Wow. That’s a complicated assessment. Thank you. Do you think a non-US package of sanctions would disrupt the components trade that Russia depends on? Or are the secondary channels that difficult to disrupt without US active assistance?
Countries need to continue expanding their sanctions packages individually or through alliances like the EU. Russia still sources many components from Europe, Japan, and other states, and this needs to be addressed. Investigations of the kind I mentioned are also intended to highlight the sectors that would benefit from additional scrutiny and further sanctions.
This piece really made me think about the deep insights you've uncovered regarding Russia's reliance on Western components; your research showing that full substitution isn't feasible is a game changer. It does make me wonder if the implementation of truly effective sanctions is less about a lack of will and more about untangling a supply chain graph so complex it's like trying to optimze an NP-hard problem on a daily basis, with the stakes being just a tad bit higher than a broken algorithm, eh?
