5 months agoI’m all for supporting local markets, but in the grand scheme I find it a bit pointless, when there’s absolutely no plan or intention from anyone to deescalate the situation. I guess that’s the point, so big bucks can be made, but I can’t help being a romantic and hoping for long term peace
It’s not that I don’t understand the logic. It’s that I don’t believe scare tactics lead to peace. I agree that short term I it might scare of Putin, and that’s obviously good, but it’s a bandaid, not a solution, and one that, IMHO, is not easy to get away from.
Also, I find it sad that whenever someone mentions peace he gets ratioed and called a Putin apologist (not here but I see it a lot).
It is possible to want peace and still be against Putin. I get that it’s a sensitive topic and intense times, but we just keep alienating and polarizing more and more people. We need a better approach.
