honestly speaking, how long will it take for the world to realise that sanctions and trade embargo does not work,especially on developing country.
North Korea, despite the sanctions, they are still surviving, and has even developed a nuke to irritate the west.
Iran, sanctions imposed since they overthrew the shah. they are still around. furthermore, they are now the new power player in middle east politics. created major troubles for USA in iraq.
Cuba, embargo imposed since 1962. after more than 45 years, fidel castro is still in power, still beloved by his people.
trade embargoes dun affect developing countries, if they are not high industrial exporting country. they dun depends of manufacturing exports for growth. domestic agricultural based economy will allow them to survive.
there are bound to be parties willing to do business with them on the stealth.
