Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the meaning of "pledge" has changed over the years, so now it is more like, "Yeah, I'll say something that sounds good, with little or no intention of actually doing it - or if I do, I'll take my own sweet time."

The new axis of evil.  Russia, Iran and Belarus.  Bunch of bumbling troglodytes. >

Something tells me they don't care. >

Just like russia claimed they "don't care" about sanctions. Riiiight. Autocrats can't admit that the sanctions hurt, but their effect is pretty easy to show.
They care a whole lot. >

Not really, otherwise this war would be over and NK wouldn't have nukes and Iran would be willing to negotiate.  
The leaders who the sanctions are supposed to affect have entirely alternate financial institutions that bypass sanctions altogether. The smart ones at least. >

I'm not claiming that a few sanctions end a conflict by themselves. This issue isn't black and white - and also, sanctions typically work on a scale of years, not days.
You can bet that all the sanctions in the past contributed to the current destabilization of the iranian regime. >

Homie they’ve been sanctioned so long they don’t even know what it’s like to not have them (since 1979). They haven’t even come close to reigning Iran in and I doubt they will start now. Sanctions rarely very rarely have the effect we want them to. People like to say oh look at Russia’s economy but then forget everyone’s is in the toliet we’re in a global recession. Sanctions didn’t destabilize Iran regularly killing civilians over bull shit did.
