This is hilarious because Iran is already sanctioned to hell and back. G7 really has one tool and that’s it. So glad my country joined BRICS and made peace with Iran.
Reminds me of “you are only making it worse for yourself”
I like the idea of economic incentives and I think they’re extremely effective, although the ones on the other end of them usually take years before they start to feel the full effects.
How long do you think before we see some G7 states break rank and join BRICS? Or do you think they will go down together?
What people seem to not be noticing is that effectively the Global North is sanctioning itself. Meanwhile the Global South is making its own plans without them.
It’s incorrect to think that losing access to markets is beneficial for anyone, which is why using it as a bargaining chip to make people stop murdering each other is a good thing. Even if this imaginary Global South organization had another provider for goods, they’re at risk of being abused or manipulated by a lower number of trade partners who can increase prices at will.
I’m sorry that you disagree.

It almost never is, but in this case the Global North’s sanctions are forcing the Global South to build alliances amongst themselves, and this shift is likely to be quite durable.
Geopolitical Economy Hour, Apr. 2023: Russia Leaves the Neoliberal West to Join the World Majority
US: Let’s send weapons to our allies that are at war! Iran: We’ll do the same! US: shocked Pikachu face
With the litte difference that russia is a brutal dictatorship who invaded a sovereign country and Iran is a brutal dictatorship too.
But I guess it’s the same anyway, right?
Did you know that the United States Army trained midwifery to locals in Iraq?
Google “Fallujah Babies” for more details!
what a terrible day to have google goggles
USA doesn’t give a fuck about other countries sovereignty when it goes murdering across the globe
All liberal “democracies” are brutal capitalist dictatorships.
At least Iran and Russia’s interests are aligned with most of the world against imperial core countries.
Wtf did I just read? Have you ever been to Russia or any of the post-soviet block republic? Or are you just fantasizing from other side of the world?
Which part of my comment do you disagree with?
That second paragraph. It’s just so mind boggling for me.
Are their foreign interests not aligned with Global South countries against imperial core ones?
Russia has consistently supported the sovereignty of Global South countries like Syria and Venezuela against the US, host Palestinian meetings, and are a core part of BRICS. While Iran supports and funds Yemen, Palestine etc. There’s a reason sentiment like this is common in third world countries.

This. I count myself like one of the most of the world part and I definitely DO NOT aligh with any interests Russia had in past 100 years.
Man, there is a lot of crazy and/or bots/trolls here.
