I examined this some here:

https://globalities.org/2023/02/syrias-quake-response-a-window-into-the-grisly-but-declining-impact-of-u-s-sanctions-worldwide/

One of my chief takeaways was that Biden, by catapulting Russia into the (already fairly full) ranks of Team Sanctioned has succeeded in strengthening that team considerably.... (But relief from OFAC's draconian controls likely won't come to the poor bloody Syrians any time soon.)
