   I'm going to complain about this and I may get some flack, but it's worth it.    
   Russian "international" aviation utilizes Airbus and Boeing aircraft although   
   they do fly Russian-built aircraft as well.  The idea that we are sanctioning   
   a source of income for Russia (through their own taxes, etc.) is logical but   
   we should continue to provide parts and equipment to support their fleet.    
   Russia will continue to fly their airlines and if they begin to drop out of   
   the sky or fail to get off the ground, the blame will fall on the US and EU   
   even though it was the Russian government that caused the sanctions in the   
   first place.   
      
   For example, we won't provide compressor fan blades for Aeroflot.  Okay, they   
   continue flying their 757s and 767s.  Compressor fan failure, ejects through   
   the wall of the engine, destroys the engine.  On the ground is one thing.  In   
   the air, something completely different.  Safety is paramount in aviation and   
   should trump sanctions.  What about oil or fuel, sanction it.  If it can be   
   sourced within the country, sanction it.  If it can't, and it is for safety,   
   then we should let it flow (but tax the export from the US and EU).   
      
   Just my two cents.
