Russia will stop 'in a moment' if Ukraine meets terms - Kremlin https://www.reuters.com/world/kremlin-says-russian-military-action-will-stop-moment-if-ukraine-meets-2022-03-07/
For now, to bide time, save lives, infrastructure and the global economy, I think this would be the best course of action. Putin will not be around for ever. His successor could be someone much more amenable. This could be Putins way out. Let him have it , while ever he is alive. If this conflict continues , tens of thousands will die. Possibly hundreds of thousands. Ukraine will be reduced to a rubble heap. An unliveable swathe of land. Central Europe will be awash with refugees. The global economy will be shafted. For decades.This is a peaceful resolution.

Putin is threatening a little economic warfare of his own now.He's threatening to shut off Nordstream 1.I'm sorry to say, this will probably have a more immediate and impactful effect on Western Europe than anything our sanctions can do to Russia.

But we will come through. And the start of Spring is the least damaging time to do this.The sanctions on Russia will devastate the country over 3-6 months. They will experience a Great Depression on steroids.

Does that mean we won't be able to afford to go out and use our own cars and have to rely on Amazon to deliver our stuff?
