Nothing like kicking yourself in the ass.

It's not about the money...It's about killing Russians and being proud of it.

Unintended consequences. Headlong rush to declare war economically on Russia and enter into a new Cold War affects the global economy, especially the poorer countries that depend on Russian and Ukrainian wheat and fertilizer. Famine and civil unrest to follow.

Which will lead to the usual redistribution of money from Western countries to those poor countries while lining the pockets of those on the left handling the transfer. A global Haiti if you will. Where's Sally Struthers when you need her?

The US is the world’s largest debtor nation. Printing and distributing more money won’t remedy food shortages for the masses.
