It's all wild speculation, of course, but I keep seeing the term kompromat being used over and over again lately as an explanation for why many business, financial, and political leaders may not actually impose meaningful sanctions like blocking or withholding assets and contracts. I'd love to see some of the supposed blackmail material actually surface to the public eye, but I seriously doubt any of it would get that far.

The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts. The only way to guarantee thoughtful, informative discussion is to write thoughtful, informative posts. AppleNova is not a real-time chat forum. You have time to compose messages and edit them before and after posting.
