Sanctions are a total failure. They have not achieved a thing in Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, North Korea and Russia, except to reinforce the regime in place and to impoverish the people.

This self inflected damage will lead to riots and voters will send a whole generation of inept politicians to retirement.
