1/ for folks hit by OFAC sanctions business has gotten very hard. Even fnon-US businesses have to think if they aren’t inadvertently falling foul with US; as that analysis costs money, it may be cheaper to drop the business altogether.

2/ but you have to at least understand US logic: Russia is waging an aggressive cyber campaign against US. Apart from retaliating the same way, sanctions are an appropriate instrument.

US has concluded that Russian executive power can compel anyone to do their bidding “or else” (lose company, be hurt). In that environment protests of individual businesses mean little as they cannot be in Russia and stand up to he state #sanctions #erpscan #embedi #kaspersky
4/ so yes, @erpscan , @kaspersky and @_embedi_ are hit for “being Russian” because they had a financial, indirect relationship to FSB and community’s heart goes out to them, but they can’t not see the logic of US govt #sanctions #erpscan #embedi #kaspersky
