Hitler said he wanted peace as Germany invaded Rhineland, Austria, Sudetenland, Poland, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, and France
Russia says they want peace as long as they take the annexed regions in Ukraine
The following companies still openly do business inside sanctioned Russia:
Kia, Nestle, Unilever, InBev, Komatsu, Claas Group, Hyatt, Mitsubishi, Westinghouse, Avon, Makita, Braun, Pioneer, Mansour Group, Mary Kay, Big Dutchman, L'Occitane, Sun Chemical, Toyo Tires, Gucci, Brother, Yamaha, Fletcher Hotels
@flexghost JFC, what are we doing by NOT going after these companies? I don't get it. We don't enforce sanctions in the U.S.?
@TomWellborn
Some of those companies are MLMs. Maybe that complicates enforcement?
Many of the others are based outside of the US IIRC...which AFAIK could complicate things as well.

@TomWellborn @flexghost
I found a survey of company activities in Russia. A *lot* of the ones still there are not US-based.

Based on the handful of MLMs in this article it sounds like many of those still have paying suckers ... I mean representatives selling their stuff there.

@mathlover @TomWellborn the second list is from august or did I read that incorrectly?
@flexghost @TomWellborn Yes. I just cited it because of the bit about Tupperware (a known MLM) and thought that was relevant.
The first list is much more up-to-date
@mathlover @TomWellborn Thank you
