    I wonder who's getting rich off of all this. You know what they say about buying when there's blood in the streets.

    Just in case. On the Twitter page open the 3 dots opposite the avatar. Hit, embed tweet, copy code. Paste on GC.

    Even if true, invading Ukraine justifies the rationale behind expansion.

    One more. The source isn’t exactly neutral though.

    That's stupid, just hurting the local economy. The distributor already has his money from the seller. The seller will just have inventory it can't sell. The producer already has their money from the distributor. The distributor is just sitting on inventory it can't sell to the seller.

    I agree, just back up a few steps and prohibit any more imports of Russian Vodka.

    Also seems like Russian oil would be more impactful, but we all know what happens when gas prices go up in this country.

    There is plenty of American Vodka, Titos is my favorite anyway, and there is plenty of American oil if they would just open the spigots.

    Listening to all these apologists around, my thoughts, Russian hookers take good video and log all payments during speaking engagements

    Doesn't justify it all but it is a response to the UN and the rest of the world for ignoring the resolution when you cannot get the resolution enforced.

    It boggles my mind that people don't understand Putin was forced into some sort of retaliation especially when diplomatic solutions are fruitless. You provoke the bear you get a thumb in the eye. The meddling in Ukraine by the west has been going on for years and to suggest the US wasn't involved in all of it is myopic.
