There is an easy solution to the whole problem with Russia.
Russia is still the biggest purchaser of grains from the US, due to the simple fact that even with the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russian farming efficiency is still in the toilet.
In fact, since the US is the largest grain producing country on the planet, if we stopped exporting to Russia, they could not purchase enough grains from the rest of the world to make up the difference.
What right does the Federal Government have to unilaterally sanction Russia, especially with such severe a severe embargo on a basic foodstuff?
quote:
Yes, there is the argument that by stopping the sale of grains to Russia, we basically are consigning a lot of people to malnutrition if not out right starvation.
However, we are talking about Russians who elected Putin and his band of merry men to office, so they are just as bad as the bald asshole, so let the mother fuckers starve.
I see. They elected a "strong leader" so fuck 'em? Let them die?
If we're sanctioning Russia over meddling in our elections, how, exactly, is this not meddling in their elections?
quote:
This will result in one of two things, either the population of Russia will drop dramatically over the next couple of years, or the people will kick the son of a bitch out of office and get a moderate.
Now if the population drops, that means their standing military forces drop, and since we could very easily eliminate their nuclear threat with a strategic first strike, we could then move in, take their oil fields and make the Koch brothers very happy.
To quote my old first sargent, the only good Russian is a dead Russian.
How imperialistic of you. I, on the other hand, hope for a less imperialistic USA.
