I'm by no means an expert on the history of sanctions, but I can't help but wonder when sanctions have ever really made a difference. I guess one could argue that the behavior would be even worse without the threat of sanctions, but that's a hard to prove counterfactual.
It's supposed to be a positive thing, but at the end of the day those sanctions are nothing if in the end the US government continues to do business with tyranny.
