Okay, hope their interests aren’t in doing business in the US if they want to circumvent US sanctions.

We absolutely have the right to draw moral lines in the sand: if you do business with brutal dictatorships, you are the enemy too.

Yeah, but no one likes to get moral lectures from hypocrites. We Americans sure do like self-determination, just not for anyone else.
Is it lost on you that this specific action is literally in defence of self determination in the context of the entire point of the war. Such an incredibly lazy take.
Dictatorships aren’t self determination.
