    You’ve got it the wrong way around, they’ve gotten cut off because they got worse.

    Yeah, nah. If they weren’t effective, you wouldn’t have Russia complaining about them.

    As for “rules based order”, that phrase is telling. It’s a chud remark, and loops back around to Russia complaining about them.

      That phrase is the one the US uses constantly, I’m using it to refer to the ecosystem of the US and its allies. They’re the only people that are enforcing the sanctions.

      And effect how? If the goal is to defeat Russia with sanctions that really doesn’t look likely. Obviously they’d prefer them to go away but only in the sense that they’d prefer to make more money. It’s not stopping them and it can’t.
