Quill7513 comments on West is ‘missing obscure sanctions that could set back Russia’s war machine’

sorry. i brought some of my own research into this after reading this article. the office is their headquarters of north american operations. but whatever the case is, they do business in the united states. this is not something Ukraine's western allies have zero control in. this corporation is available to sanction. whether or not this comes to pass is another question

Headquarters of North Amercan operations is not the same as the headquarters of the company. You are talking and acting as if they are.

The US operations can be impacted, what goes on between China and Russia can not be. Now whether or not they care about US operations is a different queston. Sanctions are not magically in place across the world just because they have a US office. I'm sorry but you have no idea how things work, so I'm going to peace out.

yes. i know this. i'm not acting as you're saying. yes, they likely will continue to do business with russia if they are sactioned by the united states, but it's still going to damage their bottom line, impacting their decision making process. that's all i'm saying. every little bit counts and to ignore this opportunity to slow down the russian war machine is to ignore an opportunity to make a better future a little bit more possible. sanctions and boycotts are not instant wins or silver bullets. i am not trying to imply this at all. just that the company set up an office to do business in north america. that's something the company wants to do. we can block them from that if they continue to aid russia. that's all i am saying, not any of what you say i'm saying
