We all know what will stop this war apart from nuking p.o.s. putin.
First:
Europe has to stop buying Russian crude oil. To think that they still do is telling Ukraine we do not care about you and your sovereignty.
Second:
India has to stop buying, refining and selling Russian crude oil.
The dictatorship of China has to stop buying Russian crude oil.
If they these two keep doing it we have no choice but to impose huge tariffs on them and the EU ought to do the same.
Who is paying for putin p.o.s. to keep killing Ukrainians? We all know who is.
Even if eu stops buying Russian gas directly, they still trade heavily with china and India (who still buy Russian gas), so eu is still technically adding to russias economy indirectly
Putin continues to escalate and ignore any efforts for peace. Something has to give. We canât keep doing what we are doing.

putin p.o.s. is interested by three things:
Power
Money
Impose tariffs on the two countries mentioned above.
Both canât do without the U.S. market. The dictatorship canât survive without selling their goods to us. We do this? The E.U. has to follow through.
I understand Putin. None of this surprises me, although it seems to surprise some. He doesnât want peace and never has.
The EU needs to do more but so do we. Iâm more worried about what my country is doing though.
Itâs time for us to do more. We were talking about sanctions on Russia before, now itâs tariffs on others. Whatever, letâs do something. Iâd be really surprised if we hit China hard though.
Not only is Chinaâs economy growing faster than the USâs, not only are they not limiting themselves to fossil fuels like the US is, but they also could care less who Russia invades
USA polices the world, and itâs coming back to bite us because too much of the world views the US as the world police at the expense of our own economy
post-WW2 America is an unsustainable empire. If the USA ever loses Israel, itâs pretty much the end of the USA empire

The assertion that America has predicated itself on exceptionalism and fake patriotism reflects a long-running, critical perspective on the nationâs identity. The debate questions whether the idea of a uniquely virtuous and superior U.S. accurately reflects its history and actions, or if it has served to obscure profound national flaws and self-interest.
Evolving interpretations: The term has been used by a wide range of political figures over time. In 1929, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin used âAmerican exceptionalismâ as a pejorative to criticize the U.S.'s resistance to communism. Conversely, 20th and 21st-century American politicians have used it to promote a message of national greatness.
The wealthiest and elites donât care about patriotism. America is merely a tool that serves their interests.
Capitalism exists to serve the wealthiest, and the middle class (which is most of us) is an illusion built on unsustainable debt financially and environmentally - patriotism is used to distract this class (my class) to support the overall system of American free market capitalism
Our military serves to protect American free market capitalism and/or institute free market capitalism in other countries
