Sanctions are a well-known "weapon" in U.S. foreign policy. The U.S. often uses sanctions—whether military, economic, or targeted at specific individuals in rival countries—as a means to force others to comply with its preferences and policies. However, experts frequently question the effectiveness of sanctions as punitive measures.
Recently, Russia’s Ambassador to the U.S., Anatoly Antonov, compared these sanctions to a game. He suggests that the imposition of strict sanctions is becoming a sort of discipline in the political game played by the U.S. The U.S. is attempting to exert pressure not only on Russia but also on other countries through these measures.
According to Antonov, the sanctions are making the risky aspects of the dollar-centric global system more evident. He said, "These measures only reinforce the view that the dollar-centric system is quite risky. As a result, countries will be encouraged to conduct their economic activities through alternative means and accelerate the shift towards a multipolar global system."
On Thursday, September 5, the U.S. imposed sanctions on the Indian shipping companies Gatik Shipping and Pillar Energy Cargo Shipping. These companies are accused of being involved with Russia’s Novatek in its Arctic LNG-2 project.
