The State Department confirmed that businessmen “still in the United States, the EU and around the world” are still convincing not to do business with the Russian Federation “in the usual way”, reports RIA News.

The State Department confirmed that they continue to convince businessmen not to do business with the Russian Federation


“We continue to make it clear in communicating with US companies that we believe that a return to normal business with Russia carries risks, both economic and reputational,” a State Department spokesman told the agency.

According to him, “this is part of an overall strategy that includes sanctions, restrictive measures and a reduction in diplomatic communication.”

The diplomat said that "these measures are aimed at convincing Russia to comply with the Minsk agreements on Ukraine and to refuse to join the Crimea."

"In addition to the legal assessment that firms must conduct to ensure that they do not violate US sanctions on the situation in Ukraine, it is also important that private companies in the USA, the EU and around the world understand that Russia will remain a high-risk market as long as its actions continue to destabilize Ukraine ",
he concluded.

Earlier, White House officials told American journalists that they were working with "the largest US banks," urging them not to buy Russian bonds.

            Now they do not recommend it, they will ban it tomorrow, then they will punish for cooperation with Russia. It remains only to start screaming HAYL Hitler! And drag tries! Everything is moving towards that, in a democratic way, naturally.

    Judging by the destabilization of Ukraine, it is time to adopt sanctions against the United States. Many are beginning to understand - and therefore have to "convince" for the sanctions at a loss.

    Why are we still buying their treasures? I just can't figure it out. In our country, doing business for three centuries. Build infrastructure and build. We apparently already live richly by someone’s standards. We need to ban the import of certain goods that we ourselves are able to make and ban chemical food. I exaggerate of course.

But, they won’t go anywhere, it’s profitable here, and what the State Department recommends is only recommendations. And in general, Russia has invested 70 lard (5.4 trillion rubles) of American Tugriks in the American Treasury, was it not better to pull them out and invest in own economy? And then they decided to control the oil industry with the cross-eyed ones.

    Mwa ha ha ... but I still remember how in the 90s our liberals with foam at the mouth proved that in the country of elves blessed by Valinor, the state never, ever indicates private companies. what should they do. Like, such interference in any form negatively affects the country's economic development - and therefore is never applied in countries with market economies. laughing

    All these actions are explicit and are not called very simply-WAR. Everything else is verbiage and misleading the enemy. They are fighting with us in full, and we express all our concerns, and call our "partners" for prudence. Severe times require harsh decisions, and not chewing snot. And harsh decisions can only be made by a firm and confident leader ... while we do not have this. And all these dances with truces in Syria and Ukraine speak of the indecision of our authorities, at least.

    For a long time in our media periodically there was information about complaints of businessmen from abroad about the difficulties they encountered in Russia. Say, the difficulties associated with our laws. What changed? How does Russia react? How flexible has my state been in these matters? It is also obvious that no calls to curtail your business in Russia will help if the business is attractive and reliable. If we observe a mass winding down of a foreign business, it will, first of all, be due to the headworm of the Medvedev team. It should be understood that if there weren’t the issue of Crimea, Minsk, Syria, etc., then there would be other reasons for sanctions to appear.

    Well, and these ghouls showed their mug in all its glory, but where is the vaunted democracy? The states turned, without noticing it, into a real political trash. Now, if you ask them what Russia did to them in the long run, they won’t find what to answer, except that Russia, by its power, stopped the states from the very last step in their desire to rule the whole world. That, in fact, is the main reason for their hatred of our country. And since American politicians are not a single, whole thing, that’s why confusion and reeling are going on with them, that’s why they go down to the level of market trading in its worst sense.
