What's new? Why are we all pretend acting as if corporates finding and exploiting loopholes is something new? Or that some loopholes are deliberately introduced by the government on behest of some corporate lobbying? While western propaganda may hype about all the crippling sanctions against Russia, and Russian propaganda might to try to reassure everyone that the sanctions do not hurt because of the counter measures they have taken, the political reality in between is that Europe does not currently want Russia as a failed state next door. It is simply not prepared right now to deal with the repercussions. And the US also knows that sanctions cannot achieve their full goals of totally crippling the Russian economy while Russia has support from China and India and other smaller emerging economies. If the US sanctions China and India, as they are legally required to, it would lead to the consolidation of the world's largest market (China and India) with Russia. That is something that both Russia and China really want (something like BRICS, but not just on paper) but what US & Europe do fear.
