Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted February 24, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 24, 2022 (edited) Neon gas. They have maybe the world's largest supply. Big in the production of semiconductors. Who is the largest supplier of semiconductors? Taiwan. Doesn't change my opinion of staying out of it but Russia and China can easily take a pretty significant hold on the world for a while by taking those 2 countries. Pretty clear what this and covid has taught on with reliance on world markets. Edited February 24, 2022 by Highmark 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Oh yeah, and don't forget the nice CHERNOBYL NUCLEAR PLANT that exploded, and probably radiation poisoned half the people in the northern hemisphere. Little kids coming down with neuro-blastoma cancers. Where the fuck does that come from!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putin has already stated that if Russia is sanctioned economically to the point that they can’t participate in the world economy that the consequences will swift and dire and who really knows what that means? BTW what percentage of the Ukrainian people would welcome becoming part of Russia again? Also if this is a prolonged fight how much can the Russian economy withstand?

That's why Putin moved on other countries during the last 3 democrapic administrations. Chechnya in 1994, Georgia in 1998, Ukraine in 2014 and 2021. What should be done is let him have Ukraine but kick Russia out of the SWIFT banking system until they retreat out of all of Ukraine. If the Ukrainian people want to be part of Russia let them do it internally. Edited February 24, 2022 by Highmark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
