    Reminder that two thirds of developing nations have been sanctioned by the United States.

      Though not the entire country in a lot of those cases, but officials or other individuals within those countries, so it's not exactly true.

        Remember that "targeted sanctions" don't exist. When a leader or industry in a country is sanctioned, that sanction applies to the whole supply chain.

        "Targeted sanctions" are about as harmless as pulling just a single link out of a bike chain.
