Tier three countries get 5 percent of U.S. super computer exports. If U.S. super computer companies didn't export a single computer, a single supercomputer to any of those countries, we are talking about giving up 5 percent of the market, and there are six or seven supercomputer companies. No company is going to live or die because it can or cannot export a supercomputer to China or to India or to Pakistan or to Israel or to Russia. It's just the numbers aren't there. This is not, from the sanctioner's point of view, a jobs issue at all.
Sanctions are a security issue.
Myth number two is that sanctions seldom work. In fact, they work very well. Because at that point they would not be perceived as risks for Western exports. They would be seen as part of the solution, rather than part of the problem. That was a large factor in influencing them to make the decision they made.
