It's not quite the same scenario. Well I mean, Russia is kinda doing the same, but not on the same scale. Reminds me about Telegram, which they were constantly trying to force the creator to give up his applications to the Kremlin, which he refused and ended up fleeing the country due to constant pressure. But regarding their business opportunities, it's immensely reduced, but of course, not zero. And I really wouldn't say "most", but quite a lot are still willing to work with them in certain fields, which is very much expected, since not everyone agrees with the sanction as that will more than likely hurt the civilians instead.

These countries are not on russia essentially they are buying russian unrefined oil at a bargain discount price because nobody else will buy it. refining it themselves and selling the end product as their own at a higher price. Is russia still making some money from it otherwise they would't sell it all but they are not getting the full value of it and they have no leverage to argue for a better price.

Someone still needs to make the weapons you cant just throw money and get them , and making enough weapons yourself for a war is kinda impossible atleast thats what i think.

Ignorance is bliss. I'm assuming you watched Tucker Carlson Russia propaganda video. Firstly, they have price control on their groceries. Secondly, the amount the average Russian spends on food each month is equal to half the average income. Lastly, Russia is struggling with weapons, we know because Ukraine has destroyed a prototype tank, which goes to show how much they are in need of new equipment.
