    knowing nothing about the situation is indeed the problem. if only this process was more transparent…

      Being Russian => banned from doing business with the rest of the world

      That’s pretty straight forward to me.

        Western chauvinism:

        the imperial core == the rest of the world

        You may not have noticed that most of the world is ignoring the international rules-based order’s sanctions. And not only almost all of the Global South, which represents ~85% of the world’s people and the bulk of the world’s production* and natural resources. Even many Global North countries are skirting their own sanctions to trade with Russia.

        The Global North is largely sanctioning itself, and Europe is paying a very high price for it. In particular high energy prices, which is eroding their industrial base even more.


        *Since the Global North in its infinite wisdom de-industrialized itself.

          The almost the entire world is against Russia. And I don’t see China coming to Russia’s aid any time soon.

            You’re just making it worse 😂 You really have no idea what’s going on in the real world outside of the imperial core, and you’re really sure you do.
