Multinationals flee Russia, punishing Moscow
Biden to champion US diplomacy in State of the Union as West stands up to Putin
GOP senators push back hard on Trump's praise of Putin
SENATE
Large multinational companies are fleeing Russia, joining a large swath of the international community in moving to isolate the nation in response to its brutal invasion of Ukraine.
Oil and gas giants BP and Shell announced they are leaving Russia after spending decades making investments worth billions of dollars in the country, while several U.S. companies are halting all shipments to Russia.
The exodus is expected to continue as more businesses weigh the reputational and financial risks of doing business with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Experts say that if energy firms are willing to forfeit huge sums by pulling out of Russia, industries with much less to lose will soon follow suit.
“I think corporate executives, in addition to considering political risk, are genuinely outraged by what Russia has done,” said Bill Reinsch, the Scholl chair in international business at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, adding that he is surprised by just how quickly companies have made the call to leave Russia.
These decisions are driven in part by enormous public pressure to disown the Russian government and also by the sweeping sanctions imposed by the U.S. and its allies that severely complicate companies’ ability to do business with Russian entities.
Shell on Monday said that it will abandon stakes in Russian state-owned energy projects that are worth roughly $3 billion. The Dutch company noted that the move will hurt the value of its assets and “lead to impairments.”
"We are shocked by the loss of life in Ukraine, which we deplore, resulting from a senseless act of military aggression which threatens European security," Shell CEO Ben van Beurden said in a statement.
That announcement came after BP, a longtime defender of Putin, said it would desert its 20 percent stake in Russian state-owned energy firm Rosneft. The move could cost BP as much as $25 billion if the oil giant is forced to write off the investment, as selling it could prove difficult under strict sanctions.
“Russia’s attack on Ukraine is an act of aggression which is having tragic consequences across the region,” BP Chairman Helge Lund said in a statement. “BP has operated in Russia for over 30 years, working with brilliant Russian colleagues. However, this military action represents a fundamental change.”
As Russia escalates its attacks on Ukraine, it’s becoming increasingly isolated from the rest of the world. American shipping companies FedEx and UPS said they would temporarily suspend all shipments to both countries, while Germany’s DHL said it would pause some services to Russia and Ukraine, citing security concerns.
Ocean carrier Maersk said Monday that it might suspend shipments to and from Russia, a move that would further cut the nation off from international trade. The Danish shipping giant said that it was monitoring the security situation in Ukraine and “preparing to comply with the ever-evolving sanctions and restrictions imposed against Russia.”
Companies that haven’t fled are likely evaluating how to navigate complex sanctions and exploring whether continuing business with Russia is worth the regulatory challenges.
In response to the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine, the U.S. and its allies froze roughly $630 billion in Russian central bank assets being held abroad, blocked fundraising for Russian state-owned entities and cut some Russian banks out of the SWIFT international payments system. The U.S. blocked Russian state-owned banks from accessing the U.S. dollar and imposed export controls that prevent Russia from obtaining computer chips and other technologies.
In just a matter of days, the sanctions have

These sanctions are going to last long after they are lifted. Russia will never be the same. Most who will suffer have nothing to do with Putins' decisions yet without sanctions of this magnitude war is the only option left. It may come to that yet. Putin cannot be allowed to march through Europe. There are no winners here. Only those who will suffer because a mad man is running Russia.

Putin can no longer compete with China on any level so he will be treated by China like he treats other lesser countries. Man has Russia fallen into despair and dysfunction. And man is it going to suck for Putin being told instead of doing the telling. China is telling Putin to come to us my pretty and he is, he is crawling to them.

I see you going back and forth with Jack throughout these threads. The ignorant fool doesn’t realize he is an anarchist. He doesn’t believe in anything that would help a society to develop and thrive. It is left to others to do so despite him.
He believes, or thinks he believes in the organization of society on the basis of voluntary cooperation. A society without political institutions or hierarchical government. He is clueless to what keeps our society running to the extent it does. It is the institutions he criticizes that allow for his very existence.
There are many places on the planet where he could live out his beliefs. Places where governments cannot easily reach him but he is a coward so he’d never go. What that means is he will never live according to his delusional anti-social convictions. He will continue living in a box void of the skills needed to thrive himself in a society that works for a better good.

Italy seizes oligarchs' villas and yachts in initial swoop
ROME (Reuters) -Italian police have seized villas and yachts worth at least 140 million euros ($153 million) from four high-profile Russians who were placed on an EU sanctions list following Moscow's attack on Ukraine, sources said on Saturday.
A police source said a villa owned by billionaire businessman Alisher Usmanov on the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, and a villa on Lake Como owned by state TV host Vladimir Soloviev, had both been seized.
In addition, sources confirmed that yachts belonging to Russia's richest man, Alexey Mordashov, and Gennady Timchenko, who has close tied with Russian President Vladimir Putin, were impounded overnight in northern Italian ports. [L5N2V75YZ]
Russian oligarchs are believed to have bought numerous villas in choice Italian locations over the past 20 years and sources said more assets were expected to be seized in coming days as Western states implement massive sanctions to try to force Russia to withdraw from Ukraine.

Opposition leader Boris Nemtsov was shot dead yards from the Kremlin after writing an op-ed about the Russian incursion into Ukraine, published in September 2014 in Russian and Ukrainian, in which he said, among other things,
This is not our war, this is not your war, this is not the war of 20-year-old paratroopers sent out there. This is Vladimir Putin’s war… Through his bloody actions, though he is fomenting a fratricidal war, one can see his main goal – preservation of personal power and money at any cost….
Despite censorship, little by little the society started to understand that those in power are greedy and amoral people whose main goal is personal enrichment.
Ukraine became an example of an anti-criminal revolution, which overthrew a thieving president. Oh, so you dared to get out onto the street and throw off a president? Ukraine needs to be punished for it to make sure that no Russian would get these thoughts.
Moreover, Ukraine chose the European way, which implies the rule of law, democracy and change of power. Ukraine’s success on this way is a direct threat to Putin’s power because he chose the opposite course – a lifetime in power, filled with arbitrariness and corruption.

“We believe it’s a matter of when and not if this happens as Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Oracle head down this path,” Dan Ives, analyst with Wedbush, told GeekWire. “With the atrocities seen, tech firms have a clear moral choice as they pull the plug on Russia.”

Expel Russia from the WTO
To have maximum impact, the rapidly emerging separate and individual actions by NATO countries to add trade sanctions to the accumulation of other economic sanctions punishing the government of Russia for its invasion of Ukraine must be broadened. They must include multilateral action to kick Russian President Vladimir Putin and his kleptocratic government out of the World Trade Organization (WTO).

Watching all this unfold one can't help wonder. How many decades will it take Russia to recover? The world is going to put Ukraine back on its feet rather quickly. But Russia, I believe business will not want to risk reinvesting in Russia.
Think about it. Why would people want to invest in a third world country? A country where no one has two nickels to rub together. We already know they don't so I'd say Russia is really really fucked.

Russian 'brain drain' of academic, finance, and tech workers 'might be the most important problem' for its economy, experts say
Economists say more educated, middle-class Russians are likely to leave over Western sanctions.
They've been leaving for years, and their exodus will likely hurt the country's economy.
One economist says Russia may resemble Iran, whose economy has been crippled by sanctions.
It's not a question of whether people want to leave Russia, Oleg Itskhoki, an economics professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, told Insider. It's a matter of when they will — and whether they can.

They know everything you watch. Once people had coaxial cable in their homes, they always did.
You didn't think that it was Magic when they were somehow able to use that same cable they laid out to homes in the early 80's to allow for broadband internet with download AS WELL AS upload speeds that have continued to increase into the 2020's and will continue to increase, did you?
If I'm able to upload at 1mbps right now on the cheapest tier internet speed using nothing more than coaxial cable that was put into this house in the early 80's, how difficult do you think it would have been for them to pull the tiny amount of data from your cable box as to what was being watched in your house all month?
Neilson ratings haven't actually meant anything for nearly 4 decades. They just served two purposes.
1. It's a nice sounding name that everybody in America has heard of.
2. It camouflaged the fact that our TV viewing habits were already being spied on back when people seemed to care about their privacy.
This is a story that nobody ever talks about. But I'm sure some day they'll tell us about it, and at this point nobody would even care.
And if people are watching on their internet or phones, forget about it. Google and Microsoft know every fucking keystroke I make on my computer.

I will let you in on a little secret that Americans seem to not understand when heaping praise on the brave troops: killing Russian soldiers is not hurting Putin and firebombing German citizens did not hurt Hitler and nuking Nagasaki did not hurt the Japanese Emperor. Just in case you missed the point, 6ix, a war is not possible that aims all the violence at only the enemy leader. The troops aren't as precise as James Bond, 007, when on attack. And when the attackers fight from their keyboards, things are much less precise compared to when aiming a sniper rifle at someone's head.

History doesn’t repeat itself. It just tries to remember an old song it heard once. It may be that Putin’s 24 February 2022 will turn out to be like Hitler’s 22 June 1941 – the day he invaded Russia, doomed himself and Germany to destruction and made inevitable a divided Europe whose Cold War and barbed wire would last for half a century. But Putin isn’t Hitler. He will die a disappointed old nuisance in exile somewhere, rather than by Heldentod ("hero’s death") suicide in his bunker. Both men qualify as psychopathic dictators, swaddled from reality in fantasies of geopolitical revenge. But Putin’s grip on the Russian imagination is weaker than Hitler’s on the Germans. And his use of police terror against his own people, though horrifying, is distinctly less effective.
All the same, historian Margaret MacMillan sees one desperately important parallel. Both men have meant what they said. And in both cases they were not taken seriously until it was too late. Hitler raved on in public about getting rid of the Jews and conquering Lebensraum in eastern Europe. But the “other Hitler”, in private, could sometimes talk quite charmingly and constructively about possible agreements. Obviously, foreign visitors concluded, the public stuff was just for show while the “serious” Hitler was revealing his real mind. Diametrically wrong! The crazy speeches gave his true intentions; the sober reflections over coffee were all lies. With Putin, the west wrote off his increasingly wild talk about breaking Nato’s encirclement and restoring Russia’s dominion over post-Soviet space. He couldn’t be serious. Under the bluster, wasn’t there still that shrewd, cautious Putin with whom one could do business? But Ukraine proves the opposite. The imperial dream is what he means. The meetings with western leaders across that long table, hinting at terms for a bargain, were all fake.

6ix, you told me a thousand times that you're crazy, and just because you can be polite and reasonable once in a while, underneath the good manners the real you is stark raving mad. Remember writing Trump will be fine? Anybody who wants that for Trump is as untrustworthy and dishonorable as he is. Democrats are cancer? You are not right in the head, 6ix. Nobody dies of Covid? How did you get this way, 6ix?

Former Astronaut Scott Kelly Tells Russian Space Chief Dmitry Rogozin to Find McDonald's Job
Former NASA astronaut Scott Kelly has publicly clashed with Dmitry Rogozin, director of Russia's Roscosmos space agency, on Twitter, with Kelly implying that Russia could soon have no space industry at all without international cooperation.
The hostile exchange was sparked by a March 2 tweet by Rogozin which included footage of Roscosmos staff apparently stripping a Russian rocket of international flag decals.
"The launchers at Baikonur decided that without the flags of some countries, our rocket would look more beautiful," Rogozin wrote.

It's too much of a PITA to provide links for everything, but bc Russia and Ukraine are major exporters of wheat, traders expect the price of wheat to rise considerably. Analysts are concerned there will be another "Arab Spring" due to rising wheat prices in the MENA.
And since corn depends heavily on fertilizer, and fertilizer is made from natural gas, I expect the price of fetilizer and subsequently the price of corn to rise.
Food prices, like fuel prices, are expected to rise.

107 Companies That Have Pulled Out of Russia
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has turned into the largest ground war on European soil since World War II. And along with causing immense loss of human life and destruction across many of Ukraine’s cities, it is roiling the global economic landscape – and causing many of the world’s largest companies to pull out of Russia as the country increasingly becomes a global pariah.
The economic fallout from this conflict is wide-ranging, in part because of both countries’ importance to the commodity markets. Ukraine and Russia are both global leaders in production of food commodities, including wheat and sunflower oil. Russia is also the world’s No. 3 oil producer, behind only the United States and Saudi Arabia. And Russia dominates the European energy market, as its largest supplier of natural gas, which is used for home heating and power generation.
5 Superb Stocks to Shield Against Stagflation
But another wrinkle has developed: American and international corporations alike are taking note of the global revulsion against Russia’s actions, and many have taken measures to stop doing business in the country. Their actions range from limiting access to services to pulling out of Russia altogether.
We’ll take a quick look at some of the biggest companies to distance themselves from Russia, then provide a table listing all the notable companies that have so far announced they will limit or halt their Russian operations.
Note: Changes are happening quickly, and we’re seeing a pattern of companies announcing relatively minor penalties followed by larger initiatives as the invasion continues.
Apple
The world’s most valuable publicly traded company announced on March 1 that it was freezing its business in Russia.
Apple (AAPL) had halted exports to Russia and limited Apple Pay service the previous week, after the U.S. government announced sanctions against Russian banks. But starting March 1, Apple expanded its measures, including halting sales of all products to Russia through the online Apple Store and restricting Russian news outlet apps to use only within Russia.
Netflix
Netflix (NFLX) is a prime example of how quickly the situation is evolving.
How Could the Russia-Ukraine Conflict Affect Your Investments?
When I started writing this article, Netflix was taking a cautious approach, putting a hold on future projects and acquisitions from Russia. By the time the article was finished, several hours later, Netflix announced it had suspended service in Russia altogether.
No streaming, Russian series that were in production have been halted. And the state-run channels the company was required to carry by the government are offline.
Shell
Energy companies have been among the most noteworthy firms taking measures against Russia.
On March 1, the multinational oil and gas giant Shell (SHEL) said it would exit all Russian operations – a permanent move, as opposed to a pause in operations. This includes abandoning Shell’s 27.5% stake in the flagship Sakhalin 2 liquid natural gas (LNG) plant. That plant produced 11.5 million tonnes of LNG annually that was exported to Asian markets including China. Shell also is pulling out of the Nord Stream 2 Baltic gas pipeline, which connects Russia to Germany, and exiting the Salym Petroleum Development, a joint venture with Russia’s Gazprom (OGZPY).
According to Reuters, Abandoning the Russian market could cost Shell around $3 billion. And the Sakhalin 2 and Salym ventures contributed $700 million to Shell’s net earnings in 2021.

‘No better than North Korea’: Russian aviation faces wipeout
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has resulted in its airlines being banned from European, American and Canadian airspace, left the country with leased aircraft it cannot use, and scuttled aerospace industry partnerships with the West.
Russian citizens won’t be flying to Europe or North America anytime soon, with even flights to friendly countries such as China in doubt due to the international community’s ostracisation of the country’s aviation sector, according to aviation analysts.
“Russia will be the world’s largest country with a developed economy and an aviation industry no better than North Korea’s,” Richard Aboulafia, managing director of Michigan-based AeroDynamic Advisory, told Al Jazeera.

No, the point others responding to your posts should always be, not about gas prices, or other issues you chose to hide behind, but instead, why you continue to support someone who for years ‘intentionally’ bombed women and children in every conflict he has created. Bombed and even gassed hospitals, schools and committed all manner of war crimes for decades now. This is the point all should take up with you when responding to your posting at this site.

Your claim the Ukrainians are bombing themselves is disgusting. Biden said to Putin I’ve looked into your eyes and I see you have no soul. Based on what you’ve posted over the years including today, I’ve seen what you stand for. It’s obvious you exist without a soul as well. At least Putin admitted it, coward.
Your first sentence in the above post shows you to be lying so that is the point. Therefore the rest of what you post is not worth giving consideration to, but I will say this. Whataboutism, and what happened in the past cannot be used to justify what is happening today. That is of course unless you would argue that two wrongs make a right. You always try and fail to do that, while unsuccessfully attempting to shift the blame for atrocities committed by the Russians, to in this case the victims. Again, totally disgusting.
The whole time I have been posting at firefly fans I’ve said you were a Russian propagandist. No doubt about it now aye Polish Russian Collaborator signym?

McDonald’s has also temporarily closed 108 restaurants in Ukraine and is still paying the salaries of its nearly 10,000 Ukrainian employees. It donated $5 million to its employee assistance fund and is supporting local relief efforts led by the International Red Cross.
Chicago-based McDonald’s said in recent regulatory filings that its restaurants in Russia and Ukraine contributed about 2% of sales and about 9% of its annual revenue, or about $2 billion.
McDonald’s owns 84% of its restaurants in Russia and all of its locations in Ukraine.

Samuel Ramani @SamRamani2 tweeted:
I completed my doctoral thesis at Oxford last year on Russia's military interventions in Ukraine and Syria. Based on that research, I am sharing some thoughts on why Russia invaded Ukraine and what Putin might do next /1
Russian military interventions are often explained by geopolitical opportunism or regime insecurity
It is intriguing that Russia would invade Ukraine when its great power status was rising and there was no immediate threat to Putin's regime /2
Geopolitical opportunism has been chronically overplayed. Russia's annexation of Crimea and Black Sea foothold was not rationally worth the cost of Western sanctions. Even in Syria, Russia embarked on a potentially high-risk, uncertain reward mission that ended up succeeding /3
Regime insecurity has also been exaggerated as a driver of Russian aggression.
The 2011-12 protests might have influenced Russian alarmism about Euro-Maidan and the Arab Spring, but there was no serious threat of unrest diffusing from Kyiv and Cairo to Moscow /4
Putin has instead used military interventions as a tool of legacy-building and identity construction. He is focused on the long-term legitimacy of his regime and Russia's political system. Hence, he is willing to take excessive short-term risks and incur geopolitical costs /5
Putin's legacy hinges on satisfying domestic great power status aspirations
This means having a sphere of influence, effectively challenging the US-led legal order, and having a superpower-style global reach
The image of greatness matters even if Russia is actually isolated /6
Putin has also deftly framed his military interventions as a triumph against long-standing perceived internal threats
Fascism, uncontrolled unrest, Western expansionism, Islamic extremism- these narratives date back to Hungary 1956, and endured through the Soviet collapse /7
Putin has also effectively rationalized the costs of military interventions to the Russian people
Highlighting Russia's capacity for self-sacrifice as a contrast to perceived Western decadence is crucial. Hence the continuous World War II Great Patriotic War references /8
The war in Ukraine allows Putin to showcase Moscow's control over its sphere of influence, willingness to combat socially accepted threats and feeds into popular conceptions of "Russian strength"
It is an identity construction and authoritarian consolidation project /9
There are two differences between Russia's current and past actions:
The first is the extent of Russia's willingness to take risks in support of these goals
The second is Putin's reading of public opinion - he is appealing to a core base rather than the public writ large /10
Putin's conduct suggests that he will continue the war in Ukraine until he achieves a success that he can frame as a legacy or identity construction win
Given his framing of the war, that likely means he will continue pursuing regime change, but not necessarily an occupation /11
Given this calculus, sanctions are unlikely to deter Putin, and diplomacy is unlikely to change his mind
Only an intra-elite schism, which poses an immediate threat to his regime, might cause him to recalibrate, and even then, most likely only temporarily /12

I'm guessing SIGS didn't get enough attention from her family growing up OR she gets paid by the number of replies her posts get. Or both.
What else is there to say? Putin has made one of the most hated and epic misjudgments in recent memory. 100 years? For a guy that wanted to restore Russian glory he sure has screwed the pooch.

THUGR: Your claim the Ukrainians are bombing themselves is disgusting.
The fact that Ukies are shelling and mining Ukies IS disgusting. Nonetheless, it's true. It's not ME that says so, but OSCE, UN, and UK which BTW have a pro-western bias and undercounts deaths on the DPR/LPR side. But even tho OSCE etc undercount DPR/LPR death, nonetheless most deaths occur on the DPR/LPRr side, meaning that Kiev is mainly responsible for killing more civilians.

Trump has changed his tune as scenes of war and death in Ukraine at the hands of Russia have played out for the world to see on television.
In recent days, he said that the war would never have happened if he were still president and even called for the U.S. to attack Russia but make it look like it was actually China — by flying American planes with a Chinese flag on the side.
"And then we say, 'China did it,' " Trump told Republican donors Saturday in New Orleans, according to a recording obtained by The Washington Post. " 'We didn't do it — China did it,' and then they start fighting with each other and we sit back and watch."
It's the kind of simple-sounding amateur solution that Trump has floated throughout his political life.
Trump's former vice president, Mike Pence, reportedly took an oblique shot at Trump in a speech before GOP donors Friday.
"There is no room in this party for apologists for Putin," Pence said. "There is only room for champions of freedom."
He also praised NATO, which Trump has continuously criticized.
"Where would our friends in Eastern Europe be today if they were not in NATO?" Pence said. "Where would Russian tanks be today if NATO had not expanded the borders of freedom?"
The problem, Madden says, is that this kind of message isn't being delivered repeatedly across the Republican Party and done so explicitly.
"That's one of the things about any sort of counterpoints for Trump within the Republican Party right now is those efforts have never really been broad," Madden said. "They've never really been sustained. They've never been methodical. They've always just been glancing blows. And that's why he still has such a strong command over the party apparatus."

The people who really cause harm in world are those brain-damaged Trump voters and Putin voters. They should be fired for the dumb stuff they do every fucking day at work, but where I live, the landscape is overrun with these dimwits who think they're smart. If I need hands, it's gonna be their fumbling fingers. Too bad those hands don't bring their brains to work or when they vote. Sure would make America and Russia run smoother, and their lives more prosperous, if they'd use the brains they've got rather knocking themselves into a stupor with too much alcohol and TV.

Where would we be without your lies?
This was never about anything as goofy as "former glory", and only dumb fuck or a liar would spin it that way. Various Russian officials - not just Putin- have been saying for YEARS that it's about military security. That's why I posted Putin's 2007 speech. He said so then and has been saying the same ever since.
The fact that there were bioweapons labs in Ukraine, set up by our DoD, of course has nothing to do with it *wink*
And if you think that's disinfo, why is NULAND "worried about" Russians getting their hands on those "research materials (if they "don't exist")"?

The buildings that were targeted are NOT houses or schools or apartments, and DEFINITELY not hospitals.
They are large, single story flat-roofed commercial buildings. one looks like a warehouse.
If you look at the paking lots, they are EMPTY. Clearly not being used for their intended purpose. Thanks to the cloud cover which looks like drifting smoke (but isn't) and the fact that the photos were clearly taken in winter when everything looks brown, it looks like there is extensive damage (but there isn't).
