Like what? What economic cost are you willing to bear? Clearly nothing, because you’re unwilling to sanction the people who buy oil from Putin

All the money we spent to supply Ukraine, for example.

Again, you keep missing the point. If we are currently doing A, B, C, and D - then when people say that doing A-D is enough, and that we shouldn't do E, that's not advocating for doing nothing. It's advocating for doing all the things we are currently doing.

And if someone points out that E isn't merely something that won't help, but will actually hurt, that's also not the same thing as saying we should do nothing. It's just saying we shouldn't do E.

I am not "unwilling" to sanction the people who buy oil from Putin. I just had the basic sense to know that it will be counterproductive to do that. That rather than getting them to stop buying oil from Putin, it would lead them to more closely embrace Putin. The exact opposite of what we wanted to happen.

Wow, Armageddon in only 7 months. That’s some skill.

I didn't say Armageddon. I said he's making things worse. And it didn't take any skill at all. It merely took ignorance, an unwillingness to think through the consequences of what happens if India and Brazil don't capitulate to him, and having an idee fixe on the idea that every nation on earth is so committed to the U.S. market that they will automatically do what we say in response to tariff threats.
