Bruh, you are thinking that the West has a coherent strategy. Well, maybe they do, and perhaps Sweden burning Koran and insulting Erdogan while begging Turkey to let it into NATO is some sort of 6D chess move too complicated for us simpletons to understand.

I mean, it's a smart way for anti nato activists to achieve their goals while not being persecuted for it.

Pressure campaign is a test of whether Washington can enforce sanctions.

ISTANBUL—U.S. officials are pressuring Turkey to stop Russian airlines from flying American-made airplanes to and from the country, said officials familiar with the talks, signaling a new push in Washington to persuade countries to enforce sanctions imposed on Moscow after its invasion of Ukraine last year.

Senior American officials warned last month that Turkish individuals are at risk of jail time, fines, loss of export privileges and other measures if they provide services like refueling and spare parts to U.S.-made planes flying to and from Russia and Belarus in violation of export controls imposed last year, the officials said. Assistant Secretary of Commerce Thea Rozman Kendler delivered the message to Turkish officials during a December visit to Turkey, the officials said.

The warning to Turkey is a key test of whether the U.S. and its allies can succeed in isolating Russia over the long term, or whether Moscow can find a way to continue economic activity with the help of third countries that are central to the Kremlin’s strategy of finding partners outside of the West. The Turkish Foreign Ministry didn’t respond to a request for comment on the warning.

“At a certain point, they will have to take an enforcement-related action,” said Emily Kilcrease, a former deputy assistant U.S. trade representative and currently a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security in Washington. “Otherwise the whole kind of thing falls apart, if it turns out they have knowledge of violations and they haven’t been able to do anything to address it.”

The warning comes as the U.S. government moves to shore up sanctions against Russia nearly a year after it began its full-scale assault on Ukraine. U.S. officials are aiming to prod countries with economic ties to Russia—like Turkey and the United Arab Emirates—to do more to comply with the sanctions, which are intended to starve the Russian government of funds and key technologies it could use to wage war.

Below video is in Mandarin but if you can understand it talks about history of caviar, the different types, and why they were expensive. Towards the end it talks about how China has worked out how to effectively raise them artificially, such that by 2018 China was supplying 84% of worlds caviar.

Tactically America does have the ability to inflict harm, I mean look at Ukraine. They launched the Maidan coup and got its puppet regime to provoke Russia. Strategically, I do agree with you that its lacking but using the negative media is hardly "big brained" and standard practice to push US policies abroad.
