After Microsoft, that’s both of the worlds two largest software companies now pulling out of Russia. Their economy is really starting down the barrel.

The economic coup de grace would be meaningful sanctions on the Russian energy sector. However that would involve some EU countries - unwilling to actually fight with Ukraine - at least accepting some economic hardship themselves, to completely snooker Russia. Doubt they’d be willing to do it when push comes to shove.

That's on the cards but the logistics are immense its inevitable if this continues. or if Russia 'wins'.
