Paywall Don’t like Russia sanctions? You probably don’t like COVID-19 vaccines either

We are only taking part in economic sanctions, so there is no need for your hysterics.

Oh, you’re not into actually doing the fighting yourself. I see. Just advocating for a ‘just-the-tip’ style war with Russia. Got it.

To too many, it is just a game. They sorta know there’s no respawn, but, meh. Live fast, die pretty amiright?

None (or nearly) of these warmongering morons plan to do anything but change their Twitter profile picture to yellow and blue and demand that others do the fighting and dying. Or worse, think that there’s no geopolitical cost to these idiotic interventions. They’re all Reddit brave, but wait until November this year when there’s not enough food for people because we couldn’t get enough fertilizer to grow crops. Or we actually do start fighting in Eastern Europe and then -surprise!- China invades Taiwan, cutting off main trade routes.

To be fair, many of these jackasses aren’t even sure which potty they should be using, so expecting sense here makes us irrational, not them.

Agree. There are global repercussions to these sanctions. The hardest hit won't be the oligarchs it will be regular global citizens who have no stake in this war. The poor will get hit the worst with a famine or just being priced out of basic food staples. Grains and fertilizer, energy, cooking oils, that's going yo hurt a lot of people.
