EU to ban Russian toilet paper

Seeking to deprive Moscow of trade revenue over the conflict in Ukraine, the EU has proposed prohibiting the import of Russian-made hygiene products, from soap and shaving items to toilet paper and deodorant. The eighth wave of anti-Russian sanctions, unveiled in Brussels on Wednesday, would also ban the import of several steel products and attempt to impose a price cap on Russian oil.

So if this is true (which would be really easy to prove), then where does Europe think they will get their toilet paper from? Here in the US, some here litterally couldn't wipe their azzes 2 years ago.

I didn’t ask about America. I’m asking about China. Do you think China is any better than that the US? Chinas troops were in Afghanistan the day we left (their business people). They were first ones to recognize the taliban as leaders. Going to give a very poor country trillions of dollars. Guess what happens when they ask for that money back? They own them that plain and simple.

When it comes to how they conduct business outside of China, they are better than the US.

But when it comes to how they perform domestically with they way they treat their people, I have a lot of issues with. Bu sadly, this is the model that the Democrats and neocons here in America want to bring to the United States.

Everyone should care. But your bias to hating America so much but not the Country who INVADED and killed innocent people in Hong Kong or the mass murdering Uyghurs. Not to mention would 100% do same thing to Taiwan.

I don't hate America. I hate the people we have running the country right now. I also hate that they are preventing us from living up to our full potential by spreading our military all across the globe over matters that have nothing to do with us, they destroy us from the inside with the break up of the traditional nuclear family, attack Christianity/Abrahamic traditions, pump the woke/LGBTQ agenda, promote this ridiculous green agenda, and are destoying our domestic economy. These people need to be taken out of power BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY...

I haven't read the translation yet but I'll try to read it from the perspective of a Russian citizen being asked to support the war. I think that's the primary audience.

The audience was the people of Russia, the global south, and reasonable/nationalists/traditionalists in the West. Wokesters, Russia bigots, and Western elites in the political class will not resonate with what he is saying.

You and lsu are the weirdest people. Y’all think America is the worst and every other country is the best and has all these great intentions. Y’all are delusional

I am not saying America is the worst. All I have been consistently saying is that we are much better than what we doing right now. The people leading us right now are idealogical fools or just corrupt to the bone.The same fate that Europe wil face this winter is the same fate that these guys want to happen right here at home. De-industrialization, rampant immigration, destruction of traditional values/culture and centralized govt control over the masses.

Leaders like Putin, Orban and possibly Meloni are the only leaders out here making a case for what is righteous. Certainly Jim Crow Joe, Justin Trudeau, Lix Truss, Olaf Sholz and Ursula van der Leyen are not promoting anything that is righteous.

You should care about Taiwan. Due to the U.S. foolishly exporting important manufacturing over the last several decades Taiwan is huge in semi conductors and chips. Huge. If China seizes that they have a near monopoly over important components for U.S. civilian and military equipment. You can bet that Japan, India, and Australia will aid Taiwan as well militarily if China does indeed invade. You want to see a total wipe out of the Nasdaq, just wait and see what happens if China does invade. Trillions more will be lost out of millions of peoples 401K's.

Well first off, that is our own fault for exporting one of our critical sectors to a foreign country. The way you correct that bad decision is not through saberrattling with China, but by building back your domestic manufacturing base. The time and resources we have spent on our war machine could have just as easily been spent on building our domestic economy.

Second, If we already assume tht Japan, Australia and these other countries in the region are going to be involved, then why not leave them to resolve the issue with China and Taiwan? We have our own issues to deal with right here at home.

Lastly, this stock market has been propped up by cheap/low interest rates and companies propping up their valuations with buybacks of their own shares... creating false demand for stocks. We should have gone to 15k in the DOW back in March 2020. I think this time around, you clowns will reach a point where you will be begging for 15k.

Anybody with a lick of common sense won’t resonate with what Pootin said Moe.

Is this something the US should be boasting and bragging about right now? Looks suspicious... "opportunity"???

Nord Stream explosions are a ‘tremendous opportunity’ – US

Speaking to reporters in Washington, Blinken boasted that the US is now “the leading supplier of [liquefied natural gas] to Europe.” In addition to shipping its own fuel to Europe, Blinken said that the US is working with European leaders to find ways to “decrease demand” and “speed up the transition to renewables."

“It’s a tremendous opportunity to once and for all remove the dependence on Russian energy and thus to take away from [Russian President] Vladimir Putin the weaponization of energy as a means of advancing his imperial designs,” Blinken declared.

1) I don't disagree that we shouldn't have exported that industry, however it will take a decade plus to bring that all back if we are lucky. In the meantime only a complete dumba$$ would just let the commies take that over. Give Taiwan weapons so they can make mince meat out of the Chicoms if the choose to invade. Gotta clean up our mistake if an invasion does indeed take place.

2) Because only a stupid person would do that. Yeah lets risk critical items to our country just to let others try to take care of this for us. Think before you post. I am guessing that you would have even opposed the revolutionary war. God save King George!

3) "You clowns"??? You are the one that keeps looking like a clown in this thread. I sold off most of my stocks last September in anticipation of this and will buy on the cheap. I don't disagree that the market has been propped up and overvalued. Savvy investors will cash in over the next half decade.
