Sanctions

[scouser]

The latest sanctions are some luxury goods going into Russia, and a levy on Russian vodka coming out, if you want sanctions to work,it should be NOTHING in and NOTHING out.

Contract i worked on was cancelled as it was a Russian thing, but apparently it was only "paused due to part shortages"

Wrong.  Targeted sanctions are much more likely to be effective than blanket ones, and as a bonus, collateral damage is reduced.

In this case, Putin’s inner circle not being able to get Prada handbags will, likely, have more of an effect than stopping ordinary Russians from buying, say, a washing machine.
