Russian SuperJet gets hit as they support the Islamists Fascists in Iran

The Russians have to be taught a lesson. They cannot have it both ways. They cannot both support the Islamist Fascists and get business from the US.

The SuperJet-100, part of the Russian government's effort to revive the country's role in global aerospace, now has 20 international subcontractors, including six from the United States. The U.S. State Department decided in August to block U.S. companies from doing business with Sukhoi Aviation Holding and Rosoboronexport, the state-owned weapons exporter, for purportedly breaching a law against trading with Iran.

Mind you it is more to do with the corporations than with anything that the governments can do. It is corporations that are doing the deals and the governments and UN can do very little.
