[Megathread] Ukraine Current Events

I ask all EU citizens to spread this call for action as far around the internet as possible to make a difference!

We, citizens of Europe, urge for the united EU to declare war on Russia and immediately stop all imports and exports to that country.

I myself am aware of the following consequences of this:

  • I may be drafted and die against Russia
  • Even if I don't get drafted:
    • gas prices will possibly triple
    • Consumer and energy prices will likely double
    • We will be hit by the greatest recession any of us has ever known

BUT:

We have enough food and necessities for all EU citizens to live through all of this. Action and sacrifices like these are necessary to do any meaningful difference and to combat the atrocities being comitted right now by Russia under Putin.

We will defeat them in a war if we are decisive.

If our sanctions are decisive, they will lose all civil amenities. His people will turn on him and he will lose support. Billions of barrels of oil will strand in Russia and their economy will implode from the sudden shock.

We must act in any way we can. We must suffer by our choice now, so innocent people are no longer forced to suffer under Puin's regime.
