Istanbul  
of friend and foe
Spinning on their dime
Sanctions are all waiting 
Legitimacy waning
Hegemony on the line

Sanctions are different than tariffs. Sanctions are highly effective, but they take time, in some cases generations, but a sanctioned country will grow weaker and the sanctioning country will grow stronger over time.
