That is not entirely true. It depends on the kinds of sanctions. This is why modern sanctions have shifted from punishing the citizens in hope of them rising against the regime to pin targeting the leaders and the ruling class.
The catastrophe and starvation in Iraq (I think it was Iraq) changed how sanctions were used.

Does that have fucking anything to do with Cuba?
Well you claimed that sanctions always are meant as a collective punishment?
Sanctions on economies are collective punishment.
You've sidestepped the problem, which is that there is a siege war being waged on Cuba and they've done nothing to deserve it.
Can you elaborate on how modern sanctions have materially changed from how they were pre-Iraq?
