Except that isn't remotely true. For example we can set up trade embargos and cut Russia off from all trade under US sphere of influence so they'll only be able to trade with Brazil India Iran and China. We can also seize foreign owned assets owned by Russians in western nations. More aggressively we can send US/NATO war ships to Ukraine to provide an armed escort for Ukrainian ships carrying grain in order to ensure that shipments do not delay.
I wonder if trade embargo would actually even work anymore if enough big corporations just decide to not care about it like some have done with sanctions.
Fair enough
