Here is some reading material for all the other doctor lawyers out there.
It’s complicated.
We should have from the moment they took Crimea in 2014 had full sanctions no finance no business with Russia of any kind and left them with China alone who we would also sanction if they do deals.
But we all work for the same person ( the dollar aka evil ) so inter organization relationships have a lot of reasons to continue and stealing territory back from Ukraine is not gunna cost USA or our equally money Grubbing Allies too much money
We’ll see

Ya I agree.
The big boys aren't likely interested in Ukrainian sovereignty so we'll see a lot of song and dance I think.
Putin wants Ukraine to disintegrate and if he gets most of it he wins a buffer around Crimea and more sea ports. I honestly don't know what good any of this does in the short term. Even Russians really didn't want it to go down this way I think (just Putin). Grafiti and word in the streets was not pro invasion or war at all.. All this could really backfire for them. Occupying Ukraine is going to be way more costly than Crimea in the long run even if the world just dithers around making proclamations.
Pushing the Propoganda so hard and even going after ppl pissing and moaning in legit outrage on social media and non state platforms could backfire too.
When an entire generation or two has had enough of the bullshit they won't be easily controlled or threatened anymore. I'm thinking long term here... 20 years. Even if Russia "won".
