War in Ukraine

[85SugarVol]

We should take all the wealth form every Russian citizen we can. Farmers? Screw em. If they own stock in a us company we seize it. Haven't spoken out against a ruthless dictator? Screw them too.

Farmers!?

 

[Weezer]

As far as this yacht seizing goes, are we seizing them for good, or are we just holding them for ransom to get the oligarchs to not support Putin? I honestly could give two effs if we're holding them for ransom while this war is going on. If we're seizing property and selling it off, that's a bit different. One is an inconvenience where they'll eventually get their property back, and the other is outright theft. I'm all for inconveniencing the hell out of rich Russians.

Maybe time to cancel "Open Skies". We are seeing legitimate war crimes already.

For what crime? And how long do they have to speak out?

International Criminal Court begins war crime investigation in Ukraine


The International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands said on Wednesday it would immediately proceed with an active investigation following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

War crimes........crimes against humanity.

 

[Velo Vol]

Don't get up in arms when China starts seizing assets owned by Americans when "we don't play by their rules".

I think anyone who has a yacht docked in Shanghai assumes that risk.

 

[WestTennesseeVol]

The moment he looks up and realizes he’s center mass of rounds down range. Yeesh.

Yea., probably doesn't matter. By time they cross ATC traffic to a point whatever you are looking for has vanished.

I was joking

 

[Orangeburst]

Wonder if NATO would want the Pershing II's and cruise missiles back. The German flowers really pushed back on that hard. Heck, if anything that hastened the end of Cold War IMO

 

[MontyPython]

Can we harm the Russians financially without destroying ourselves and our own values?

Would you support torturing these oligarchs?

Yes.

No.

 

[Vol8188]

Yes.

No.

Seems we are setting a really poor precedent that goes against our values.

What are they going to do? The only card left on the table is military involvement

That's a pretty significant card.

Delta has dropped all ties with Aeroflot. Aeroflot has been kicked out of the UK (so far) and we are routing all our Asia flights to avoid Eastern Russia. Before this, all the flights to Seoul and China (when we were doing them) would spend about 3 hours in Russian airspace. I don't know how much time this will add, but I am guessing it will be significant.

Hopefully they will get Fauci next.

 

[WBO]

Wait, who do you think is trapped in the Ukrainian quagmire? What are you even referencing if it's not that in a thread about the Russians in Ukraine?

Don't argue with him. He's a Russian bot. He's been supportive of Putin from the beginning. Pretty much everyone has abused him at one time or another.

 

[davethevol]

Probably not that much longer before they make a move.

Nut case. Better double down on the amount of foil you're using on your hat.

Would you support torturing these oligarchs?

LOL Can you ever truly punish the uber wealthy?

Oh that's right, Joe only gonna tax those making over $400K/year.

And why would you want to torture the oligarchs? To what end?

Yeah OK. He's legit.

And why would you want to torture the oligarchs? To what end?

Sure you can. We’ve harmed them without having to steal anything. They’ve lost billions.

If they are as influential as claimed I’m sure they can stop the war, right? If they can’t stop the war, why are punishing them exactly?

Exactly what did Fauci get correct?
