Good luck with that.

How are the sanctions with Iran going?

How about the North Korean sanctions?

In the 1930s the sanctions against Japan worked so well they decided to attack Pearl Harbor instead of negotiating.

Welcome to the real world.

Sanctions just cause more trouble—and create bitter and intransigent enemies.

It is the foreign policy move for the establishment dummies—great talking points for the mass media but guaranteed failure every time.

Time will tell if sanctions work.
Letting Putin rebuild the USSR while we do nothing is not a positive option.
Doing nothing isn’t an option. We will get pulled into this mess in some manner if it spreads .
Sanctions are way better than losing American lives.
The person in the wrong here is Putin, not us
