Trust fund babies: We’ve decided to close BKs in Russia and cut all ties with Russia.

Trust fund babies: You can’t do that - that’s illegal!
It’s infuriatingly fascinating as I’ve been having this same discussion with similar friends that I thought were smarter than this.
“What Putin did is illegal and against the world order”
“How?”
“Well we need to stop him.”
“Ok, but we need to send troops in to stop him.”
“Well we don’t want a war.”
“We’re already IN a war.”
“Yeah and Putin is a real bully and needs to be stopped.”
“Then we need to go to war with our troops.”
“No... you don’t understand, Putin’s a bully! and Evil! How can you sympathize with him.”
“I’m sorry - what part of there’s only ONE way this ends as he’s not listening to diplomacy.”
It’s like everyone has completely forgotten (or maybe never understood) how civilizational politics WORK!
“Then we need to go to war with our troops.”
“No... you don’t understand, Putin’s a bully! and Evil! How can you sympathize with him.”
LOL!!! We don’t need to go to war and/or risk nuclear war, we just need to stop him........
