In a previous post, you said that it made more sense to send troops that taking stuff from the rich. Those rich who support what you support. You are a joke and I am blocking your ass, and your comrade M.W.Nobody is defending Putin but there is a right way to fight and stop a war and there is a wrong way. Seizing personal assets of civilians without investigations or trials is not right. Two wrongs do not make one right.
There is very little distinction between government and oligarchs in Russia. It is a gang of criminals at the top, some give themselves government titles, some don't bother.
I am usually very much against politics interfering in stuff like sports and arts. But this is not "politics". "Politics" is rhetoric, negotiations, trade, treaties, pressure, etc. What Russia is doing is not "politics" anymore. Unprovoked military aggression is not "politics". This is far beyond politics. So the sanctions are not political. They are practical. They are there to isolate, block and make a pariah a country that claimed that it can shit all over the international law and no one can do anything about it. Well the West is doing something about it, both the governments, private companies and non-governmental organizations.
I will put on ignore any new registered motherfucker who defends Putin with illogical out of context bullshit.

The criminal gang took over Russia. And as long as they were confined to Russia, no one touched them. But when you start an unhinged unprovoked military invasion in the middle of Europe, all bets are off.Do have any evidence? Did you see them doing that in front of your eyes? If this is what you suspect, why not bring them to trial??!! Launch an investigation and prosecute them in a trial to examine their criminal acts and examine how and whether their assets were gained through crimes so we know for sure!! And if their assets were found to be gained through criminal activities, then seize them. This is what we do when we are governed by rules of law.
Rabid dogs are not treated the same as normal dogs, even if the normal dog has fleas.Praticalness shouldn't be used as justification for violating people's fundamental rights to property even if they are the "enemies".

It means that dealing with a rogue pariah state erodes the "good will" asset of the company, and the company makes the decision not to erode it. Which is exactly how it should be.
Mind you, the opposing side is not reasonable. So how do you deal with an unreasonable, old despot?
