@Agent641 @SupraMario That might work. Those things update pretty fast. There are better things to use, but not bad.

@floo @Sunshine You know, it strikes me as being extraordinarily naive in a sense to even try to impose sanctions on these things. It is impossible to regulate this kind of commerce in world trade any longer. People just do not pay attention to those restrictions, or if they do, it is only to devise methods by which to evade them. It doesn't seem to be worth doing in many respects. Unless you could make them inoperable by specified entities or in certain applications, I don't have an answer.

@SatansMaggotyCumFart @andrew0 If that's the case, then we need to give Arizona, Nevada, California, Utah, most of Colorado, and Texas back to Mexico. Then there's the matter of the Louisiana Purchase. That's most of the middle of the US which would go back to France. Florida would go back to Spain. Most of the Northeast would go back to Great Britain with some to France. Or we could just give the whole thing back to the Indigenous peoples. It's ALL STOLEN LAND.

@IphtashuFitz @Sunshine Many Americans will not either. It's just not official policy because of an orange pestilence infesting our Capitol. Trust me on this. MOST of us want Ukraine to be a free nation from Russian influence. We'd admit to NATO and send troops. It's our namby-pamby politicians who want to play games with Putin that keep this going.

@Lost_My_Mind @Cephalotrocity I'm doing the same thing in response to Droopy Pants Trump and f-Elon Muskrat in DC, and everyone else in their orbit. I would suggest doing the same. They have only UKr's demise in mind. Do not accept anything from them. 🖕🏼

@comador @SlopppyEngineer what Russia does respond to is shutting down their oligarchs' bank accounts the world over. Confiscate their yachts and send their wives and kids home. They can't stand it. Drives them nuts. The wives can't shop and the kids whine and complain, while the mistresses want attention but they can't pay for anything. Hey, learn to play the game the Russian way. Diplomacy just does not work with them. Never has. But turning off the money? Every time.

@Ilovethebomb @LaFinlandia that or just plain walk into Moscow and St. Petersburg and tell Vladimir that they're running the place now. From what I can tell about the Russian economy, he's not doing a great job and they might go for that. Who knows. I don't pretend to understand Russian politics.

@niktemadur @ModerateImprovement He can't cheat Death forever. For all his precautions, he will die one day. I can only hope to live long enough.

@partial_accumen @Ilovethebomb That's a possibility. Only I'd make sure to 'liberate' some of the equipment first which you know good and well the Ruskies have done to theirs.

@LaFinlandia Oh, my. Vlad must be kicking much Russian a$$ this Friday morning. He really should start with his own. 😎

@LaFinlandia is this in Russia or Ukraine? There are two places with the same name.

@Reptorian @Burstar Hmm, you'd think it would dawn on somebody (hint) that "maybe' it is a bad idea to try to go take somebody else's country away from them "because" somewhere in the history books it "used to" belong to Russia was a bad idea?🤔 Asking for several million Ukrainians.
