In other words, become thieves.
No. Most contracts have exceptions for the force majeure of government actions beyond the businesses control.
Besides, we're talking about Gene Haas here for christ sakes. You think this would be the first time a contract hasn't canceled in his favor and he wound up with the cash, but not shipping product? Gene Haas makes Donald Trump look like Jack Welch when it comes to running a business above-board; the things he has done have been notorious and he's a felon for life.
This is exactly what I was referring to as American stupidity.
These "sanctions" are not and never will be global. The US does not control the world. Therefore, all they do is redirect transactions.
Brentton Woods baby. We
do control the world. You wanna do global busines? Do you conduct that business in RMB or Pounds Sterling? No... you do that business in American dollars, because we control the world's currency.
You wanna ship anything across the ocean blue? You do so under the loving protection of the US Navy.
You think America is just a bunch of dumb yokles? We have our moments, but we certainly are looking like the best of the worst over the last few years. You wanna live under Honey Bear Jinping? You can kiss my ass with the notion that we're somehow extra savage - the this guy runs a country with a few million people in concentration camps and they have execution busses.
We are the least worst option for global leadership, and we are withdrawing. You don't like us? That's fine... but you're about to watch the world get really fair, really quickly. It's going to be a disaster.
These moron actions by games-players in Washington are fine for them,
I'm no fan of Biden, but we're basically defeating the world's 3rd largest military, a near-peer adversary for the last 60 years, and doing so for probably about $200 Billion when all is said and done, and not a drop of American blood spilt.
You want to talk about governments making poor decisions for their people? America is a place of decadence where sure, like 15% of our citizens live in poverty - you know, in houses, with cell phones, TVs, internet, running water, electricity, and so much food, obesity is a far bigger problem than starvation. Out of the 7 Billion people on this planet, about 6 Billion of them would literally kill to be a "poor" person in America being taken such terrible advantage of by our government.
Putin, on the other hand, has taken a country in the stages of a catastrophic demographic collapse, and decided to throw 20% of his population under the age of 30 into a meat grinder to be chewed up by NATO proxy forces. For what? Absolutely nothing. Again, please shove this notion that America is somehow just terrible to it's people when you've got Putin literally acceleration his demographic catastrophe with no upside. 50% of that remaining population of young men will die of cirrhosis before the age of 52.
You really shouldn't put that stuff out in public, as your hypocrisy becomes apparent to everyone on the planet. Russsia has about four or five sovereign nations to go before they catch up to the US, and a hell of a lot of war crimes. They better get busy.
Public? You dillusional clod... The videos of Russian atrocities currently being committed are
on video. You can track their movements in real-time and see precisely what they are doing. Jesus christ - put this stuff out in public. Russia's military is such a drunk, corrupt, incompetent bunch of buffoons they haven't even been able to shut down Ukrainian networks - the entire war is there for all to see from original sources.

But the point is, commodity. Cheap. Easily available from non-US-cowered sources. Congress and commerce department are STUPID. NC was an advanced technology fifty years ago, not now. These effing nitwits are playing with fire, they drive people who should be cooperative into being enemies. That's mentally retarded.
