Like I said, you’re not wiling to do anything beyond being outraged on the web. My argument is very simple. We need to do something about the Russian invasion of Ukraine and that something is supposed to be something that is as inconvenient as it can be to Russia, while being as little of an inconvenience to us. Part of that something is broad strokes sanctions. The more specific you want those sanctions to be the more inconvenient it becomes for us. And by doing nothing you’re agreeing with me because you’re not willing to inconvenience yourself for those Russians.
You think I’m being simplistic and dangerous, you’re the one wanting to have your cake and eat it. I understand that there’s a clear trade-off in what you’re demanding and I understand that most people, including you, are not actually willing to take that trade-off. You’re the one being childish and throwing a tantrum because you’re not getting everything you want.
Let me go back to the root of your ever shifting discussion:
Russia represent Russian citizens the same way the US represent US citizens.
Yes and that is not very much.
I’m not sure where and why you started going on about my personal hypocrisy toward the application of santions as the best strategy to counter Russian expansionism or how much it is agreeable as something to apply to the whole of the population.
I never said I’m willing to give up everything…
Anyway, your “arguments” boil down to a shifting grey area between, “they deserve it” and a very dispassionate “there’s no alternative”.
It’s simplistic and dangerous. I hope you are young.
Have a day.
