I was only replying to "So less than 12 of the components were manufactured in Asia, while 40 have been manufactured by US companies." My point is that the nationality of a company has no bearing on where they manufacture their parts.

But while yes these companies should bear responsibility if they are selling their parts to sanctioned countries, this is unlikely. There is just no way to track the real-time user of every commodity product - even if there were would you really want to live in that world?

This is somewhat of a tu quoque argument much like the many others here claiming these products are commonly supplied by many companies worldwide, and it will have absolutely no bearing on the reputations of the companies involved, nor can it remove their involvement in the violent deaths of innocent lives.
