Just listening to these entities “cancelling” Russia…

Not so sure I’m comfortable with how this is unfolding. As of now I think we can have a near consensus on what Russia is doing is wrong BUT with all these global power broker entities swooping in to black ball Russia, who is to say this can’t be don’t to another country with legitimate self interest issues if the prevailing opinion is aligned on the other side?
The vibes I get just don’t sit well with me. Like the “global community” is now figuring a way to flex its muscle punitively against a country. Unintended consequences always seem to sprout up with this type of set up. I hope what I’m saying is making sense, it just rubs me the wrong way how, in essence, this cancel culture is gaining in scope. Seems a bit Facebook/Twitter-esque for my liking.

The money pit is deep in Ukraine and the number of people benefitting from that money pit is deep. The DS/cabal are extremely angry for the destruction of their money pit and are willing to destroy everything to not lose what they've built.

Yes from how we are seeing this unfold it does have those undertones to it, as in some “favors” are being called in. We already know how sleazy Ukraine has been with our sleaziest of politicians so that should raise some eyebrows off the top. I’m just a free thinker and when things seem off, as this whole situation does, it makes me get self reflective as to what am I missing here? You’re probably the same way too but something is WAY off about some of this and as usual following the dirty money seems a good place to start…in particular when we already have known for years whose hands are getting greased over there and they all seem to have a similar ilk…Clintons, Bidens, Romney, Kerry, Pelosi….mmm hmm! Totally on the up and up!

This is the first time that cancel culture has gotten something right. Whether you want to admit it or maybe you're not fully dialed in/informed, make no mistake that this was naked, unprovoked aggression. And for that alone, I applaud the Exxon's and Apple's of the world for their version of sanctions or "cancelling" as you say.

Well I’ll be…found the “smartest person in the room” right off! Yay me!
Listen arse, you couldn’t be more pretentious if you tried but I digress…the whole point of what I’ve been saying is that although this time they might be “getting it right” as I mentioned about the consensus that Russia is in the wrong, and I think I went way out of my way to address that but since you just wanted to have a look at me and how smart I am moment…you failed to get the point in its entirety that the same forces building and getting it right can basically become the monster which can’t be tamed and get it wrong a shitload more than getting it right.

Russia fought against the nazi's during WWII. They are once again fighting Nazi's.
I don't say this as a slur. I say this literally. Do some reading on Ukraine in and around 2014.

Yes thanks, I have looked into it some already but will check some more out. Also I could tell from your tone that you are not being pretentious so no worries. Thanks!

At this point, I think we are pushing Russia away and are going to align them with china.

If Putin didn’t understand what the repercussions of invading Ukraine would be he probably should resign…lol!

Look at how the power of the globalist has grown. Putin is/was more worried about the repercussions of doing nothing and just sitting back waiting for the globalist to set off a nuke in the US and blame it on Russia. That was what Uranium1 was all about.

So if China put nukes on in Mexico, should we just sit there?

146 million Russians will suffer and the entire country will end up in chaos. China moves in to "help" but ends up owning the whole kit and kibootle. These elites/corporatist/ Facist/Leftist have no idea how bad the consequences will be. You think watching a few cluster bombs on tv is bad; wait until the bodies of starving people are rotting everywhere spreading diseases we thought were eradicated.
I for one don't think this is worth ruining the entire Russian economy. Plus if you back Putin and his cronies into a helpless situation, he might just take us down on his way out!
Wake up and realize the rule of proportionality.

These Corporations took an actual stand . Yet Putin lovers are more concerned that their hero is becoming somewhat of an international pariah.

It's like they want a nuclear bomb to hit Wall Street and DC to initiate a "reset".

There ended up being no real need for a ban on Russian flights as GE, Rolls Royce and the other engine supplier that I can't recall has said they are not making parts nor maintenance materials available to Russian airlines.
I liked it better when large corporations stayed out of politics. Now they, far beyond those I mentioned, are using their power to influence global politics.
And it will happen more and more.
