Sanction - What it really means, who are the real victims?

 The current American sanction against Russia is, to many people, to strangle Russian economy and to bring Russia down to its knees, economy collapsed and country broke. The victim is Russia and the Russian people. So everyone is happy. It is all about the Americans punishing the Russians. 

This is the superficial belief of many people. But sanction has a bigger and unspoken meaning that affects many countries without them knowing or acknowledging it. Get the picture?

Sanction is not just about the Americans punishing the Russians. It is a statement that the Americans are the policemen, the Empire, and punishing any country that it declared as outcast. But for the sanction to work, the Americans, the Empire, must have the power to control countries to do its bidding. The sanction would not work if the rest of the world just ignore the sanction and go on trading with the Russians.

Sanction is about the Americans' control over countries to do what the Americans want them to do. It is about American power, about America's ability to exercise that power over other countries, their allies, stooges or even countries unfriendly or enemies of the Americans. Sanction is an exercise of power over other countries, not just about punishing Russia. The Americans are like the big bully carrying a big stick, do as I told you, to bite the Russians or I will whack you. They wanted to control China and India as well. Do as I said or there would be consequences, ie we will attack you.

In this sanction we even see supposedly neutral countries like the Baltic countries and Switzerland forced to join the sanction. This is how powerful the Americans are, ... or how weak the Americans are today. American's power is measured by how many countries it could ordered to sanction Russia versus how many countries refusing to accept that order to sanction Russia.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the American power is now limited to its control over the European countries, the AngloSaxon countries and its semi colonies like Japan and South Korea. The rest of the world, though fearful of the Americans, would do their best not to be involved and the Americans could not do anything to them, notably the Asean states, Central Asian states and the states in Latin America and Africa, and of course the Muslim and Arab states. The Americans have lost their control and hold over these countries when they said no to the sanction, or act daft, not whispering a word and do nothing. And the astonishing case of India, a strong American ally, that simply told the Americans, leave us alone. In short, the Americans cannot order them around.

From this sanction the world can clearly witness the countries that the Americans could still control and told to do its bidding, willingly or unwillingly. The rise of Russia and China and their banding together to take on the Americans have given the rest of the international community confidence and breathing space not to be coerced and threatened by the Americans to do their bidding, and getting away with it. Without China and Russia standing up to the Americans, many smaller countries would be left with no choice but to sanction Russia as told by the Americans. 

A multi polar world can give the smaller countries a bigger space and freedom to act on their own national interest. Yes, real freedom, not the fake American freedom to do what the Americans approved or else... A multi polar world would also clip the claws of the American eagle and stop it from hurting smaller states. Americans cannot simply coerce and control smaller states by using the term sanction as an excuse. To be with us or against us. Who cares about American sanctions?

This sanction clearly shows how weak the American Empire is today. Only the white men countries and semi colonies and stooges could be ordered around and to suffer the consequences. Europe is the biggest victim of this sanction, NOT Russia, and paying a very high price for it, very high inflation and also have to pay for the war in Ukraine, an American war that they did not want. 

Forget about Ukraine and Ukrainians, they are expendable, the sacrificial lamb for the slaughter.
