This is a world war aimed at economic attrition; its effects need to be gamed out, beginning with wheat futures.

The question becomes, is it worth the price? Did Chamberlain trade Germany’s neighbors for “peace in our time?” Or did unchecked Nazi aggression only lead to a escalation of worse outcomes? You’re advocating that just letting Putin have Ukraine because prices will become too high? But he’d clearly move on to the rest of his lost Soviet empire, with the same phony tactics. Is that worth the loss of “lucrative markets”? Yes, it is.

People like you act tough because you don’t think that you’re going to be personally affected by all this. We’ll see what kind of tune you’ll be singing once the reality sets in.

Meanwhile, don’t pretend to give a shit about the people of Ukraine. The west overthrew their democratic government to put a right wing regime in place that’s been waging a civil war for the past eight years. And you ghouls have been goading Ukraine to fight Russia pretending that you were going to support it. Then when Russia invaded the west didn’t lift a finger to help. The blood is on the hands of people like you who have been fanning the flames of war and cheering all this on. You’re a soulless ghoul.

Use the sponge between your ears. The west thrived during the Cold War, while the Soviet Union went broke. Tell me again, how Russia – alone this time – is vital to the world’s economy? They’ll just become a Chinese client state, at best.

If you care about the Ukrainians, go protest in Moscow to end Putin’s war, along with all those brave Russians. All your lies are pathetically transparent.

You seem very butt hurt that Putin fell for all those NATO tricks. The world may be changing, but Russia just wrote itself out. The world sees it for the paper tiger it is.

You’re like baby Goebbels thinking that if you just keep repeating nonsense over and over it’s going to magically become truth. You may not have any interest in engaging with reality, but the reality doesn’t care what you think and you’ll get to experience it soon enough.

Stop crying already. Go buy some rubles if you’re so sure in the lies you chose to believe. Walk to Russia, if you love it so much. Because all the flights there are cancelled. Just like Putin.
