How does one apply pressure to a government that does not impact it's people? It is impossible. The whole reason sanctions (and wars for that matter) work at all is that they are intended to impact the people and by proxy the government.

The problem is when (for example) US drug makers stop shopping vital things like insulin and covid vaccines to a foreign country because of the actions of leaders involved in a war that doesn't directly involve the companies nor affected citizens, and then publicly posts about their actions as if it is a commendable move.
