Talk:Economic sanctions

message: so what economic sanctions that have worked and if not why didn't they work?
South Africa? Not sure that the sanctions did end apartheid...
::: No, the sanction were also half heartedly applied. The late former CIA funded journalist Brian Crozier writes in his memoirs 'Free Agent' 
they were only applied half heartedly. That was my impression, too, visiting there in 1977. Crozier says something about needing them and I think he might have meant 2 things: the platinum and the mercenary outfit that could be hired for 'operations' all over Africa. 
::: In Venezuela the sanctions seem to have worked because the country is half destroyed, so there they have been a success. In Russia the sanctions have not been successful and I do not think they ever will be. Russians are tough people, the country is big and has a powerful neighbour. This means not all countries can be destroyed, or drummed into obedience through sanctions to initiate regime change. 2001:8003:AC60:1400:1052:1011:CAE:ED24 (talk) 05:52, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

message: Hi. I am missing solid information in this article about the continuous embargos between the Eastern and the Western blocs during the Cold War. If someone wants to help, then please join in on this issue. RhinoMind (talk) 19:14, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  The continuous embargos of The Cold War 

message: I am going to comment in large amounts of content from Weaponization of finance, an article that I am dubious should even exist, given that it is almost exclusively tied to political consultant Ian Bremmer, whose company has been creating articles about him and his ideas for well over a decade (see here for evidence and links to the COI noticeboard discussion). My goal is to edit that information gradually and integrate it into the article appropriately, given that Weaponization of finance does have some decent descriptions of economic sanctions (literally under a section titled Economic sanctions...)

thread_title:  Soft merge 

message: I personally think so but I'm not sure. I have a source here. It states that MFN is the rule rather than the exception, and - with exceptions - MFN was withheld from the Communist countries during the Cold War. Can thus withholding MFN count as sanctions/economic warfare? Source here. Transylvania1916 (talk) 21:34, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Does withholding MFN count as sanctions?  

message: The overwhelming majority of the article is devoted to specific sanctions implemented by the US and a few other countries. This means that the article almost takes on the form of a listicle, which is not particularly pleasant to read. Relatively little space is devoted to explaining the general history, functioning and efficacy of sanctions. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 00:40, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
