    Rubbish. Not while Russian government officials, capitalists and TV propagandists all have real estate, children and Bank accounts in Europe

        You’d be surprised. Putin’s children are raised in Switzerland, and I bet their life is not funded by a hardworking mother.

          I don’t know if you’ve been living in a cave for the past 4 years, but relations between Russia and Europe aren’t what they used to be. Also, are you suggesting that rich people in Russia can’t live well without needing Europe?

        I mean, sovereign states are seemingly a potential military target, so who would have thought that includes weapons factories.

    Do it. Close both straits and shut down the global economy at the same time. This life sucks and it’s getting worse. Just put the economy out of its misery, cheers! We’ll rebuild from the ashes.
