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.
My reply to u/one_two_three_4 since this platform silently deletes anything after the fifth reply:
My country is not officially at war. They did not declare it. America did not declare war. Russia did not attack America or any country besides Ukraine. As far as I know there are only targeted sanctions on specific industries I'm not involved in. (you might call those acts of war, but what's new)
I'm fully capable of mobilizing to defend my nation as a patriotic citizen, but until my country frankly and honestly declares war against Russia - with specific, achievable goals to win the war - I am acting accordingly and assuming we are at peace with the Russian people. I will not be pressured to join a meaningless cancel culture "resistance" movement by the collective. To do otherwise is to accept a feminized passive-aggressive system of social control that underhandedly uses indirect and soft power - and the collective rage of indoctrinated masses - to ensure compliance. I despise all exercises of state power, especially military invasions. I feel sorry for the innocent civilians being needlessly killed and displaced, but I don't #StandWithUkraine. It really doesn't matter what's happening in Ukraine or if sociopathic dictators are threatening to nuke the world if safety means I'm forced to join the Borg.
In the meantime if asked for my opinion I will treat this the way I've treated the so called COVID19 "pandemic". "What's that? Sorry I don't watch the news. I haven't seen any Russians around here."
