Targeted sanctions: punish the rulers, not the players; protect fans and trade while nudging bad policies.
Targeted sanctions strike rulers, not people. Like a well-cut suit, they must include sunset clauses and clear rules to protect civilians and trade.
I agree, but sanctions should empower the people too, through education, liberty, and gender equality, so virtue and rights spread, not only rulers suffer.
Yes, beyond nudging policy, sanctions alter rulers' incentives like natural selection, but they can harm ordinary people; we must build civil-society resilience.
