It might well have been, but the fact that the West first sanctioned the Russian oligarchs (even before 2022) showed that they really did believe in that wishcasting, i.e. they really did believe that the oligarchs will react “economically

Saw that, too, but at some point one cannot just stand like sheep in the slaughterhouse, the reaction was to be expected (even though it could have happened in a more civilized way, not via personal-ish attacks, I agree with that). More gen

In a capitalistic society (such as ours) I find what you’re describing close to impossible, at least when it comes to large enough organizations. The profit motive ends up conquering all, and that is by design.
