Yandex are apparently banned from NYSE. There are countless other articles like this one on countless other sites, about countless other companies.
Beyond the stupidity of giving Russia nothing to lose, is ANYONE considering the fallout this, at all? Like how Trudeau inadvertently triggered a run on the banks when he froze truckers' assets, How do we think asian corporations are going to respond to the knowledge that, should their country sufficiently piss off the west's ruling corpocracy, they will get fucked over in ANY and ALL business they have with the west?
This is madness. There isn't a rational thought in anyone's head at this point. The west is destroying international faith in its economic infrastructure.
It's suicide.
One my professors ~20 years ago wrote about how the world was switching from the Cold War / Red Scare era to a new villain afterthe fall of the Soviets pretty much removed Russia as a threat. The new threat was terrorism / Islamism.
Guess we're back to the Red Scare again.
The real "wake up" moment is when you realize there always has to SOME kind of scare going on, so people don't realize how they're getting fucked in the ass by our politicians and corporations. Externalize that rage.
