Trust me go down to the Deep South and you’ll see the same thing

Lot of Americans in that boat too

Hillbillies are subhumans, we don’t count with those

The goal of economic sanctions, other than to deprive the Russian government of resources, is to make an unhappy populace. For the most part Putin doesn’t care cause he’s a dictator, but all indications point to Russians as a whole being lukewarm towards war. Prolonged war with poor economic health is more likely to create civil strife within the country. Letting Ukraine get ran over would only make Putin, and maybe some Russian citizens more bloodthirsty. Sucks for Russian citizens but it is what it is when one mad man can cause all of it.

Nothing wrong with wanting to defend your country

Russian economy collapsing again isnt a great thing because then they have less to lose

there is no way you can believe the sanctions will solve the problem

US futures down a little over 2% when market opens it's gonna get real

not sure anyone is saying that to be honest

some think Biden will just announce sanctions in 8 hours

Russia is bad and being mean to Ukraine and the markets are gonna be sad!

If China put sanctions on the US, do you think the US populace would rather direct their anger towards the Chinese or want the US to submit to the conditions needed to lift the sanction ?

In their case… yes. They’ve been installed there for more than 500 years and that’s what their country is based on. In the US that doesn’t make sense

They're crazy but not that crazy

sanctions are all we can do rn. Whats the other option?

As opposed to letting them operate in the global economy freely? Other than that the solution is to take up direct arms against them

love coming to ktt2 every time something happens in world poltics to see the worst takes/arguments on the internet

he'll condemn and shame russia for doing this, prayers and thoughts to ukraine, some corny message about staying strong in these times, announce sanctions and call it

do you think he's going to declare war or say we're fighting for the ukraine?

understatement

As I keep saying I think Biden will ask congress for war powers to send additional troops

if you are following how fast Russia is moving by 11 est how you think it will go?
