To be honest: What does this endless list of sanctions actually achieve in terms of ending the war, now? Sadly, it does more look like a luxurious decadent virtue-signalling circus from the viewpoint of India, Brazil or China. ... Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Netflix, Facebook ... to the point of rendering this a joke: Oh, actually, how good for them! The hard problem no one is trying to tackle is having the actual balls to start peace negotiations, like forcing a main player like China to the table: Look, here are our nukes, now, let us sit and cease fire for the moment: What is that you (Putin) want, again? Even if Putin is totally mad (unlikely), at least we assume the Chinese, or the Rest of the non-sanctioning World are more or less rational actors? So where is the cold-blooded intellgentia of diplomacy in the West? Our Eastern counterparts are way ahead of the curve continuously refining their cost-benefit-analysis, game theoretical approach, engineering mindset, being careful not hurting themselves economically in the long-run. Like for a short-lived higher moral standing (with some "miscalculated" wars on our own meant to be "policing" but appearing imperialistic for a considerable part of the world). Coca-Cola sanctions ain't it.
