You haven’t thought through the alternative of a more fricked up supply chain and less crops to feed the world. This should be a major concern for everyone.

The alternative is letting Russia take all of Ukraine, starve the Ukrainians, and sell the wheat to improve their own positioning over energy and food exports. Not like they don’t have a history of such with the very same people. The same people who have been known to shut off the spigot on a whim? By this logic we’d just let them take over the other former Soviet satellites again and control even more O&G, grain crops, fertilizer, and the worlds leading uranium miner. Where do you take a stand before it’s too late and they’ve gained significantly more leverage to disrupt vital supply chains on a whim as leverage? This pacifism is what lead to WWII you keep freaking out we’re going to repeat.

I seriously thought about it, but couldn’t get the ball rolling and not enough people would have shown up.

So just as much pussy as anyone else in here not donating money directly to the IRS for the govt to piss away on something else besides what you asked them to?

Ummm, you’re using 45 years as the bar against 4 months? Are you shitting me? No those are time tables that can’t be compared. What if this is going on in a year or two? What then? Keep sending them billions? Because I’m sure we’ll find quite a few more suitcases with 30 million dollars inside of it that we gave to them.

In 4 months we’ve very much aided in more Russian KIA and equipment losses than in the 10 years they were at war with Afghanistan, whom we aided. How much Russian equipment destruction and loss of military life did we help cause between 1945 and 1991 vs the last 4 months?
