Reply to comment by heavy_highlights in EU slaps sanctions on top Russia officials, banks, trade by BrandYearg525

Sounds like there's more sanctions to be implemented, but it needs to go further up the supply chain.

How? There's nothing in that list that they aren't self sufficient in or can source from China who is more or less at the top of the supply chain

Nothing changes

Iran has been under sanctions for many years - and they are producing drones. And Russia is richer in resources. And not all brains leave.

There will always be an opportunity to somehow and somewhere bring something (I'm talking about the military industry). And the state has money.

A foreign company will not tell a random Ivan - "Hey Ivan, come to work with us, here's your housing for the first year. Here's help for you, better work with us"

So Ivan will go to his job tomorrow and pay his taxes, even if he would very much like to leave.

We’d have to sanction the countries that are supplying Russia, which probably also supply the rest of the world, so we hit an invisible wall. Sanctions are just virtue signaling.
