This is hilarious because Iran is already sanctioned to hell and back. G7 really has one tool and that's it. So glad my country joined BRICS and made peace with Iran.
Reminds me of "you are only making it worse for yourself"

US: Let's send weapons to our allies that are at war! Iran: We'll do the same! US: shocked Pikachu face
With the litte difference that russia is a brutal dictatorship who invaded a sovereign country and Iran is a brutal dictatorship too.
But I guess it's the same anyway, right?
invaded a sovereign country
Thank god my wholesome democracy would never do that over and over again for my entire life, otherwise I might have to think about who they tell me the bad guys are.
Also Ukraine is not a sovereign country. We stole their sovereignty ten years ago when we replaced their government with nazis.
USA doesn't give a fuck about other countries sovereignty when it goes murdering across the globe
Did you know that the United States Army trained midwifery to locals in Iraq?
Google "Fallujah Babies" for more details!
what a terrible day to have google goggles

The US is constantly and historically the ones propping up dictators all over the world. AND we have done it while people of those nations have either legitimately voted for the opposite, and/or were fighting for their freedom from colonial powers/dictators. We actively fund and create false narratives inside nations that we don't like to start color revolutions. We force other nations into backing brutal sanctions if they don't want us to go after them and to be allowed to trade with us. Our military is literally installed all over the globe, but we claim nations like China are somehow being "aggressive" for even patrolling their own areas. We create and groom evil and gaslight the world that we are somehow just allowed to police the globe. Fuck yourself.
So genocide is okay if committed by a democracy?
Between Russia, Iran, and Ukraine, only two still have elections, and yet the one without is the one that isn't a dictatorship?
Russia joined a civil war in progress on the morally correct side
which the CIA said was going to happen if NATO kept expanding, back in 2008
All liberal "democracies" are brutal capitalist dictatorships.
At least Iran and Russia's interests are aligned with most of the world against imperial core countries.
Wtf did I just read? Have you ever been to Russia or any of the post-soviet block republic? Or are you just fantasizing from other side of the world?
I'm at Russia right now, I've been to Ukraine more than dozen times including twice to Crimea (Ukrainian at time of visit) and numerous times to Donbass (as Donetsk is literally hometown of my father). What's next? Have you ever been to one of the listed places yourself or are you just fantasizing from other side of the world?

Lol they still haven't learned that sanctioning these massive countries just backfires
It doesn't though. Raising costs by forcing a country to dodge sanctions is very effective. A supply will never entirely dry up, but it will shrink and become more expensive, and that's enough.
It's just speeding up dedollarisation at this point. Trade is increasingly done in other currencies because the US dollar is just a minefield of sanctions and regulations. The US had this power back when they produced everything people needed, but nowadays everything's coming from China, so why involve a third party in your trade that can freeze your accounts for no reason?

I think it's a sanction on Iran, which... how much trade is really going between Europe and Iran
