"deserve"? Sanctions are not about people deserving anything, they are about trying to influence to preserve one owns interests. Iranien people do not "deserve" sanctions, nor do North koreans sufferings from lack of food. In addition, Economic development is not linked to deforestation. Brazil has now less forest coverage than Japan and South Korea who have wayyyy higher population density, and both used to be poorer than Brazil. Brazil was on its way to development previously when the industry started to settle there and services started to follow, but bad governance and corruption made it all too fragile and some official just chose another way. As usual, natural resources are more a curse than a good thing for development as it encourages lazy politics and low productivity.
