I'm happy that the country I'm living in stopped selling to them earlier this year.
That said, if one should steelman (as we are kind of expected to do to each other here) the goverments that hasn't done it yet, -here is some rebar IMO:
boycotting them as hard as we should have done might drive them straight into the arms of Russia and China which would probably love to sell some weapons and get a new ally.
I'd love to see that argument torn down as well though.
