Touché!

Here, with the war in Ukraine active soon-to-be for half a year, the world is still waiting for Russia to collapse under the consequences of that decision.
Instead consumer prices exploded around the world, certain goods have become even rarer than before after the slight relief of the global economy from Covid-19, and food supplies and heating have become not safe (the latter - let alone how much it will cost in the end and if you can afford it, if your wallet’s budget is tight).

May it not be that the community of the so-called “Western states” miscalculated in a very high degree in this issue?

This whole thing is so retarded. I can't believe anyone gives a shit...much less, wants to sacrifice for Ukraine.

This is pointing to the failure of globalization. It's the same with cash vs. plastic. If you have to rely on someone else (e.g., the food, fuel, or money is not in your own hands), you are fucked. Produce locally, folks!

The western world miscalculated the obvious.
The idea of functioning sanctions never worked - neither south africa stopped the apartheid, nor did Iran or north korea changed their regime.
And in case of russia it was obvious that our dependancy from fuel and gas would surpass the damage we do by not delivering any goods produced from russian ressources. Actually and as a matter of fact russian economy profits from the sanctions while we suffer inflation and economic downgrowth
stupid politicians! Biden insisted not to defend the ukraine in case it would be attacked just to get bad conscience after russia really did attack and now ruins the western world in a pointless attempt to make it forget this failure
