It takes a special kind of naivete to think that a country worth placing this sort of embargo on is a country where "pressuring the government" would lead to any tangible results.

Governments need economies to run, especially ones depending on the military to “keep peace”. It takes a special kind of naïveté to think governments run in a vacuum independent of the economy.
