*asking for some friends with rising energy costs

Sanctions imposed by the US are enforced by controlling access to the world financial system which is denominated in US currency. Any criminal activity involving use of dollars is considered in American law to be a crime punishable in the USA. How they do that obviously depends on who is doing the criminal thing. For individuals they seek extradition. For nation states they impose penalties like trade tariffs, export bans or, in extreme cases, shutting off their ability to use transaction clearing services that pass through US systems.

As a side note, one of the unforeseen long-term consequences of Trump’s unpredictable and haphazard foreign and trade policies has been to cause other countries to diversify away from USD as their main reserve currency. EUR and RMB (china) are both viable alternatives at present. The more this happens, the less able the US is in the long run to dictate global sanctions policies. Just another way in which MAGA is achieving anything but.

Knowledge is useful - ignorance, not so much…

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine

I've never wanted to know everything about everything, especially the everything that I usually show no interest in ;)

Ignorance on a subject isn’t something to be ashamed of, but it’s not something to be proud of… ;)

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine

To be fair, I suppose there's no excuse for being ignorant of anything when the internet and AI has all the answers at the click of a few buttons . . . if you trust and believe the answers from the internet and AI :rolleyes:

Yes I know, I asked a question here, on the internet, but was fairly certain I'd get a decent answer on here ;)
