How do sanctions operate?
No academic or cultural exchanges
No tourists
Freeze bank accounts: Exclusion from financial system
Boycott
Embargo
(Aircraft with no spare parts tend to literally crash…)
Non-extradition of criminals
Non-recognition of foreign judgements
Withdrawl of the embassy
Derecognition of the sanctioned state — though individuals are no longer outlawed states can be and sometimes are.
p.s.: when a whole bunch of countries gang up and sanction you get apartheid era rhodesia which we now call Zimbabwe. Ditto South Africa. Sanctions can and do work, depending on the ability to … marshall allies.

And:
ok I didn’t say to read high quality cannonical literature exclusively
<chortle>
One of the things I learned is the importance of planning and training. Frankly, sometimes state department people get robbed or kidnapped and even killed, and its due to bad training or even no training. So try to ask when reading this “what went wrong, what went right, why did it happen, why will this not happen to me, and what will happen if it does”. Frankly, with good training everything becomes an automatic reflex because you have done it dozens or even hundreds of times before. One doesnt really have time to “think” in a crisis its mostly just “reactions”.
