Anyone know what impact these two items from the article would have on western companies? allowing Russian airlines to register jets leased from Western firms as their own property In response, a government commission on Wednesday approved the first step towards nationalising assets of foreign firms that leave the country.

Maybe someone can enlighten me, but is this not the equivalent of saying "You can't fire me - I quit"? Are there any practical consequences from this besides symbolism?
The headline of this article is untrue, evidenced even by the article itself. The one quote they provide from Russia is, "These measures are a logical response to those imposed against Russia and are aimed at ensuring uninterrupted functioning of key sectors of the economy."

If it is all out war, do they care?

Though what's the value of an unsupported modern jetliner?
The Iron Curtain cut through the heart of Europe, dividing east from west. Curtain 2.0 looks to be forming only around Russia, walling it off from all of Europe. Things will be so much worse for people on the inside this time. It will be like Soviet Russia without the Warsaw Pact to support it. It is one thing to be without Twitter and Hollywood movies, but can Russia feed itself? Can any country? Modern industrial a…
They’ve got plenty of opportunities with China.
