    Hello Internet commenters. Please remember that there’s no rule that says you need to tell us all your gut reaction to this if you know absolutely nothing about the situation.

      knowing nothing about the situation is indeed the problem. if only this process was more transparent…

        Being Russian => banned from doing business with the rest of the world

        That’s pretty straight forward to me.

          Western chauvinism:

          the imperial core == the rest of the world

          You may not have noticed that most of the world is ignoring the international rules-based order’s sanctions. And not only almost all of the Global South, which represents ~85% of the world’s people and the bulk of the world’s production* and natural resources. Even many Global North countries are skirting their own sanctions to trade with Russia.

          The Global North is largely sanctioning itself, and Europe is paying a very high price for it. In particular high energy prices, which is eroding their industrial base even more.


          *Since the Global North in its infinite wisdom de-industrialized itself.

            The almost the entire world is against Russia. And I don’t see China coming to Russia’s aid any time soon.

              You’re just making it worse 😂 You really have no idea what’s going on in the real world outside of the imperial core, and you’re really sure you do.
