I don’t think that’s true. Otherwise, Mastercard/Visa/Paypal wouldn’t have waited this long. I think Russia is being ‘canceled’. They have become toxic to companies. It’s PR related, not because of government orders.

Two things. Dealing with Russia is now problematic for top level corporate management and attention of top level management is always a scarce resource. General rule products and customers that require too much of it for the profits generated get the axe. Russia is about to get a lot poorer. So any business you have with Russia is going to shrink.

> I think Russia is being ‘canceled’. Jesus this term really has lost all meaning at this point, hasn't it.

  No, I think it clarifies the meaning quite substantially. Behave outside of the bounds of accepted civilized discourse, get 'canceled'.

  No, it's the exact same meaning as when it happens to a person. What vkou said. https://twitter.com/ConallLaverty/status/1499414982429224974 https://twitter.com/ConallLaverty/status/1499414982429224974 Almost none of these companies left because of sanctions, they left voluntary. Companies could still get paid without swift access if they wanted to, that's not the issue. Doing business in Russia has become toxic. It's a race to get out.
