    There have been a few excellent videos by ‘Real Reporter’ on YT about this topic too. Many of the companies that supposedly stopped trading in Russia simply started selling products through an intermediary and continued supply in the same stores. Capitalism and corporate greed is terrible.

      That’s crazy to me because it’s SO preventable. I worked in the financial sector, and sanctions completely shut that sector out of a bunch of countries.

      This is a governmental failure as well as corporate ethics failure in my book. It should be common use of American soft power to just entirely shut countries out of our sphere.
