TimmyTard,
I am going to give you a chance to self-educate, go to this link and look the data up for yourself.....you can look at the data, country by country.

Then report back and tell us how sustainable an 80% Government Spending To GDP ratio is !
Feel free to give us several examples of functioning economies that sustain 80 percent spending.
Do that, and I will concede the sanctions will not work.

If the sanctions are working, then why hasn't Iran stopped seeking a nuclear weapon?
How much longer will it take for this miracle to occur?
Why have sanctions against North Korea failed for 50 years?
Why have sanctions against Cuba failed for 50 years?
Why have sanctions against the thug Mugabe failed for 30 years?
Because sanctions rarely, if ever, work....and they're not going to work against Iran either. You are on Pluto if you think that sanctions are going to cause the "good" people in Iran to rise up and get rid of the Mullahs.
What works is diplomacy and negotiation. Or sometimes...war.
