Okay. Maybe. But... if sanctions "worked," then you would think there would be a measurable effect other than the poor people in Russia struggling more. It's a sad reality, but Russia is a sovereign nation, and they can do whatever they want inside their borders, and sanctions are the most we can do. Unfortunately, Putin could give two shits if his poor people become more poor. So yeah, I haven't seen sanctions ever "work." Other than simply making it appear that America is doing something.
