The point of this thread isn't to bash anyone. The point is to stimulate thought...
I'm curious if anyone has thought about what happens if we do economically crush Russia.
They have 3 ways of making money on the black market.
1. There will always be buyers for energy. They currently produce 1/5th of the world supply.
2. They could go into the ransomware business full time
3. They could sell off their nuclear parental to the highest bidders.
I'm not against sanctions against Russia but I do wonder if the people in charge are prepared to combat these things.
How much would Iran or North Korea pay to get their hands on a functioning nuclear warhead? What would they do with it? Its a scary thought.
I think the global community needs to be cautious with how we deal with Russia. Their destruction is a unique threat of it's own and I am curious if anyone has taken the time to consider this.
