Putin’s critics call for boycotts of Russian vodka.

We are not the only ones buying Russian oil and gas... When you have adults in charge, they tend to consider the GLOBAL implications of these types of sanctions. There are plenty of countries who rely on Russian oil and gas to such a degree that stopping this oil and gas from flowing to them would have serious economic impacts on these countries.

Yep, so pretending to put ‘serious’ sanctions in place will have to do (for a decade or so) until ‘going green’ becomes practical.

LOL... Why the hell is there a run on ATM's in Russia if these sanctions aren't serious? Are you afraid that Biden is actually going to succeed in dealing with this crisis?

Biden just reads the teleprompter.

This strikes me as entirely silly.

Russia already made their money off any vodka currently sitting on store shelves. These are nothing more than navel gazing attempts to “feel good”

I agree. If one already has it, drink it but don't buy any more.

Russia-Ukraine: White House plays clean-up after Biden says 'no one expected' sanctions 'to prevent anything'

The White House played clean-up Thursday evening after President Biden claimed "no one expected" sanctions to prevent Russian President Vladimir Putin from invading Ukraine, despite claiming for weeks that the mere threat of sanctions would serve as a deterrent effect.

It's just burning your buns that Biden is handling this like an adult, isn't it?

<------I must want to be flamed so ...

...we're admitting BDS is a legtimate response?

And the liquor store is the one that takes the hit.

^^^^^^

Some people really don't get it, as we can see here.

Sometimes a gesture means a lot. When President Zelensky first declined the offer of forming a government in exile like Charles de Gaulle, I had no idea that it would be so meaningful that it would inspire all the men in Ukraine to stand and face the Russian Army. Throwing out Russian vodka is more than just throwing away some alcohol that could have been used in cocktails
or that someone already paid for. (The women who burned their bras in the 1970's had paid for those bras, too.)

If the symbolism is not meaningful to you, then it's not.

Not here. All of our liquor is owned by the state.

I'm proud of Governor Sununu for taking his stance.

 

[Atomic Kid]

It makes sense for a retailer not to buy any more booze from Russia, but current inventory has already been purchased so hiding or dumping it does little good.

Not to mention only about 1.5% of all the vodka imported into the US is Russian made.

So the liquor store in your state does't even have private ownership? Fascinating!

Nope. All liquor is sold at the state stores. Beer and wine are sold in supermarkets and other private enterprises, but hard liquor is only in the state stores, and we have a lot of them.

Our liquor costs are also much lower than any other state surrounding us. If you go into any of the stores near the borders, 3/4 of the cars bear the license plates of those other states.
