What a giant waste time and effort. I'm sure Western leaders and CEOs knew this would happen but couldn't pass up the chance to virtue signal.

It's not just tech imports either, Russia is having no problem making money from energy exports. Sanctions never work.

On the other hand sanctions froze over $300 billion in Russian reserves Putin moronically left in Western banks after invading Ukraine. That amounted to around 20% of a year's GDP for Russia (our equivalent would be $4.6 trillion).

Who is buying their energy? Can't be Europe. They are supporting Ukraine.
