The Belgorod Brit tackles sanctions. What are they? How do they work? Why don't they work? In the film, he talks about the first sanctions of the modern era. When the British abolished slavery in 1833 in their own Empire, they extended the Act to allow the Royal Navy to interdict slavers operating on the high seas and who had no connection with the British Empire. This was the first time secular moral decisions were deemed universal and backed by lethal force.

In the podcast, BB explains the elements of sanctions, namely, a sense of moral outrage, economic control over the sanctioned polity, and the arms necessary to enforce your power violently. He goes on to explain why each of these elements has been defeated in turn by the enemies of the West. Ultimately, the military defeat of the United States in the Gulf means that sanctions are toothless and ineffective. In fact, those who sanction are becoming politically isolated and ignored by the nations outside their empire. The Chinese will stand by the river and wait for their enemies bodies to float by, even if they never said that.
