It's not whataboutism.

It's ridiculous to me we went all in on sanctions pretending they would bend over and keep doing business with us, but only on things we want them to, after we deny them machinery, computers, software, cars and steal/freeze their assets.

Your analogy doesn't work, we aren't police and they are not shooting, they quit doing business and decided they are okay without our money.

"we" didn't want them to do business with us. See "MEPs demand full embargo on Russian imports of oil, coal, nuclear fuel and gas" https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20220401IP... The US had to intervene to stop this.
