I think you are in the minority with your stance. Most Europeans support the sanctions, and rightly so. Tough times require compromises. Expecting to live in stable, uneventful bliss forever is certainly desirable, but very naïve.
- ReptileMan 4y agoThen why is everyone whining?
- kuratkull 4y agoSomeone is always whining, usually whiners are louder than ... the non-whiners. And I didn't say everyone supports the sanctions. 10, 20 or 30% of people of a large group can whine so loud you'd think they are speaking for the whole world.
- blub 4y agoFirst of all, the sanction blowback hasn’t hit Europe with full force yet, of course one would otherwise support something that enjoys massive media and government support when the real costs aren’t obvious. Secondly, this needn’t have been tough times, if the EU had prepared. Or failing that, recognized that it can’t declare economic war on Russia and enjoy gas deliveries as usual. Thirdly, “stable, uneventful bliss” must be a poor attempt at humor. Did you miss the multi-year global pandemic that we still haven’t recovered from?
