>why would you care?
Because it has knock on effects and because, as I mention, I genuinely like Russoids.
I used to fly to Moscow a lot en route to Hong Kong, where I had business interests. I liked nearly all the Russoids I met on those flights. They're warm, friendly people. But the idea that everything wrong with Russia is because of le ebil West is just bullshit. The Nowegians get genuine public benefit out of their North Sea oil and gas. Russia's resources go towards enriching a few at the expense of everyone else.
And, then, every justification that's advanced for shitshows like the Ukraine is things like, we need a buffer between us and le ebil West.
Nonsense. It's simply look over there, don't look over here at us robbing you blind.
