Would be funny if you read the article and learned that the components were first purchased in 2019.

would be funny if I didn't need to do that to know that first sanctions came in 2014, or do I?

VSMPO-AVISMA was not sanctioned until Russia's invasion of Ukraine and was a partner in a joint venture with Boeing up until that time.

"politics" is quite the euphemism for "military invasion, violent aggression, and war crimes"!

"politics" did not stop the US from acquiring Russian Ti during the cold war.

No, but when you do that you have to make sure it's used in a maximally ironic way like making a spy plane to use against them. Double points for telling them (or saying you told them) a story that makes them look like mugs in retrospect like "it's for pizza ovens, don't worry about it".
