  • Going all out in the beginning can backfire, there’s a lot you have to think about. A couple things that come to mind:

    1. You lose leverage, the threat of more sanctions goes away if there’s no way to add more sanctions
    2. There’s a possible threat to American businesses who at least partly benefit from trade with Russia. Gotta think of how it impacts US citizens as well
    3. You don’t want to sanction people who haven’t done anything wrong (yet), since it disincentivises being “good”. Why bother doing the right thing if you’re getting punished regardless?
