This sounds a lot like the logic the US government uses with regards to normalizing relations with Cuba. They think that by keeping up an embargo, that the Cuban people will rise up and overthrow their communist government. It hasn't worked for over 60 years, but surely any day now it will...

- shiroiuma 3y agoSanctions haven't changed the regime in Cuba for over 60 years. The big problem with sanctions is that they aren't applied completely. The US refuses trade with Cuba, but many other countries don't, so they aren't effective. The same is true with Russia: lots of countries (like China) still trade with them, and many more still buy their oil/gas.
