@donalt Scolling through the replies.. reminds me of those folks in Erik the Viking who drowned in their boat singing, refusing to believe they're sinking...
@krassenstein Even the imbalance figures don't tell the whole story because they're calculated for physical goods. But how much money do Amazon, Microsoft, Netflix, Alphabet, Disney, Apple, .. make internationally from services?
@ctoLarsson@HamdicEric And when Putin is pissed he can do whatever he wants outside Russian borders? Is that the message we should send? If Ukraine citizens want to fight on, they have my support. Would I go if push comes to shove? Yes. And I'm going 50 here in cozy GER ...

@investanswers@OneLuckyDoggo It's what happens when someone invades your home, kills your children, rapes your wife and your bestie neighbour tells you to keep cool and demands your jewelry for more great tips.
@honza_k_lib@investanswers According to Trump's logic you'd rather call some friends and relatives and sacrifice them for the sake of "peace". There is no peace without freedom. I'd rather go on holiday in Saint Petersburg but as long as Putin pushes, we Europeans have to defend ourselves.
@investanswers The war is easily ended if the one person who started it calls back his troops and respect the sovereignty of countries and their borders. I'm sure DJT and JDV would welcome Russian troops on US soil and just lay down and yield. It seems they already did.
@chamath You achieved everything and more for your family and yourself, yet you choose to wipe Trump's ass to get some more? That's the really depressing part. The fall of the so called elites.
