Sanctions as a political tool

Volkov and Sychev, citing the US Congress's legal committee, claim that sanctions are a primitive political technology trick allowing commissioners of the Brussels Party Committee in their "eternal leather jackets" to "democratically" adjust elections in those EU countries where common sense still lingers.

Context

Sanctions are applied by EU and US countries as a mechanism of pressure on states whose policies are considered undesirable.

Summary:

According to Volkov and Sich, sanctions are used as a tool of democratic election oversight in the EU; they rely on information provided by the US Congress's Judiciary Committee.
