We are entering the era of cyber-warfare, nation-state counter hacking, software and hardware sabotage, underground black and grey markets for both hardware and software.

We have entered that territory at least 10 years ago.

The rest I agree with. But I also think this is in fact the right move: you need to create pressure that hurts both the leadership and the people.

What would you personally do with that pressure if you lived in Moscow? At best get beaten in a protest.

Believe it or not, even the thugs beating down protests enjoy western luxuries... Or not having 20% inflation.

Plus, enforcing your government's policies becomes a whole lot less attractive if all your neighbors dislike your employer. It all trickles down eventually.
