[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes we can.

We can, and we will if need be.[/quote]

The impact on the US—and global—economy would be catastrophic.[/quote]

LoL.

Russia has minimal economic impact to the US and world.  Their only impact is gas to Germany; but that is not even that big of a global impact.
Keep in mind the economy of Russia is the same size as Spain, or Texas.

Chinas economy is shaky at best right now with Covid and their currency manipulation.
US can sanction China within reason; tariffs and things like that.  We are not going cut them off SWIFT or anything like Russia is dealing with.[/quote]

I’m not talking about the impact of the Russia sanctions on the world, although remember that Europe has not cut off oil and gas imports from Russia. Also remember that Russia is the world’s number 1 grain exporter and has threatened to withhold those exports.

I’m also not saying we can’t sanction China at all; I’m saying we can’t sanction China to the extent we’re sanctioning Russia — which you appear to agree with.[/quote]
