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.
It felt to me like a switch was thrown, with an almost audible click, and suddenly all the hostility and hatred that the governments and media have been cultivating against the filthy unvaccinated masses was suddenly diverted and unleashed on THE EVIL RUSSIANS.
This is way beyond sanity. We are in the middle of a planet-wide mass psychosis. I'd feel terrified if I hadn't already lost my will to live a while ago.
