"Russian-based companies make up about half of the 61 entities added to the EU's list Monday. In addition to the 19 Chinese companies, it also added nine from Turkey, two in Kyrgyzstan, one in India, one in Kazakhstan, and one in the United Arab Emirates.
That would be great if economies would chip in. Idk, USA, EU has some plans iirc, Saudi, Chinese , India etc.
And the Billionaires worldwide as well , they pack a wallet the size of some countries.
The banks were among the guarantor lenders under a contract for the construction of a gas processing plant in Russia with Germany's Linde, which was terminated due to Western sanctions.

I would have expected that too. Always seemed a good sustainable additional solution to me.
100%. Its a classic divide & conquer strategy, albeit that the technology has changed over the centuries, and the methodology (hybrid) has become more finetuned. I mean, objectivelly and strategically it's how the world has been working forever: " in war and love there are no rules", it is said.
On the otherhand, how the world has been working forever, is exactly the whole issue. Speaking for European (or worldcitizens) we really hate wars and catastrophic results, so we'd like to move away from the old world, towards a more balanced world with more equal partnership; ideally.
It's impossible to move to that point, when your supposed partners apperantly don't have the same wish ( Ruzz Mir for example, isn't peace). At the end of the day I perceive this as a clash between systems, democracies & authoracies.And, even this comparance may be too simplified. I hope and trust, we can find a proportionate and adequate response to these negative developments and actions.
Also it should be a joint responsibility between all the citizens from the whole world ( if your country is fucking up, try to do something if possible, stay safe ofc). Instead, as it appears now, we have just some head of states deciding everything for billions.
Kinda of like a modernised slogan from yesteryear," citizens over the World Unite; against idiotic head of states! " thing. Wouldn't that be something . Cheesy John Lenon shit. Yet maybe he's right; because here we are in this mess.
I'm sure there are plenty of unique factors
Correct. it's a very complex situation, which nobody wanted, yet here we are. And politically and judicial, both on regional, national and European level, there is no known simple solution.
What really triggered this mess was a court ruling regarding an environmental N0 ( nitro oxygen?) and a Co2 and smallparticle emission report not very long ago. That ruling gridlocked everything.
Here a more up2date versionlink dec 2023. If you have better info, please feel free to post your own findings, that would be very constructive.
is trying to destabilize multiple western countries
Yes, and has been trying for many years, so we learn now. But it seems getting a lot worse of late.
