So, are they terrorists you say?
Well, then.
Classify them as such.
=> Any funding of them is now funding of terrorism. Including paying tax in Russia. Which means any and all companies doing business in and with Russia, and the individuals working in and for those companies now have to immediately stop, or else face jail... right?
Seems like it could be super effective way of halting Russia?
cf classification of Iranian's Revoutionary Guard as a terrorist org: https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2023/01/23/eu-faces-growing-calls-to-label-irans-revolutionary-guard-as-a-terrorist-group https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2023/01/23/eu-faces-growi...
- yakshaving_jgt 3y agoYes, the russians are absolutely terrorists, and should be classified as such. The European parliament have declared them as such, which is a start.
- Torkel 3y agoYeah - that seems to be about Russia being a state sponsor of terrorism (e.g. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20221118IPR55707/european-parliament-declares-russia-to-be-a-state-sponsor-of-terrorism https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20221118IP...) But what I would like to see is a situation where companies paying tax to Russia are seen as sponsoring terrorism. It would have insane reprecussions?
- sam_lowry_ 3y agoLike AB InBev, Danone, Auchan, Leroy Merlin, Decathlon (last three owned by the same French family, mind you).
- Torkel 3y agoThe list is INSANELY long. Most multinationals seem to be operating on a "business as usual" principle in Russia. If they all risk jail time, things will be different. Also consider that any purchases of anything from Russia would now also be classified as sponsoring terrorism. So no more Gasprom gas :P
