NK, Iraq, Iran, Russia etc and I don't think they really care...the people at the top still eat Lobster and live in luxury so it blows my mind the US thinks dictators give any fucks about sanctions

they work when they're actually enforced, since the population eventually rebels. but we've seen even with countries like NK no matter the sanctions they still find trade partners.

They can work as a deterrent. If it wasn't for sanctions, Russia would have invaded long ago. Now the Ukraine military is stronger than ever. They might be able to pull off a bit of a fight now. A bit.

They worked in the Philippines against the Dutch East Indies and the Netherlands in general.

Cost them like 1.1% of their GDP.

I think they work against poorer nations but not ones of China/Russia/Iran size.
