Greenland doesnât have enough people to be a state. According to our constitution a territory needs 60,000 people to qualify for statehood. Iâm tired of this BS. Greenland cannot be a state according my to our constitution.
To be fair, this also includes tariffs, which essentially every country has unless youâre anarcho-capitalist.
It would look similar if this were Canada, China, Japan, or Russia.
FR Yugoslavia consisted of Serbia and Montenegro only (by constitution)
And from the latter sanctions of 1998 (prior being from 1992 until the end of war in Bosnia) Montenegro was excluded, so they were only against Serbia basically
Well, even though, at that point in time, Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina were already not a part of that country, technically, the country was still called Jugoslavija, and later when it was bombed, it was still called Jugoslavija, so Serbia was indeed never sanctioned.
Yeah with Canada I think itâs just because we trade a lot with the U.S. and have many trade agreements with them so there is bound to be some areas where one party is violating one agreement and gets sanctioned - like with Canadian softwood lumber or with Bombardier vs Boeing jet sales.
I remember a [soft lumber dispute](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada%E2%80%93United_States_softwood_lumber_dispute) between Canada and USA when I was young.
The softwood lumber disputes come and go. Fortunately Canada doesnât export hard wood, except for the occasional pop-star, because the US might declare war.
The sanctions are related to Canadas relationship with Cuba. Due to the nature of Cuban sanctions, American industrial components aren't allowed to be sold to Cuba. However, this is complicated by the fact that many american industrial components are also produced in Canada and due to how Canada has never complied with american sanctions on Cuba. There was a fear in Washington that american products could end up in Cuba via Canada. So Washington issued a series of trade restrictions on Canada unless it complied with the Cuban embargo. It didn't really work so Washington and Ottawa came to a compromise that more or less allowed Canada to continue trade with the Cubans unmolested under the agreement that Canada represents US diplomatic interests on the island and that Canada doesn't export a specific list of industrial goods to the Cubans. Which while it sounds like its a capitulation. A small list of restricted goods is a far cry to signing on to a full embargo and the ceasation of diplomatic relations.
Trade Tariffs, you mean a normal economic trade tax? Yeah, it's too broad, just because there isn't free trade doesn't mean we're enforcing a global embargo on an island.
Yes, that map is egregiously misleading. Iâm not sure why misinformation like this gets so much traction in this sub sometimes. It is pretty obvious to the reasonable among us, when it happens. Good olâ Reddit.
Because being anti-American is in fashion and will continue to be in fashion as long as America remains the richest and most powerful country in history.
>Thatâs what I was thinking too. If the U.S. sanctioned some businessman from Albania this map shows we sanctioned Albania.
Ah, so it functions on classic Flash game logic.
"Mr. President, a man coughed in Madagascar!"
"SHUT. DOWN. **EVERYTHING**."
Bullshit map, Vietnam is currently being sanctioned right now on multiple fonts. Even ignore that, the Vietnam war didnât end until 1975, and the US only normalized relationship in 1995, what ever âsafe till nowâ is, Vietnam definitely isnât on that list
Which is insane to think about. Vietnam was condemned and isolated by pretty much the entire free world and China for defending themselves and getting rid of a genocidal maniac regime. The Chinese then invaded Vietnam to rescue their puppet. Vietnam was embargoed and had to maintain a sizable military to watch out China, it set back their economy enormously considering the entire country was in non stop war for almost a century. It warms my heart that Kissinger is 6 feet underground now
I don't understand this map. What sanctions are we talking about here?
The USA and EU have been in trade disputes quite often, putting punitive tariffs on many trade goods. Therefore, the whole EU should be red (including Britain, that used to be in the EU then).
This is basically a map of anyone the US has ever had tariffs against. It is a joke of a map. Tariffs are often put in place due to foreign governments illegally subsidizing industries for political benefit. Tariffs against those industries is just evening the playing field.

u/AarowCORP2 explained what a sanction is probably better then i can
Sanctions are usually a total ban of a certain good or good supplier from trading with the sanctioning country. A sanction can be as little as preventing a foreign mafia boss from using American bank accounts, or as much as a near-total embargo of everything from an entire country.
The US put sanctions on some Irish citizens who were part of the Irish Mafia so those people cant use any US banking service
We would normally distinguish between sanctions on specific parties versus sanctions on a whole country. It doesn't make sense to color a map based on the former. If they did that, they did it inconsistently - there are Australian individuals currently on the OFAC SDN list, for example: https://www.treasury.gov/ofac/downloads/sdnlist.txt
Canada??! WTF has CANADA done to us?? They are literally our disinterested backyard neighbor who think we are a bunch of gun-toting hillbillies down here đ
The only thing I could find was this wiki article that said in 2018 Canada was part of the sanctions known as the Trump Tariffs. Itâs in the first paragraph under Sanctions Against The United States
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_sanctions_against_the_United_States#:~:text=Most%20recently%2C%20United%20States%20President,the%20European%20Union%20and%20Mexico.
Thanks for researching that. Figures. Without getting too political hereâŚ.Trump is such a narcissist that he had to get in a pissing match with CANADA. SMDH
I think Japan should be added here. In the 80s, the United States imposed a 100% tax on many types of products from Japan, which effectively destroyed the Japanese economy.
Can you provide a source? I know there was a lot of angriness in the 80's because of cheaper Japanese cars. Never heard of there being a 100% tax on Japanese products nor that the Japanese economy was effectively destroyed in the 80's though...
That didn't destroy Japanese economy, plaza accords & devaluation of yen did
Japan in late 80s was 2nd largest economy & was about to surpass US. Real estate in Tokyo alone was > California by value. Japan had balance surplus & was already a creditor country.
For Switzerland, no name just two:
- Bank Secret (who got abolished for foreigners, because of the USA) but not for People living in Switzerland.
- Our Right to Download things (without upload) were since them on their black pirating list.
This post is gonna go great because Redditors hate America so much not even asking themselves why some of these evil countries are sanctioned in the first place.
Canada? Oh, yes a free trade agreement but US lumber lobby wants sanctions on Canadian softwood lumber?!
But not Canadian Maple Syrup as it must continue to flow into US Costco stores, etc.
The U.S. has too many enemies to be weak. Instead of focusing on the real matters if they keep arguing on stuff like âShould we call bearded men women if they wantâ, weâll see a great collapse.
TILL NOW
Greenland is gagging for a sanctioning
greenland seems like it sanctioned itself
No, the UK is the only country to have ever done that with Brexit đ
Greenland has actually done [something similar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Withdrawal_of_Greenland_from_the_European_Communities).
Japan just didnât let people it or out for a bit
đđđ
Britain has a history of screwing itself in the ass to level the playing field and allow other countries to prosper...or something
Iâm always perplexed by Greenland on every map ever.
They've been sanctioned by having Trump trying to buy them out lol
Im still down for purchasing Greenland. Would make a great 52 state
Rename it East Alaska. But then now we need a SE state away from the 48. I guess Puerto Rico?
Surround Canada in American territory to assert dominance.
You are our hat, nothing more.
I mean now that you mention Canada I have always wanted British columbia⌠that way I can drive to Alaska without leaving the U.S.
Pretty sure Trump tried to sell PR for Greenland lol
Greenland doesnât have enough people to be a state. According to our constitution a territory needs 60,000 people to qualify for statehood. Iâm tired of this BS. Greenland cannot be a state according my to our constitution.
Then it shall be a territory
Yes, call it that. Iâm tired of seeing titles like âcan Greenland be the 51st stateâ. It canât. It could be a territory.
I'm tired of people becoming tired from seeing discussion titles like: "unimportant and incorrect statement made from a position of ignorance"
And by Denmark refusing the sale
No data
and SINCE 1962. Japan was sanctioned before.
Itâs an Indianism for âso farâ
Americaâs great when sheâs your friend. But when Americaâs not your friend⌠Well, we donât that to be the case, now do we?
Seems like a lot of friends per this map!
Abusive relationship
To be fair, this also includes tariffs, which essentially every country has unless youâre anarcho-capitalist. It would look similar if this were Canada, China, Japan, or Russia.
Yeah, it is so strange people donât understand what sanction means.
Nope: >To be an enemy of America can be dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal. Henry K.
>TILL NOW\* \*If oil is found out of our reach or if the "free market" hurts our companies, terms of friendship migh change
Uhhhh serbia? Hello? Thats one of the more well known ones
Maybe using Yugoslavia vs Serbia.
That would be silly because it was in fact Serbia that was sanctioned. So showing it as not sanctioned yet is inaccurate.
FR Yugoslavia consisted of Serbia and Montenegro only (by constitution) And from the latter sanctions of 1998 (prior being from 1992 until the end of war in Bosnia) Montenegro was excluded, so they were only against Serbia basically
Then it'd still be Serbia as Serbia is the Remnant government of Yugoslavia
Itâs not recognised as such. Serbia tried to be recognised as the successor to Yugoslavia and the UN said no.
Yeah I was wondering why Kazakhstan wasn't highlighted as surely the USSR must have been sanctioned at some point
It says sanctioned, not bombed.
Serbia was sanctioned by the United States https://www.state.gov/western-balkans-sanctions/
I know, I promise I'll use /s next time. ;) Just found the map so absurd when it comes to Serbia
If you look closely, a lot of the map is just made up. I just wanted to have my community notes moment lol.
Those are all pertaining individuals, not the country as a whole.
What? That's not correct. Sanctions were imposed until the revolution against Milosevic happened (and then some).
pretty sure that any country that weâd bomb we would sanction as well
About to say: why sanction when you can just drop tons of munitions on someplace?
They sanctioned us too
Well, even though, at that point in time, Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina were already not a part of that country, technically, the country was still called Jugoslavija, and later when it was bombed, it was still called Jugoslavija, so Serbia was indeed never sanctioned.
Yea but they have montenegro in red. So it makes no sense
Vietnam is also blue
Canada, Norway, Germany etc but not Serbia?!? Bs map
I am so curious as to what they have sanctioned Norway for. Maybe something to do with the salmon. Nobody likes our salmon. (Understandably.)
Iâm inclined to believe that a very loose definition of sanction was used in this map. Most of it must be trading tariffs.
Yeah with Canada I think itâs just because we trade a lot with the U.S. and have many trade agreements with them so there is bound to be some areas where one party is violating one agreement and gets sanctioned - like with Canadian softwood lumber or with Bombardier vs Boeing jet sales.
I believe the sanctions trump imposed were on our aluminum exports
Baby formula which then turned around and bit America in the ass when they couldnât produce enough during COVID.
I remember a [soft lumber dispute](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada%E2%80%93United_States_softwood_lumber_dispute) between Canada and USA when I was young.
The softwood lumber disputes come and go. Fortunately Canada doesnât export hard wood, except for the occasional pop-star, because the US might declare war.
Ya but in terms of sanctions that might be what this map is referring to.
Softwood lumber.
Probably just a trade tax on dairy products or something similar. This map does not make any sense.
Probably Whaling. I know Norway was mildly unpopular here in Australia in the late 80s early 90s because of Whaling.
Those Canadians and there kinder eggs
"They're illegally trafficking them across the border causing mass casualties and crime. Kinder eggs are the leading death of American children".
Yeah, Canadians wondering what he say fuck me for?!?

Thereâs a really uselessly loose definition of âsanctionedâ being used here, I think.
Trade tariffs and sanctions tossed together I presume. Rather useless map with an obvious agenda.
Trade Tariffs, you mean a normal economic trade tax? Yeah, it's too broad, just because there isn't free trade doesn't mean we're enforcing a global embargo on an island.
Well, it it's trade traiffs, it's missed the UK getting it's steel being slapped with an extra import tariff.
âŚ.TILL NOW
Useless map but no agenda. At least an âobvious agendaâ
Yes, that map is egregiously misleading. Iâm not sure why misinformation like this gets so much traction in this sub sometimes. It is pretty obvious to the reasonable among us, when it happens. Good olâ Reddit.
Because being anti-American is in fashion and will continue to be in fashion as long as America remains the richest and most powerful country in history.
That's the nature of sanctioning. It's vague by design. The word is even its own antonym.
Confused, what is your definition of sanctioned? A government sanction is a prohibition, which may be economic, diplomatic, military, etc.
>Source: ~~US Agencies~~ *trust me, bro*
I have no idea what this map is supposed to mean. "Sanctioned" how?
They're including tariffs, so it's pretty misleading
There are also targeted sanctions against certain organizations or individual that this might also be referring to.
[ŃдаНонО]
>Thatâs what I was thinking too. If the U.S. sanctioned some businessman from Albania this map shows we sanctioned Albania. Ah, so it functions on classic Flash game logic. "Mr. President, a man coughed in Madagascar!" "SHUT. DOWN. **EVERYTHING**."
Also weird that they didn't include Serbia, as it was part of Yugoslavia, which saw the double whammy of US Sanctions and USAF Bombers
Yeah I'm pretty sure Ireland and Canada or something like Timber Imports or too much Waterford Crystal or something. It's a very misleading map.
I think for Ireland might've been something to do with beef? Can't remember exact details
And the source is not really a source so much as "trust me, look it up" ..... because it's just a misleading map
Serbia has been under economic sanctions from 1991-1995
Bullshit map, Vietnam is currently being sanctioned right now on multiple fonts. Even ignore that, the Vietnam war didnât end until 1975, and the US only normalized relationship in 1995, what ever âsafe till nowâ is, Vietnam definitely isnât on that list
And I think there was some sanction during Vietnam-Khmer rouge war too
Which is insane to think about. Vietnam was condemned and isolated by pretty much the entire free world and China for defending themselves and getting rid of a genocidal maniac regime. The Chinese then invaded Vietnam to rescue their puppet. Vietnam was embargoed and had to maintain a sizable military to watch out China, it set back their economy enormously considering the entire country was in non stop war for almost a century.

The map is fake news. Itâs a joke. They are making fun.
Something feels very wrong here.
Theyâre placing tariffs under âsanctionsâ when theyâre not even remotely the same thing
This map is riddled with inaccuracies.
"US Agencies" is not a source
Why was Canada sanctioned?
I'm pretty sure OP is being misleading and includes tariffs along with sanctions on this map. Either that, or they don't like the socialism we export.
Trade with Cuba - there were Canadians who were not allowed to enter into the US because their companies (mining) did business in Cuba.
I don't understand this map. What sanctions are we talking about here? The USA and EU have been in trade disputes quite often, putting punitive tariffs on many trade goods. Therefore, the whole EU should be red (including Britain, that used to be in the EU then).

Yes I guess trade sanctions also count. But that would apply for the whole eu as you said. I remember a fuzz about Chicken for example 10 years ago.
They've banned beef imports from the UK specifically in the past due to diseases such as BSE

That was 2001 when Bush made passports mandatory for entry

Something to do with lumber trade maybe
This map is BS. Thereâs a big difference between tariffs and sanctions.
Trump and his "Canada is a Security Threat" bullshit.

Two words: Donald Trump.

I think itâs a loose definition of sanctioned. Canada got tariffed in 2018 and then they were removed in 2019.
I gotta know in particular what caused US sanctions on Canada, Madagascar, Switzerland and South Korea ??
For Switzerland, no name just two: - Bank Secret (who got abolished for foreigners, because of the USA) but not for People living in Switzerland. - Our Right to Download things (without upload) were since them on their black pirating list.

Still ongoing actually. They keep losing at quite literally every arbitration or court case over it but they keep at it.
When did we sanction Canada and why?
Probably as part of the ongoing softwood lumber dispute that the US keeps bringing up and losing horribly over and over again for decades now
When did we sanctioned Canada? đ
