Can't think of 1 neighboring country of either one that is at all independent enough to impose those sanctions.
Your comparisson to wallmart is quite silly and sounds like more brainwashed american thinking.

Sanctions don't matter to them because they are acting tough thinking they are invincible, but facts speak for themselves:
EU is ~22% of world GDP
US is ~22% of world GDP
China is ~11% of world GDP
- they are staying neutral, but if shit really would hit the fan, and China would be forced to pick sides, they would lean towards EU/US, China needs EU/US markets 100x more than it needs Russia's resources
- just look at who china trades with:

/wiki/...tners_of_China
-US+EU = 1000B vs 80B for Russia
Russia is ~3% of world GDP
Only in Russia that translates to invincible...
No one wants to ruffle feathers and create drama in the world, that's why no one is too eager to play the sanctions game, but Russia is far from invincible...
