> Now, they may do so anyways in violation of international sanctions I suppose but, and I can't stress this enough, I don't think its a good idea for hostile hermit kingdoms to evade sanctions no matter how they choose to do so.
Because sanctions are for their own good, right? Sanctions aren’t a threat, they are the punishment.
Other countries/companies shouldn’t do business with sanctioned countries, but obviously a sanctioned country can only benefit by breaking the sanctions.
It’s like being in prison in the USA: it’s natural - and in the prisoner’s best interest should they succeed - to try to run away.
