I think all of that is just a narrative they feed the hoi polloi, I suspect that people doing the sanctions know exactly what the sanctions accomplish which is to keep countries from being able to develop.
Indeed, turns out it’s really easy to convince people of things they want to believe. People in the west like to think of themselves as being noble, enlightened, and generally superior to everyone else. So, obviously the goal of the sanctions must be to help liberate people stuck living in inferior authoritarian regimes.

Oh yeah for sure. It’s just funny how transparently bullshit this claim is, but I guess their target audience still won’t see through it.
