Sanctioning Companies

The point of this article is don't mess with companies that mess with AMERICA.

If America decides to place or push for sanctions against a dangerous country like Iran, companies should be going out of there way to invest in Iran. Until the regime there changes, and the good people of Iran are liberated by our Navy, keep away from companies that invest in Iran.

The thing is that these companies should know better, period. For example America has warned

If Dutch Shell moves forward with its proposed $10 billion deal with Iran, it will be sanctioned. If Malaysia moves forward with a similar deal, it too will be sanctioned. The same treatment will be accorded to China and India should they finalize deals with Iran."

The question is, to what extent, in the case of Dutch shell, did Russia have an influence on making them invest in Iran. Perhaps it is part of the Russian strategy. After Shell lost in Russia against Gazprom, this might have been a compromise so that it did not lose more than it had to.
