re: #586 Dr Lizardo

Probably would. But it would hurt Russia quite badly as well. They are extremely reliant on gas sales to Europe. They could sustain that for a year or two, but not much beyond that.

I don’t disagree with that at all.

But then, if you agree that this would cause a worldwide depression—on top of the semi-depression we’re still in—you think that this issue is worth that? The very real costs in human suffering of that depression, and the instability in other nations it would cause?
