    BTW one company that has not stopped its services in Russia yet - McDonalds.

    It needs to be pressured into quitting Russia. McD's entrance into Russian market was a huge symbolic thing and its exit will be as well.

    No, actually there are not. So what is your point.

    My point is that there are people in every country of the world, including many in Russia, who are reviled by Putin's lies about the Ukrainian government, his lies to the Russian People and to Russian Army conscripts about his unprovoked invasion of a sovereign nation and his slaughter of the people of that nation. This is why the sanctions placed on Russia have been so severe and so deserved...

    utter nonsense. Get a Grip on realty. Why would one more nation on Russia's border make any difference? It wouldn't, other than preventing him from invading that nation if that is what he had planned all along!!! Regardless of what Putin says -- he's a horrible liar of course --- why not read read Putin's own justification, in his own words, for invading Ukraine and freeing Ukrainians from their corrupt government of "Nazis, and drug addicts"? The Ukrainians had requested to join NATO, but the NATO nations turned Ukraine down. (Are you familiar with the Minsk Accords?) If Putin did not want more NATO nations on his doorstep, then invading his non-NATO neighbor is not the way to prevent neighboring nations from joining NATO. It is likely to have the opposite effect. Finland and Sweden may be next to join, thanks to Putin..

  5. USA have been conducting unprovoked military invasions for the past 20 years? Didn't see the world stop trading with them.

    Singapore sanctions Russia in an unprecedented move. Sanctions are on exports and on Russian banks.

    BBC and CBC also pulled out their journalists out of Russia.

    Russian factories start closing due to sanctions. Renault-Nissan built plant just closed because of lack of part. So did the Avtotor factory that produced BMWs.

    Yandex warned its workers that they may be going bankrupt.
