Technically oil exports aren't sanctioned directly. There is a price cap imposed by G7 nations with several exceptions like blending, third party processing, e.t.c.

Just don't trade with G7 nations directly or use exceptions that they themselves have allowed.

US OFAC directly encourages oil traders to keep buying Russian oil to ensure continuity of worldwide supply. Europe purchases of Russian LNG are at all times high.

Still wondering when we'll see sanctions ever actually change a government's mind. Cuba has been under sanctions since 1959. Arguably it was US oil sanctions on Japan in 1941 which triggered Pearl Harbor.

A cynical person might observe that the biggest success of sanctions has been in transferring wealth from international banks to the US government - and where the US leads, the likes of UK inevitably follow.

A major diplomatic confrontation was avoided when the Soviets announced on March 25, 1946, that they would be withdrawing their forces within six weeks. President Truman bragged that his threats of a possible military confrontation had been the deciding factor, but that seems unlikely. The Soviet Union and Iran had reached an agreement that gave the Soviets an oil concession in Iran. With this promise in hand, the Soviets kept their part of the bargain and moved their troops out of Iran in April 1946.

Almost immediately, the Iranian government reneged on the oil deal and, with U.S. aid and advice, crushed the revolt in northern Iran. The Soviets were furious, but refrained from reintroducing their armed forces into Iran for fear of creating an escalating conflict with the United States and Great Britain. The Iranian crisis, and the suspicion and anger it created between the United States and the Soviet Union, helped set the tone for the developing Cold War.

Djunior, it probably is 300,000+ dead, but that is besides the point. i.e. The death toll on either side is besides the point. All that these numbers are conveying is that both Ukraine and Russia are totally committed. This is an existential threat for Russia therefore no amount is too much. They will win this war or they will suffer a humiliating defeat (which is highly improbable). There is no middle ground here. There is no shame in 300000 dead. Sure if they were Israeli they would have just carpet bombed Ukraine to reduce their own losses but Russia is not that barbaric or inhumane.

Resorting to personal attacks because you got no arguments? Typical orc.

Have you tried emigrating back to shithole your crawled out of, and not being pathetic little Vatnik in an EU State? You never answered the question: How does it feel to know that you voluntarily fund the deaths of your Russian brothers?
