mixed results --- Economic sanctions seem to always hit harder on populations that asked for nothing. For sure, that's the point, putting pressure on Governments through collaterals but the outcomes always seem to be way too mixed. I have not felt there was any real effectiveness from economic sanctions in the last decades...as countries seem to be less and less sensitive to it and rather let the populations suffer while they are busy creating new economic ties with other powers...(Maybe just a false impression from news coverage).
