would result from placing russia on this list that, for instance, other countries, such as north korea and iran are on right now? so, it would put russia in a really small category of pariah countries joining iran, north korea, syria and cuba to the state sponsor of terrorism list. it would be the symbolism behind that. every day we see the terrorism of russian federation in ukraine. it would actually have real impact. heretofor the biden administration has focused sanctions on individuals and organizations, going after the oligarchs, sanctioning putin and lavrov. this would have a significant impact because businesses that do business in russia still would face reputational risk if they continue to do business in russia. so, i think we would see more businesses flee the russian federation. very importantly, span the aperture and kind of sanctions the u.s. could deploy against russian federation. it would limit dual use exports
