The US sanctions are only those that the US can implement. However, it is also my understanding that the US asks other nations to join in...some may be pressured to do so.
Historically, yes.
Under the current management, after the shite el presidente has been spouting since November about the freeloading scum in NATO, and dissing every world leader about apart from Putin and the house of Saud, exactly who's going to feel obliged to support him in imposing sanctions?
The difference at least with these new sanctions, is that they were voted in by veto-proof majorities in both chambers of congress.
Plus in addition to that, by the very nature of these sanctions as I've read, they are more personal like travel and banking and that could attain some international cooperation.
It was the notion of other nations joining your country and its leader in supporting sanctions you've imposed that I was thinking of here, rather than the support, or otherwise, it has in the congress. Sorry that wasn't clear.
Well I often get the impression from many people, that when the US acts, it is assumed it's unilaterally. But then every nation acts in its own interest, could be described as unilateral.
The US is no different, all [it] can do is what...[it] can do.
