I understand sanctions as a kind of relationship regulator. (I may be wrong). The graph shows (again in my perception) that the forces after the conflict in Ukraine have developed between countries with a very well-developed infrastructure and technologies and countries in whose territories there are energy carriers. This graph (in my perception) shows how the development of humanity as a whole will move in the future.
"Economic Sanction" was designed with (false) hope that it will coerce the public to be dissatisfied with their leader/dictator/government thus triggering revolution from within.
And as proven by case study of Iran, Iraq (Saddam Regime), Libya (Khomeini), Syria (Assad), Hamas, North Korea (Kim's family) it has 0% rate of success for meeting it's intended goal.
What happened is usually the 'dictator' shall take advantage of the 'economic sanction' to put the blame of public's hardship towards the parties which imposed the sanction. You are suffering because of America / The West etc.. fueling the fire of fear and hatred inside the citizen towards 'the enemies' and rallying greater support towards himself.
That's the reason I advised everyone to NOT put the blame / attack on Russia as a whole.
If there are those that need to be 'alienated' then it should be pointed directly towards the dictator.
Having said that I applauded the 'sanction' against the Oligarchs, although they will be less impacted due to their huge wealth already stashed 'anonymously' in Tax Haven countries ( Cayman Islands, Jersey, Isle Of Man, Ireland, Switzerland etc..)
