Intel suspends all operations in Russia “effective immediately”

"Ordinarily, it would be a drastic step for a multinational company like Intel to exit a market the size of Russia."

Clearly we're at the stage where drastic steps are politic, but it's surprising and disappointing to realize they didn't do this weeks ago. Not only because of the current situation, which continues to unfold in increasingly dire and sad ways, but also because it seems that being in Russia isn't tenable in the near future either. It feels like many companies and society in general is "waking up" to a newfound clarity of who and what the Russian state's deepest held values are, and it's not pretty.

For companies that haven't left yet, or are just leaving now, what were they thinking?
