Pol Pot was Prime Minister of Democratic Kampuchea [as Cambodia was the known] from 1976-1979 and NOT April 1976-September 1976.

He did not leave office until a Vietnamese invasion of his country forced him out of power in 1979. By then, he had already spent nothing less than 3 years in power.

Foreign AffairsAmerica: Do Sanctions Work? by dermmy(op): 9:05am On Sep 23, 2019
Governments and multinational bodies impose economic sanctions to try to alter the strategic decisions of state and nonstate actors that threaten their interests or violate international norms of behavior but the question is do these sanctions produce their desired results?

Iran has been under US sanctions since 1979 revolution and this country was still able to build one of the most powerful militaries in middle east and it is ranked as the 14th most powerful military in the world. As the country's economy continue to receive death blows from the United States the Iranian government isn't showing any sign of capitulation even this economic warfare has emboldened the regime in Iran. As a response to this the country has been scaling back its commitment to the JCPOA deal.

I can say the sanction is pushing the regime towards getting a nuclear weapon.

RUSSIA

After the annexation of Crimea by the Russian federation US and EU countries rolled out series of sanctions on Russia but as usual it emboldened Vladimir Putin by going into Syria to prop up Assad's regime which was met with sanctions too but the government in Russia didn't succumb to all these western sanctions. The world has seen a more assertive Russia.

Venezuela, Cuba, Noth Korea are countries that have shown defiance to US/western sanctions.
When you sanction a country ordinary civilian suffer the effect unlike the political elites who have amassed wealth for themselves

Do sanctions produce their desired result or the opposite?

So I see a lot of military theoreticians here.Supposing you are made Chief of Army Staff, Nigerian Army, what practical strategies/tactics will you deploy to vanquish Boko haram within the above time frame? Let's Discuss.
6 months? NATO has been battling the Taliban of Afghanistan since 2001. The war on terror is not a conventional warfare, when you attack these terrorists brace yourself up for counter attack, they have people joining their ranks everyday and they are highly motivated. But Nigeria can still do better if it has good intelligence gathering. That is what Nigerian military lacks.

Foreign AffairsRe: BREAKING : MORE US SANCTIONS ON CHINA OVER TIBET, OTHERS. ARE YOU IN SUPPORT ? by dermmy(m): 1:10pm On Sep 19, 2019
The Sanction tool does not make sense anymore, US has abused it so much. They would even sanction any country that purchases arms from Russia under their CAATSA act, they way they sanctioned Chinese arms firms after China got SU-35 and S-400 from Russia. The sanctions don't yield its desired result. Has Maduro given up power? Sanctions have emboldened Iran the more. Sanction that did not force Russia to return Crimea it even emboldened Putin by entering the Syrian war. Sanction is now a toy in the hands of America.

Foreign AffairsRe: Saudi Arabia Joins U.S Led Coalition In The Gulf by dermmy(op):
ehirosplusbiz:
This is good development
Good development? It will increase tensions in the gulf any miscalculation could cascade into a horrible conflagration. A country that couldn't defeat a non-state actor the Houthis, a country that couldn't detect and intercept drones with her sophisticated air defence system is joining a military coalition to protect oil shipping in the gulf? Would that stop the Houthis from launching their drones and missiles against Saudi targets in the future?

The kingdom should just accept her defeat in Yemen and focus on defending her air space from future attacks.
Foreign AffairsSaudi Arabia Joins U.S Led Coalition In The Gulf by dermmy(op):
Saudi Arabia joined a U.S.-led coalition to secure sea lines vital to oil shipping in the Middle East in the aftermath of a devastating attacks on Aramco’s oil facilities.

The International Maritime Security Construct’s area of operation covers the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most critical waterway for oil supplies, the Strait of Bab al-Mandab, the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf. The move aims to support efforts to thwart threats to trade as well as guarantee energy security, the state-run Saudi Press Agency reported.

A showdown between Iran and the Trump administration after the U.S. pulled out of the 2015 nuclear agreement with the Islamic Republic has threatened shipping in the region. Attacks on tankers and drones prompted the U.S. to call for a coalition of allies to protect ships passing through the area.

About 40% of the world’s seaborne oil travels through the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. and U.K. have stepped up their military presence in the region amid calls to ensure the waterway remains open.

The International Maritime Security Construct task force is headquartered in Bahrain, and its members include the U.S., the U.K., Australia as well as the host country.

Shaped like an inverted V, the waterway connects the Persian Gulf to the Indian Ocean, with Iran to its north and the United Arab Emirates and Oman to the south. Its shallow depth makes ships vulnerable to mines, and the proximity to land -- Iran, in particular -- leaves large tankers open to attack from shore-based missiles or interception by fast patrol boats and helicopters.

Foreign AffairsRe: Putin Proposes S-400 For Saudi Arabia After Oil Industry Attack by dermmy(op): 7:46am On Sep 17, 2019
Efewestern:
You are correct, US will definitely not allow that, but if Russia could get Saudi Arabia to purchase the S-400, that will be a major boost to the system as many countries will run to Russia for air defense rather than the US, a major blow to the US and the much "Sophisticated" patriot defense system.

@Bolded, I don't think Russia cares much about any ally, from their actions thus far in Syria, one can conclude that they only care about their objectives and interests. Allies can't really isolate Russia at this stage.
Exactly

Foreign AffairsPutin Proposes S-400 For Saudi Arabia After Oil Industry Attack by dermmy(op):
Russia is ready to help Saudi Arabia following attacks on the Saudi oil industry if needed, Russian President Vladimir Putin said after talks with leaders of Turkey and Iran in Ankara on Monday, and proposed Russian weapons for purchase.

“We are ready to provide respective assistance to Saudi Arabia, and it would be enough for the political leadership of Saudi Arabia to make a wise government decision - as the leaders of Iran did in their time by purchasing S-300 and as (Turkish) President (Tayyip) Erdogan did by purchasing the latest S-400 ‘Triumph’ air defense systems from Russia,” Putin said.

These Russian weapons would protect any infrastructure facilities of Saudi Arabia, he added.

Now back to the topic, the carnage was fvcking massive. It was rumored that Saudi Arabia's oil producing capacity has been cut by half to 5 million barrels per day. grin grin. I think they also lost up to 30 personnel in the attack. About 10 suicide drones and an unknown number of cruise missiles were used by the Houthis, I'm beginning to think Iran has a coordinated logistics with the Houthis shocked shocked shocked

Attached are the images of the carnage, including the satellite image shocked shocked shocked
What happened to their air defence systems? Saudi Arabia didn't detect these drones let alone firing a single shot. Saudi Arabia is eyeing the S-400 though but like Efewestern has said "Sophisticated weapons are useless in the hands of lazy, unmotivated, and highly undisciplined soldiers" . grin

... or perhaps these defense systems are overrated

Saudi Arabia take on Iran? Even the Saudis know they won't survive a year if they make any mistake of engaging Iran. It's a common knowledge that the Saudi military is a very weak one, sophisticated weapons don't win wars, something we keep telling some of our people here who have been brainwashed by some movies.
I'll accept the fact that those systems are overrated. Saudi Arabia's military has to explain how 10 non-stealth drones were able to infiltrate their airspace without being detected or shot down by those systems. Were those guys watching the radars sleeping?
