The lack of replies or rebuttals to this is telling w.r.t the sanctions argument.

The only way to disprove the argument is to have evidence that the sanctions block access to machinery or services that Venezuela could not obtain elsewhere.

Which is improbable since both Iran and North Korea bypass sanctions to the extent they both have nuclear programs.
