around here are celebrating these inconsequential sanctions, meanwhile Putin keeps swallowing more and more of the Ukraine and putting more and more troops on the borders of the country. What fucking world do people live in that think sanctions will stop a madman like Putin? I really want to live in their world, because it doesn't resemble this world at all.

read my posts, the last thing I want is a fucking war. I have had enough for ten lifetimes. But you really think sanctions and election observers are going to deter a monster like Putin?

Take over all of the former soviet states? Who cares? Not our problem.

Unless he's going to be running death camps, or ventures into western non soviet territory, Putin is hardly a monster and there's no reason to get involved militarily .
