I mean, the USA basically went to fight Afghanistan for 9/11, while staying best buds with Saudia Arabia. Like, not like the Taliban were good guys by any means, but as far as 9/11 goes, that wasn't their fault.
I mean given osama going into afghanistan was not so crazy. Going in and not trying then going whole hog into iraq. Now that was crazy stupid.

I am curious as to what this means materially. Like, if you have one sanction that encompasses 80% of your economy, that's more than 5 sanctions that each encompass 1% of your economy.

What is this graph saying?
Not much
Sanctions are done on an individual country basis and seperate sanctions can cover individual resources or groups (eg: electronics)
Poor, poor russia 🤡
