Re: Fight back / ramp down

Well, to be fair, it's a bit easier to remove tech support than a country-wide dependency on hydrocarbons. ;) One involves a major reworking and re-resourcing of critical national infrastructure by dedicated specialists, the other just involves not picking up the phone and binning support tickets (so, lack-of-service as usual, then, in my experience of this particular vendor... ;) )

It will be interesting to see how many Western businesses will dip a toe back into Russian waters once all this is over. One has to think that having been badly bitten once, they may be reluctant to gamble again.
