August 31, 20223 yr What they are doing is denying Russians the european lifestyle they already got used to. I know you scoff at such silly things, mock the Euro economy for "just making handbags" and such. But this is exactly how the USSR fell last time, because the people just wanted f'ing blue jeans like normal people. This time what took 50 years will take 5. Putin will be ousted and banished if not outright killed within 5 years. Book it.

Seems the European lifestyle is at risk on both sides of the iron curtain.

Not after the blatant bigotry and hatred on display toward ordinary Russians by all of Europe. Russia has turned to the East. Not because they wanted to but because they are horrified by the ease with which Europe has abandoned basic decency toward all Russians. Europe is one step away from instigating state sanctioned violence against innocent Russians. Besides, there is no "European lifestyle" without cheap, reliable energy from Russia.

Quote Article 22(2)(a) of the 1991 ILC Draft Code of Crimes against the Peace and Security of Mankind, states that "collective punishment” is an exceptionally serious war crime and a serious violation of the principles and rules of international law applicable in armed conflict. Bigotry notwithstanding.

European lifestyle is more than handbags and haute cuisine, it's also democracy and modern workplaces with rights and comforts. It's startups and partnerships in Paris and London instead of Tehran and Beijing. And yes, its also handbags and f'ing haute cuisine, things that are tough to let go of once you know them. Russia needs Europe more than Europe needs Russia. That was proven easily in the cold war and this reminder will come hard and quickly. I'm going to Paris in late October, i'll let you know if the hotels and restaurants are closed because of no gas (hint: they won't be) Judging by the hotel & plane prices, European lifestyle is still on like Donkey Kong.

The West just stole 300 billion in Russian reserve currency and you think the Russians are pining to return for more? Russia will never again expose itself to the weaponized financial gulag of the West. Capital flight from Europe is well underway and, if Powell hikes interest rates another 75/100bps, that flight will accelerate.

September 1, 20223 yr Hey guys, just checking in....has Russia won yet? Wasn't this supposed to be over by end of February/early March?

Sitting in Europe now. Everything is totally fine. If it wasn’t for the signs like the one I posted above you wouldn’t even know there’s a war going on.

Occasionally you see some blue and yellow Ukraine flags while out and about, or you hear something about Ukraine refugees. Other than that, it's the same as it was.
