How was that saying about definition of insanity?

At this point they are just completely unhinged, ingoring their own Copenhagen criteria for joining. What do they want out of this lol

Edit: I thought you replied to one of my other posts lol

Because the previous 65248 sanctions against Russia and Russians were so effective. /s

[-] huf@hexbear.net 21 points 8 months ago

Just one more sanction, bro, just one more

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 9 points 8 months ago

This time it'll definitely work.

These sanctions seem to mostly target the diamond industry

[-] 201dberg@lemmygrad.ml 27 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

So they are going to now crank up the prices in the already overpriced diamond industry claiming is because of this aren't they?

I hope it backfires and Russia just start selling shit loads of diamonds through other sources that aren't part of the global diamond monopoly and it it throws the whole thing for a loop. We will have people screaming about not buying lower prices diamonds because they are Russian diamonds and shit.

I also love how they specifically stated it's for non-industrial diamonds. So basically they are saying "this all a show and the only ones impacted will be civilian buyers of diamonds. We would never do anything to negatively impact real industries."

I can't be the only one that thinks that these gradual sanctions are pretty stupid right? Like if you're going to sanction a country, you have to completely blockade them to cause as much damage as possible. If you implement these gradual sanctions, you give them time to develop their lacking industries, idk it seems stupid to me.

These are going to waste a lot of tax dollars, aren’t they?

What have they not sanctioned by now? That’s 40% joke, 60% actual question btw (idk whether to add lol or smh, smh…well I guess that answers my second question)

I'm glad you asked. There's something I've learned myself quite recently. There's a German health insurance company Allienz SE, famous among other things for working with nazi death camps. They have subsidiaries in Russia. Providing, among other things, so called OMS - universal health care.

[-] Shrike502@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 8 months ago

Let's not pretend the sanctions did not have an effect. Egg prices went through the roof, to the point where people have been pleading Putin about them during the hotline just this week. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
