Why Sanctions Never Work
"If you go and name a single country that has a regime change or an entire behavior change to the good because of sanction, you will not find any."
Description
After decades of watching sanctions fail - from Cuba to Iran to Russia - the Prime Minister delivers a simple truth that Washington refuses to accept. Sanctions create black markets, strengthen authoritarian control, weaken the US dollar, and punish ordinary people while leaving the targeted regimes intact. The only achievement? Creating parallel economic systems that bypass American influence.
