- big-green-man 2y agoSovereignty isn't fungible. India's ability to coerce worldwide is significantly higher than Russia's right now.

- okasaki 2y agoBut when the US government orders a Taiwanese company to stop selling chips to a Chinese company that's just fine right?
- chx 2y agoThey don't quite do that. You will notice they only order US companies to do so. ASML, however, abides by U.S. export control regulations because that was a requirement for the approval of the acquisition of SVG. Everything flows from there.
- big-green-man 2y agoIt can't end. Each sovereign entity is unique, and they interact in an anarchy. There's no way to get kings to treat Moldova the way they treat the united States.
- 0x457 2y agoWell, yes, they can. Just because some court ruling tells you to do something doesn't magically makes you do it. You have a choice to ignore that rulling and (maybe) face consequences: - fine(s) - arrest(s) - asset confiscation If WMF has no physical presence in Russia - there is no way to enforce this ruling and can be "ignored".
