Do Sanctions Really Work? The Hidden Cost of Economic Warfare

Описание: Sanctions can crush economies without firing a single missile—but do they actually work?
Or do they quietly reshape global trade, hurt civilians, and push powerful states to adapt?

Welcome to Fariha Foreign Desk, where global power is decoded through numbers, strategy, and geopolitical reality.

In the last 24 months, the United States has imposed sanctions affecting India, Iran, Russia, China, and dozens of companies and shipping networks—disrupting billions of dollars in trade flows. Economic sanctions have become one of the most widely used tools of modern statecraft, yet they remain deeply misunderstood.

In this video, we break down the real-world impact of sanctions using hard data and case studies:

🔍 What You’ll Learn

• What economic sanctions actually are and how they work
• Why the United States leads the world in sanctions enforcement
• How sanctions impact global energy, shipping, and finance
• Why major powers like Russia and Iran adapt instead of collapsing
• Whether sanctions change political behavior—or backfire

🌍 Case Studies Covered

📌 India – Sanctions on Iran-linked trade and how they disrupted strategic projects like Chabahar Port
📌 Iran – Oil sanctions, shadow fleets, currency collapse, and civilian fallout
📌 Russia – Banking restrictions, oil price caps, and the pivot toward Asia

You’ll see how sanctions:
✔ Disrupt financial systems
✔ Push nations toward alternative alliances
✔ Create black markets and shadow fleets
✔ Reshape global trade routes

But here’s the critical question:
If sanctions rarely force major powers to change strategy, what do they actually achieve?

By the end of this video, you’ll understand why sanctions are less about punishment—and more about reshaping the global order.
