They will be something they have to deal with and overcome. Right now, you need to wonder who will last longer during these sanctions: Russia or Western Europe?

Let me also add that not only is it a waiting game between Russia and Europe, it is also the US. Biden already has inflation rumbling at a good simmer right now, let's see what happens when a barrel of oil is approaching $200 or more...

Going to be really bad for commodity steel and brass prices…which are already bad…and getting worse with no supply coming out of Russia.

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.

I know I am probably just wasting my breath right about now, but you people that are championing these economic measures are unaware of the long term consequences of this. They are showing you the ways they plan on controlling humanity in the future. Yeah yeah yeah... you're worried about right now and not looking long term. You want to let out your 2 Minutes of Hate on the enemy de jour right now. But if you are paying attention, 2022 is becoming the year of economic warfare. You saw how they closed down the finances of the Canadian truckers and now you are seeing how they are handling Russia. You redhats will soon get your taste of this... as well as you useful idiots on the left if you don't too the line domestically. They will shut you out from the economy or apply sanctions on you as an individual. Control you with a CCP social credit system. They are just fine tuning the system and getting you sheep conditioned to this.

I agree, I'm not sure that was a good thing. I think the world is in the most dangerous state it has been in since 1962. Its probably much worse given the "advancements" in WMD since then.

You still don't get it, or are in denial from trumpism, but Russia has infiltrated your social for YEARS. Starting with facebook. Many of us saw it and dropped facebook almost immediately, then they took twitter.. and others. infiltrated our companies and even energy and other infrastructure. Wiping your minds and causing chaos. I know these things.

I don’t disagree with this at all. I was thinking yesterday that it’s frightening the economic damage inflicted in less than 24 hours. The “system” is built for this now. This wouldn’t have been possible 20 years ago.

They sure seem a helluva better at that than they do fighting. If this turned into a conventional war I have full confidence we would kick their ass. The only thing that seems to be keeping that from happening are these little 6500 + nukes they have.

I would agree with that, but these Belarus ****ers are a little nastier. No regard for human life.

The Canadian protests should have been an eye opener, but with a certified enemy in Putin, you will see even redhats lining up to weaponize the financial system and support legislation that takes us further down the road. Dumb. Redhats haven't learned jack squat since The Patriot Act and 911. The stated targets were terrorists...then it became us. History is repeating itself.

I'm not in the business of being on the side of what is popular, but on the side of what is truth. The majority of people out here do not make good judgments about their own day to day lives, so how can we expect them to get this situation right?

He humble brags about popularity not being involved in his decision making while replying to a post acknowledging that he aligns with a group which contains the two most populous countries on the planet. His quest for truth also has him aligned with such beacons of truth, freedom, and family values as China, Iran, North Korea, Uganda, and Congo. Take a bow, Ras.

I'm trying to figure out your angle. The civilized world has three options here.

1) ignore what is happening in Ukraine and let Putin take possession of nations that do not want to be under his thumb.

2) commit to war and the consequences of a world war.

3) work in other means to fight against what Putin is doing, basically what we are doing now.


Exactly which of these are you advocating for? And why?
