Sanctions are going to accomplish NOTHING other than making Russia look elsewhere for trade partners which means no more natural resources for the West
Do you even understand how much the sanctions backfired?
The sanctions have backfired spectacularly they are literally making Russia and China self sufficient, or no longer reliant on the West. While the US may see this as a good precursor to war, for the world at large, it has had massive ramifications in terms of the global cost of living crisis and the removal of mutual safeguards (trade) against global war is so utterly dumb.

NK have been sanctioned for not sure how long... they still made some nukes.
I don't see Iran backing down.
Venezuela is still there.
Sanctions are meant to make things extremely difficult for the population and citizens of that particular country hoping that they will revolt and change the government.
Instead and more often than not, it only made people more impoverish and the population going into a nationalism overdrive.
sanctions are meant to convince a person or country, that what they are doing is wrong, and that they should do something else. In this situation sanctions are basically making Russia double down and staying the course, and they are leading the world down the road to war.
