As if this is what was needed to prove it. Trump once answered a question about the failings of western liberalism by talking about how liberal cities on the west coast were doing badly.

Please lead by example
The argument isn’t that they’re “evil”, it’s that they could be used as tools by strategic rivals.
Nvidia is already profitable and has been for over a decade.
Is there literally any evidence that the US government managed to extract useful information from no-log vpn providers in the US?
But it has seen an impact, it resulted in the JCPOA
You asked for an example of a country changing its attitude, that is what happened in Iran to negotiate the nuclear deal. Now you are moving the goal posts and claiming that it wasn’t sufficiently successful in the long run. That may well be, but it has nothing to do with the presence or absence of sanctions.
I also want to point out that sanctions often work far more subtly than what you imagine. If six months from now, Ukraine and Russia engage in successful peace talks, sanctions will certainly have played a role in shifting Russia’s position closer to that of Ukraine, but on the surface it will be impossible to tell by how much.
Edit my comment to add the Iran example
The goal is to make the cost of waging war increasingly painful to pay. There is no other way to effectively do this than to target the entire country.
Off the top my head, the sanctions on Iran were pretty effective to get them to negotiate the nuclear deal. Until Trump tore that one up, that is.
There is no other way
Lustigerweise hat gerade Kuba selber in den letzten 3 Jahren 5% der Bevölkerung durch Auswanderung verloren.
When Austria sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re bringing crime. They’re terrorists. They’re dictators. And some, I assume, are good people.
How much more does it cost to the alternatives?
Most people barely know about it nor do they care.
The courts decide if a party can be banned the government can only initiate the process, also most experts on constitutional law seem to be of the opinion that a ban for the whole party is unlikely and even if it succeeded the would just be a replacement party stepping in to fill the void.
Die AfD hätte die Möglichkeit die Ministerpräsidentschaft der CDU zu überlassen, im Gegenzug erhielte sie dafür das erste Mal Regierungsbeteiligung auf Landesebene und Legitimation für zukünftige Koalitionen.
Okay this is crazy, Alexa play Inside Out by clipping.
Big difference between “I don’t think Russia is going to invade” and “Russia will never invade, was never going to invade, everyone who thinks so is stupid”, Crimea is just a big joke, anyone who thinks otherwise is “liberal QAnon”, the only reason the West is claiming this is because they are stoking tension.
It’s the analysis of international affairs at the level of a 15 year old. It’s cringe, it’s frequently wrong, and it’s delusional. There was no fundamental analysis on the feasibility of a Russian ground invasion.
Plus I remember at the time even people in Ukraine didn’t think it was gonna happen and that it was just America saber rattling.
What is this even supposed to mean? Some people probably did. I don’t know how this is relevant, to him being so confidently wrong about it.
But even so after he was proven wrong he took responsibility and was open about the fact that he was wrong.
This is irrelevant. His analysis was completely delusional.
I just went to look for the catcalling article you mentioned (it’s this one) and she is obviously not “complaining” about not getting catcalled. Instead, she’s talking about how her ageing affects her sense of self-worth. Her getting catcalled less often is only the impetus of this reflection, not the actual source of her negative feelings.
