Can you name one time in history where sanctions have actually worked?

  Sanctions are not designed to change the regime. Look at the French president complaining how it’s “not fair” the the US seize the moment to lure European manufacturers to the USA.

  It definitely put pressure on Rhodesia and South Africa, both of which eventually experienced regime change.

  Cast your mind back to WW2, where the Allies' sanction of Japan basically set the wheels in motion for their collapse.
