Once the war in Ukraine is over, maybe there's an opportunity here to focus a boycott on them ?

- the_af 5y agoBut can you bet on what will actually happen though? Because I can. Western democracies are pretty selective on which dictatorships and failing democracies they decide to pay attention to.
- rizky2410 5y agoI wouldn't count on that.
- ummonk 5y agoThe war in Yemen started first. Why should we be focused on Ukraine when the war in Yemen isn’t over?
- BlueTemplar 5y agoWe probably shouldn't, but we already are.

- BlueTemplar 5y agoYeah, there are certainly a potential issues there, but I'm coming at this from the recent feelings of shame from realizing that what I'm feeling now about my friends and family in Ukraine - while I didn't do anything except speaking out against it when (for instance) the war in Libya broke out - so what moral standing do I have now in asking even those Russians that do NOT have friends and family in Ukraine to potentially wreck their own lives to stop this war ? Hence (I hope) I'll act more about these issues in the future, and hopefully I'm not the only one.
