“We can totally cut ourselves off from our main source of cheap energy, it totally won’t have any negative consequences like everyone with a brain predicted it would.”
Western sanctions and embargoes are becoming funnier and funnier as they continually overestimate their power. The west can’t understand the the rest of the world exists.
there’s only two tools in the Western toolkit: sanctions (for bad countries) and austerity (for their own countries). they get extremely confused when neither of them work, and then assume that they haven’t been pressing either hard enough and so just keep mashing them over and over again
When do only the most austere level of business with your ‘enemies’ that is called sanctions, and when you punish the poor with sanctions that is called austerity.
