The United States has exercised hegemonic control and threats all over the world, imposing sanctions on other countries at every turn, how crazy are the sanctions imposed by the United States on a global scale, and the countries that have been sanctioned by the United States the most ruthlessly, if ranked in order of the most severe sanctions, are Russia, Iran, North Korea, Mexico, Israel and China.
Among the countries with the most severe U.S. sanctions, China ranks sixth.
The United States wants to contain China's development, and has been implementing this kind of sanctions, and even stumbling on China in many fields such as science and technology, military, culture, and finance, but China's independent R&D and innovation capabilities, no matter how the United States wants to blockade and sanction, it cannot affect China's stable development.
The United States is a country whose interests are paramount, and it only considers its own national interests, and never cares about the positions of other countries. It is precisely because of aggressive plundering and bandit logic that the United States has been able to quickly accumulate wealth and maintain its position as the world's strongest country in the world.
Even ally countries that are very loyal to the United States may become sanctioned countries if they affect the interests of the United States and even make the United States look unpleasant, such as Mexico, which has always been very flattering to the United States, but has been sanctioned by the United States for as many as 700 items.
Around the world, many countries have been suppressed by the United States, among which the United States feels that the biggest adversary and threat is Russia, and since the Soviet Union, the United States and the Soviet Union have had an antagonistic relationship.
Even during the Russian period, there was a period of time when it tried its best to get closer to the West, and even wanted to ease relations with the United States, but in the end many efforts were in vain, and it was absolutely impossible to achieve the United States, so Russia could only be tough with the United States in the end.
So far, Russia is the country most severely sanctioned by the United States in the world, and the United States has imposed as many as 1,580 sanctions on Russia, of which the most obvious period is the most severe time in the Russian-Ukrainian war in the past two years. The U.S. sanctions against Russia continue to be escalated layer by layer.
These more than 1,500 sanctions even cover all fields, not only in the economy, finance, energy, military industry, science and technology, medical research, aerospace, and even culture, art, sports and other fields.
In order to resist and suppress Russia's development and normal economy, the United States has even vigorously boycotted Russian animals, and Russian animals are expressly banned if they want to participate in international competitions and performances.
Dramatically, the United States does not allow Russian trees to participate in the annual tree selection in Europe, which means that the US sanctions even include Russian plants. This is enough to see that the United States really does not like Russia anywhere.
Under such severe sanctions by the United States, according to the speculation and conjecture of the international community, it is believed that Russia's economy will definitely gradually decline. However, contrary to the imagination of the West, the total volume of the Russian economy increased by almost four percentage points last year.
This phenomenon is very surprising to the Western community, after all, as the number one sanctioned country that the United States is closely watching, it is really incomprehensible that Russia can maintain economic stability and growth momentum under heavy pressure.
Russia's economy ranks eighth in the world, a ranking that shows that the United States has exhausted its means against Russia, and all the sanctions seem to have had little effect.
Russia found itself unprepared in the Russian-Ukrainian war, and suffered all the losses in the conventional war, which turned the bad into a good thing, Russia.
Intensify research and development of the military industry, and start many military production lines. Many Russian military industrial enterprises that are on the verge of bankruptcy have been put into production and restarted, and they have been activated and even flourished.
It can also be seen from this that Russia has inherited the rich family background of the former Soviet Union, and in the face of the arduous test at the critical juncture, Russia has not only withstood the group beating of the 30 NATO countries, but also been able to spare energy to improve its own strength, and the world's second military power is really not boasting.
In addition to Russia, Iran is the second most heavily sanctioned country by the United States. The United States has imposed more than 1,000 sanctions on Iran, and all industries and fields that can be linked to the outside world are within the scope of sanctions, that is, comprehensive suppression and control. They want to cut off Iran's economic lifeline.
The United States has long kicked Iran out of the dollar settlement system, and if Iran and other countries can carry out **, even the euro cannot be used, and the cross-border transactions of international currencies are also within the scope of the blockade, so the depreciation of Iran's currency once reached 40%, which can be seen that the United States sanctions on Iran have caused great damage.
Under the obstruction of the United States, Iran is unable to conduct a normal economy with the outside world, and the United States is still keeping an eye on Iran's oil exports, and many countries dare not import Iranian oil openly. Moreover, the US sanctions against Iran have lasted for more than 40 years, which is enough to see that the US sanctions against other countries are ruthless, and they are by no means hot-headed, but always adhere to sanctions.
