A regime that has antagonized the US and mistreated its subjects for decades would obtain more resources.

So... you punish a regime for mistreating its subjects - by mistreating its subjects even more?

  • It's the less bad option, because it should lead to the end of the regime.

    The alternative is giving the regime more resources to continue or even expand its policies.
