Explaining the ineffectiveness of sanctions to an American:
ok so imagine you have McDonald’s but you also have Burger King and McDonald’s pulls out but the Russians can just make their own McDonald’s and they can still buy Burger King…
Sanctions are when you ask your mom for McDonald's and she says "we got food at the house". But the burger at home is actually not badI think (?) I watered it down even more for the average American to understand.
