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

So…nothing more.

No, I DO get your point. You’re not moving 1 mm in any direction that acknowledges any other argument, so there’s very little point.

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.

And this is the part where you’re not getting MY point: you don’t believe in your Westphalian order enough to do anything that would prevent strategic enemies (China) or people we’ve invested decades into trying to make friends with (India) from getting with the program.

Instead, at the first sign of resistance you’re allowing India and China to fund Putin’s war machine. And playing into China’s hands while doing it.

Do you really think that India is going to “embrace” Putin? Seriously?
