It's virtue signalling. They know full well their products are going to go into Russia through intermediaries like China. In fact it will probably be quite lucrative business for some finding their way around these sanctions.
In 1965 Rhodesia declared unilateral independence from the British Empire. The British government responded by essentially organising a total economic blockade of this tiny land locked African country and actually it did pretty well for a time. Portugal was quite happy to do business with them and transport goods through Portuguese Mozambique. South Africa was their main ally. Israel, Japan, Taiwan and Korea to some extent all did business with them as well and Rhodesian products found their way all over the place. Rhodesian mines were one of the few sources of Chromium not controlled by the USSR and it was found that the Soviets were purchasing Rhodesian Chromium and then reselling their own substandard Chromium to Western customers despite promising them (on a deniable basis it was Rhodesian Chromium).
This whole thing is an absolute farce. Russia is one of the worlds main resource markets. People need what Russia produces and plenty of countries like China can get away with playing both sides because if the US upsets China to much there won't be fuck all for fat Amerifats to buy in Walmart.
My employer was forced by US sanctions to cease doing business with anyone in Russia. We face stiff penalties under US export laws if we don't comply.
most of these "american" corporations have outsourced their production to china ...
Some of these I think were forced by the Biden regime. One of these with only the companies that fully left Russia would clarify.
a) 90 brands (9); "left the Russian market" in simple gematria equals 245 (11) - 9/11 encoding
b) 2 March 2022 (2+3+2+2+2) also equals 11
c) all these brands in unison aims at the first noahide law (ending idolatry).
Deep state props em up so were stuck with em still
our world has gone full retard.

They have exempted oil purchases, and payments for oil purchases. IMO that means the sanctions are mostly toothless.
