It is normal in times of war for the opposing sides to cease all trade. I would have though that all trade between the US and Russia would have ceased by now. I wonder if someone can do a bit of research to determine what trade if any still occurs between the US and Russia, or via their proxies, at this time. The purpose of sanctions, officially, is to isolate the individual or state in order to encourage them to change their ways.
As this site is pro western i should be able to post pro western narratives without sanction. yes double standards but then i never said we lived in a fair world:
here is a Yale study on Over 1,000 Companies Have Curtailed Operations in Russia—But Some Remain :
https://som.yale.edu/story/2022/over-1000-companies-have-curtailed-operations-russia-some-remainSince the invasion of Ukraine began, we have been tracking the responses of well over 1,200 companies, and counting. Over 1,000 companies have publicly announced they are voluntarily curtailing operations in Russia to some degree beyond the bare minimum legally required by international sanctions — but some companies have continued to operate in Russia undeterred. Originally a simple "withdraw" vs. "remain" list, our list of companies now consists of five categories—graded on a school-style letter grade scale of A-F for the completeness of withdrawal. The list below is updated continuously by Jeffrey Sonnenfeld and his team of experts, research fellows, and students at the Yale Chief Executive Leadership Institute to reflect new announcements from companies in as close to real time as possible. Our list has already garnered extensive coverage for its role in helping catalyze the mass corporate exodus from Russia. When this list was first published the week of February 28, only several dozen companies had announced their departure. We are humbled that our list helped galvanize nearly 1,000 companies to withdraw in the two months since.
its quite liberating to post links haha. Also yes, I accept this is an example of woke culture and nationalist rhetoric in action but this is a war and Russia is the enemy. do not buy or sell russian goods or services as in doing so you are supporting the russian war.
so it begins...
so lets boycott:
Hard Rock Cafe Blizzard
Steam
and
Carlsberg
all of whom still operate in Russia. I removed Hard Rock Cafe as its easier on a gaming forum to include Blizzard. But Riot Gaming is there too.
how am I doing so far ? ill try to limit these pro US rhetoric posts to 100. so this is 1/100.
