Ah yes the American war lords, Body predators are upset that China and India are trading with Russia and now place a scanation of a chionese company for just simply trading with Russia
As you want to see a Russian victory in Ukraine
Russia's aggression against its neighbor
why sanctioning countries who are indirectly supporting the aggressor deserve to be sanctioned for their support of the country who started the conflict.

An American/NATO victory in Ukraine would mean the end of Russia as a civilization and Nation.
But also the end of Eastern Orthodox Religion.
Ukraine wasn't the founder of Eastern Orthodox Religion.
Byzantine empire was responsible for pushing the eastern orthodox faith in Eastern Europe and to the Rus People.

No one wants another forever war.

How does Russia as a civilization cease to be if they rolled back to Russia and ended the war today?
Same with the church....

We’re not. We’re trying to bleed out Russia’s war fighting capability (military, economic, political) without engaging in a direct shooting match between NATO forces and Russian forces. Collectively, the nations aligned against Russia have 10 times the resources that Russia has. In order for this to be a forever war, Russia would have to be able to reconstitute their war fighting capacity faster than they are burning through it, and that’s not happening. Quite the opposite. Russia is now pulling WWII era tanks out of reserves to throw into battle, while Ukraine is getting Leo 2s and Challenger 2s. The US still has thousands of obsolete armored vehicles sitting in storage out in the desert that are still more capable than what Russia is fielding now.

It doesn't but the Russian propaganda has some of their people believing this. Russia may look different after this is all done but Russia will survive and the Russian people will still be Russian people. Their church will survive as well. Doesn't mean that there won't be societal upheaval after this is over. In fact, I'd be very surprised if there wasn't.
But that line of thinking doesn't play as well as "We are DOOMED!!!! We must fight on to save our society/culture/religion!!!"

The sanctions come amid heightened concern that China would carry out military provocations around Taiwan similar to war games it conducted in response to a high-level visit by then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to the island in August.
China on Friday issued sanctions against the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and a Washington-based think tank in retaliation for providing a public platform to Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen during her transit through the U.S. this month.
The sanctions impose visa bans on the blacklisted organizations and individuals, freeze any assets they may have in China and prohibit Chinese citizens from any interactions.

America trying to isolate Russia and China by placing sanctions on one of Chinese Companies For Russia Trade.
You know America? this is not going stop China, India from trading with Russia
Considering the fact that because of this trade with Russia India has the strongest growing Economy in Asia, far more growing than the boot licking Europe vassal state of America
Which tried lecture China by sending the clown Annalena Baerbock.
Its not India's, China's economy banks that are short falling or its economy sinking.
