According to this article, one of the US companies seemingly doing business in Russia at this point in time is Caterpillar inc.

Pretty shameful when you see Russia bombing civilians and killing children.  Even Komatsu has suspended shipments to Russia.

They better think hard about closing ASAP, I'll be finding out today if Takeuchi is still running in Russia. People need to wake up about what's happening, this is going to get super ugly real fast.

I can't recall the entire history, but Caterpillar was doing plenty of business with the Soviet Union before and after WWII.

-congrats Caterpillar for suspending operations in Russia
-Caterpillar has done plenty of business in the Soviet Union over the past decades
-no reason to reward a hostile regime by doing business with them
-people need to dust off their history books, crack them open and remind themselves of how Dick-taters operate

always dropping GOLD, all you have to do is just pick it UP !

Whilst it is a start, it does not say they will stop all shipments to Russia only suspending operations in factories. Deere today said they will stop shipments. Komatsu said they will stop shipments.
