What the article actually says is that western companies have little interest in exiting Russia. What's happening is that Russia is choosing to seize their assets in retaliation to the west trying to steal Russian foreign assets. The phrasing of the headline is an accurate summary of what's actually happening, which is that the west is seeing serious economic blow back from its economic war with Russia.

I mean seizing assets has worked for Cuba and Venezuela, right? Right!?

You really can't understand the difference between Russia and Cuba? ๐Ÿ˜‚

Yup, that's the level of argument I've come to expect from you.

Sorry, a dictator is a dictator, just a difference of scale.

Thanks for further highlighting your lack of understanding of the subject.

Russia is far from communism, with only Putin and a few oligarchs in power.

I mean, that sounds like textbook communism to me.
