Russia has Become a Global Pariah
Since February 24th when Russian Forces crossed the Ukrainian border and began their invasion, more than 200 major companies have decided to suspend operations in Russia. These are big name companies such as Microsoft, Mastercard, McDonald's, Netflix, Nike and even Lego. Russian athletes have also been banned from many major sporting organizations and events. This along with the crippling economic sanctions let loose on Russia, like the recent decision by the U.S. to ban the importation of Russian energy products such as oil, makes Putin's country truly a total outcast.
