I could buy 🇺🇸 ball bearings (a rarity partially for this reason) and I they are sold to Korea to make machines, these machines with my ball bearings are sold to Japanese auto manufacturers, and a STOLEN auto ends up somewhere it’s not supposed to, my life is over

Total embargo and make it a pain to even send humanitarian aid because of the number of OFAC restrictions

I mean make it so that even civilian goods can’t be sent for free because they could potentially be used by the military for other purposes, just like how we treat state sponsors of terrorism

Yes, we should do this for Israel, that’s what I mean. Because they are state sponsors of terror. Sanction them into oblivion

If I want to export ball bearings Into, say 🇮🇱 Or Egypt, both MNNA’s, I have to write a 5 page document proving that without a doubt, the ball bearings won’t be used for anything mildly military. I then have to complete an additional 250 pages on every possible scenario out to the end user guaranteeing the same thing

A roundabout way of saying it’s already in full force & a MAJOR Roadblock to small businesses and donors

But for Cuba I think you literally need an OFAC permit if you send food or aid to someone that’s not the church. Can’t refuel planes there rn either

They’re mostly out of liquid fossil fuels. Totally out of jet A1, out of Jet A, and have some badly coagged avgas.

As to the 2 mentioned MNNA Countries, the system is ment to keep down the little guy, and even domestic manufacturing. Anyone short of Boeing would get crushed if something happens. You get your business immediately shut down, assets confiscated, not to mention the lawfare. That’s why ANY Export oriented business, not just MIC, would have a huge problem breaking through to the market, and those are MNNA.

Oof. I knew dealing with the state sponsors of terrorism was rough (had to self-declare my company’s app that uses encryption to the NSA and BIS every year, even though it was fairly standard stuff). All we had to do was make sure it wasn’t available to Cuba, Iran, Syria, NK, and South Sudan. I didn’t realize even MNNAs were a problem with something as simple as a ball bearing
