Sure - that's why people are resorting to stealing butter from grocery stores. Positively thriving.
Food insecurity in the USA exists without anyone sanctioning it. Stores have literally started locking deodorant and baby formula behind glass to prevent more theft.
But you think a Newsweek story about a single person stealing a pack of butter is evidence that the sanctions are working?
Worse, you are totally cool with sanctions harming average citizens with food insecurity and not aware that collective punishment is a literal crime against humanity?
One stick of butter. ๐ญ๐คง Fortunately Newsweek assures me the US economy is doing great! I wonder if anyone has stolen A BUTTER in the US recently? Is the US under sanctions? I wonder.
You know I'm positively tickled by this as normally liberals want to claim that sanctions are an attack on a country's ruling class but here you openly gloating about how you think that their population is starving, very humanitarian of you.
