’re trying to communicate here. Or how any of this relates to the topic of this thread.
