Sanctions are supposed to make life difficult for the people in sanctioned countries so that those people maybe start doing something to the person causing the problems.

Nah. They are supposed to reduce connectivity for everyone except the right people with connections, who deal in shit big enough, like oil, gas etc, but not us serfs and not businessmen who don't respect their government officials enough to bribe them. This worked especially well in the Iron Curtain times, and it seems there are people nostalgic of that now.

First, spitting into my soup for something other people did is not going to make me more pissed at them (suppose I already was), it's going to make me more pissed at those spitting into my soup.

Second, knowing that Israel isn't sanctioned, Turkey isn't sanctioned, Azerbaijan isn't sanctioned, but Russia is, not being better, makes it extremely hard to believe that those sanctions are meant to solve problems. Even if I didn't know how they work.

Third, a country can't make something a crime outside their jurisdiction.
