Maybe we could give Putin and Co. some eastern MT elk permits to sooth him over. He’s got like 100+ billion. Think of all the positives to our local economy and the hunting industry.

This type of hate and ignorance is what I was pointing too. Although the Ukraine Russian war doesn't seem to be racist in any way, other wars are fought over, and because of it.
Weird how I read this right after my posts with you.

It’s been a tearful day for me. I had many Ukrainian coworkers when I worked in ND 15-20 years ago who were here on visas. Their faces keep flashing through my mind. I can’t imagine what they’re all going through right now.
Putin is just the neighbor that the wilks brothers deserve.

Heard today that Putin has something like 100B in personal wealth. That dude should defect, buy some property over here and hunt the rest of his life! Seriously though, I pray for all involved in this situation. We need the Lord now more than ever.

My thoughts and prayers have definitely been with the Ukrainian people this week.
It's made me look at my family and ask myself the questions a lot of dads have been forced to over there this week.

Bruh with a manbun, ears tucked in his flatbrim, and a creed 6.5 could end this with one 10,000 yard shot.

Same when I worked in Medora.
Serious Geo-political event all right. As a matter of fact, I agree with everything you've posted. Though, I'm not sure the nuclear weapons placed in Ukraine would do much to deter Russia. Their removal was more about our piece of mind.
A mess all right.

The Russian central bank more than doubled interest rates Monday, to 20 percent from 9.5 percent, in a emergency move to try and stabilize the plummeting ruble, which dropped more than 30 percent Monday, to its lowest rate ever against the dollar.

The hectic moves were the first signs that Western sanctions were shaking the foundations of Russia’s economy.

Ukraine serves as a further reminder of how intertwined the global economy has become and how many essential areas the US doesn't even play in.

Russian Attack on Ukraine Could Dent Chip-Maker Supply Lines
Much of the supply of neon gas and palladium—both needed to make semiconductors—comes from Russia and Ukraine. The upheaval comes amid already depleted chip inventories.

By far the largest concentration of Ukrainians live on the east and west coasts, but in middle America, many have settled in Texas, Colorado and Arizona . Yesterday, they had a large gathering in Phoenix and unfortunately, I no longer am able to attend, but one of my grandsons did and he said a fair amount of the attendees are arranging to fly to Poland and then cross the border into Ukraine and help however they can. And not just the men, the women as well. Some were asking for help with travel costs, some where asking for help with their family here in the States, after they leave and until they return, and of course contributions for their motherland to help fight Russia

Just fascinating:
"RIA Novosti accidentally published a pre-prepared article for the "end of the operation" on February 26th. Due to the defeat in key areas, the article was deleted, so you can read what kind of future they planned for Ukraine. thread with translation of the article."

2 of other young men I worked with in West Yellowstone and we took on a 10 day houseboat vacation to Lake Powell to celebrate the end of tourist season are also from Kyiv. I have lost touch with them since I moved but have been praying that they are well.
So we are a few more days into Putin’s invasion of a sovereign country. It appears that the Biden Administration is still buying Russian oil, therefore funding Putin’s invasion. STOP IT !! Allow oil companies to get back to work here at home. Lift the restrictions this Administration put on them and the pipelines. I even heard Canada has a bit of oil they would like to sell us.

Man, from my perspective this is really hard to watch. There is nothing about war that is glorious. Its ugly, and the worst of the worst and the very best show their colors.
This one feels different from Iraq and Afghanistan, but in some ways feels the same. I do believe some of this is triggered due to resources in Ukraine and also geography. Part of me feels like there is a much bigger play in the back ground.
I really hope it stops, But I am afraid this is going to get bigger and may last a number of years. Eventually I think US involvement is inevitable, I know my marine friends I served with are ready, but I really hope it just never comes to that. I really don't want to bury any more of them.
This sucks.

The language here is pre-modern, this way of viewing the world through the lens of People and Nations is so foreign to American minds like mine. FascinatingJust fascinating:

The Vital Missing Link in the U.S. Sanctions Against Russia
Without targeting oil and gas, the West's sanctions against Russia are largely toothless and unlikely to have a major impact
