Putin does remember. In making his treaty with China he is buying time. Just like Stalin thought he was with Hitler. Siberia is sparsely populated and things are just beginning to warm up.

The Libertarian response to this brutality is, um, Luke-warm, at best. Good thing Libertarians will never have any real power...

Ayn Rand acolytes give me a case of dyspepsia. Selfish and self important clods though they be.

Old quip: "How does a libertarian stop a panzer division?"
"The market will handle it."

BP quits Russia in up to $25 billion hit after Ukraine invasion

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/brita...172214281.html

Quote:
LONDON (Reuters) - BP is abandoning its stake in Russian oil giant Rosneft in an abrupt and costly end to three decades of operating in the energy-rich country, marking the most significant move yet by a Western company in response to Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

Rosneft accounts for around half of BP's oil and gas reserves and a third of its production and divesting the 19.75% stake will result in charges of up to $25 billion, the British company said, without saying how it plans to extricate itself.

"I have been deeply shocked and saddened by the situation unfolding in Ukraine and my heart goes out to everyone affected. It has caused us to fundamentally rethink bp's position with Rosneft," BP Chief Executive Bernard Looney said.
Wow!
