It's like the sanctions against Iran, during which the USA kept selling stuff most of the time. But it threatens to punish other countries, many of which (mostly the smaller US allies) will refrain from selling out of fear. Meanwhile all those strong enough to show the US the middle finger (Russia, China) just keep on selling as well.
I haven't been following this really but isn't the US putting sanctions before the UN? Where china and russia will veto them anyway? Well to be less pessimistic might veto the sanctions? I know australia won't stop trading with china. They are our biggest trading partner. Followed by japan then south korea with the US at number 4.
