Not true. First most of the current control measures are lifted by now, the importers were exempt from start.

ADDENDUM TO COMMENT #80:

THE WORLD SOCIALIST WEB SITE
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/06/08/drjx-j08.html?fbclid=IwAR3PlFrs_ZtLGDiAh3j5HtLBY9R43CY5RHgot1w8rsW_z5cWBzcE

MEDIA BIAS WEB SITE: THE WORLD SOCIALIST WEB SITE
is moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation.
The above site has been LEFT BIAS

These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports, and omit information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Left Bias sources.

Overall, we rate the World Socialist Web Site (WSWS) strongly Left Biased based on the promotion of anti-capitalist, socialist viewpoints. We also rate them Mostly Factual in reporting rather than High due to the use of some sources that promote conspiracy theories.

DETAILED REPORT
Bias Rating: LEFT
Factual Reporting: MOSTLY FACTUAL
Country: USA (44/180 Press Freedom)
Media Type: Website
Traffic/Popularity: Medium Traffic
MBFC Credibility Rating: HIGH CREDIBILITY

The American right-wing press has referenced the World Socialist Web Site as an example of left-wing extremism (The Las Vegas Review-Journal, 29 March 2006). While some have accused them of being a source of Russian disinformation.

Umm, OK Mayór. If the clothing manufacturers were free to order buttons from abroad, as they had been doing for years, and simply failed to do so, for no good reason, well I guess we will have to chalk it up to SOS (Sudden Onset Stupidity), and not the sanctions.

Are you sure you want to go with that? I know that the prospect of the FSB pulling out your fingernails makes you quick to absolve Putin of, well any and everything. But in this case your explanation makes the leadership of the clothing manufacturers out to be buffoons, who "forgot" to order buttons. The implausibility of that explanation focuses attention on what you want the West to ignore.

Maybe you ought to just stick to posting tales about how the Russians are famous for their strict compliance with international norms.
