Again, what are you proposing? If we are doing a cybercounterattack, do you think we’d be advertising that? And if you want something more aggressive than that, exactly what do you want?
We do a little trade with Russia - not much. They are currently our 28th ranked trading partner with about $18 Billion through October.
Russia’s total trade with the United States was $1.94 billion in October, a change of -28.03 percent from the same month one year ago. The change in exports was -6.83 percent and the change in imports was -54.69 percent. Russia ranked No. 28 among U.S. trade partners in October. It had ranked No. 24 for the same month last year.
The top three U.S. exports by value in October were Motor vehicle parts, (2) Civilian aircraft, parts, and (3) Parts for heavy machinery. The top three U.S. imports from Russia, also by value, were Gasoline, other fuels, (2) Unwrought platinum in various forms, and (3) Oil. By tonnage, the top three U.S. exports were (1) Chemical wood pulp, not dissolving grade, (2) Aluminum waste and scrap, and (3) Preparations for animal feeding. The top three U.S. imports, also by tonnage, were (1) Gasoline, other fuels, (2) Oil, and (3) Nitrogenous fertilizers.

We could certainly embargo that trade - at least now that we are no longer absolutely dependent on them for transportation to and from the international space station. It would cost Boeing a few MAX orders but they are probably going to be deferred or cancelled anyway.
So what do you propose? Wing attack plan Romeo?
