I hope this doesn't lead to poorly maintained planes falling out of the sky on a regular basis. We have already seen what an embargo can do to the vehicle situation in Cuba, where most cars are decades old. While a jet can last, it needs those parts. It would be horrible for a jet full of people to suffer for the ambitions of their leaders.
It seems like your right, it's going to be the people on top with private jets making these unmaintable jets keep flying until an accident occurs.
