We're All Doomed!™ (the Conquest, War, Famine, and Death Thread)

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Russia didn't defeat the Nazi's and save the world to receive this type of disrespect.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Nothing like a completely unbiased source of 'information' there, hey Mëds? :D

Yes - Putin invading Ukraine and causing problems with supply / sanctions is Biden's fault - all part of a giant left wing conspiracy. C'mon Mëds, you're better than this.

Are the sanctions doing anything besides driving up commodity costs around the world and creating an increase in government dependence?

Sanctions are the only response that can be safely resorted to against Russia at this time. They are having some effect on the Russian people (the oligarchs will survive just fine), and in turn put pressure the Kremlin. It's been a month. Putin built up reserves to prepare for the sanctions he knew would be coming (when he know he would invade), so it will take a little time to see how effective they are. The big question will be how much China decides to help Russia.

Of course, it could all backfire, Russia could collapse, Putin will press some red buttons on his way out and we all lose.

The other option is to ignore what's happening and let Russia roll over the Ukrainians while watch. No simple solutions in complex situation.

So if prices go up a bit for a while and Russia is forced to back down, is it worth it?

Much of the West is obese anyways. We could stand to cut back on a bit of our eating. You could actually say that Putin is doing is a favour!

How long til Putin is assassinated is the question. It's inevitable

The rest of Russia can back away pointing at his Polonium infested corpse and we will all welcome them (their wheat and oil) back into the west with open arms

Unlikely. Doyle's Putin probably has security up the wazoo.
