imo he'll take Belarus before NATO countries. but yeah, if he does, it will be the end of it. you will be right and will not end from the inside. eitherway, he's crazy. and that's the thing with crazy people, you never know how far they will go.

Belarus is his biggest alliance, they actually have troops invading Ukraine right now

He'll take Latvia or Lithuania next or Estonia

the brand is now owned by a British company but it was founded in Moscow.

yes, but I'm pretty sure these won't be taken off the shelfs. think more Moskovskaya.

common sense?

I fail to see any sort of common sense in banning every Russian player from the league, that's kind of a messed-up suggestion imho.

I'd ban/boycot all russian products. from A to Z. that includes vodka, gas, and Ovie.

yeah I know, I was under the impression they would've removed those products too just for the association, but they're still on the website so I guess they're available.

just checked, Moskovskaya is from Lituana, so still up there. but nothing from Russia.

I just got the Naughty by Nature debut album on vinyl, got that sh!t blasting! Wife and kid are away, just me and the dog, gonna crack the Centennial Rye bottle early, order some Jambalaya get nice and liquored up for the game tonight.... freedom.

The LCBO is one of the largest alcohol retailers in the world. It carries three brands of Russian vodka — Russian Standard, Legend of Kremlin Premium, and Beluga Russian Luxury Vodka — and Baltika 7 beer.

I find that's excessive and completely irrational, but oh well.

That's the kind of thinking that led to Japanese-American internment camps during WWII, a move in hindsight that was absolutely abhorrent.

totally agreed, because these japanese people were for the most part american/canadian citizens.
just like russian immigrants today.
I didn't read anything anywhere suggesting measures should be taken againts them. they are canadians like you and me.

War? Who's we? You're ready to start deporting Russian athletes but won't send any troops to defend the democracy you're apparently acting in the name of?

And don't think I didn't notice you just overlooking the Belarus blunder, it's all good, I'll let you get away with that one, just because I like you so much buddy!

meh, it has nothing to do with picking and choosing, it's about being able to make very basic distinctions between individuals and the regime they're living under. all you're doing is labeling a whole population as the "enemy", which brings absolutely nothing constructive whatsoever.

and we'll see about Belarus. I wouldn't be surprised one bit he takes it.

Dude! Belarus is a communist country, Russia's BFF, hand in hand for life! There's zero chance that happens... less than zero! He's literally invading Ukraine to make them Belarus 2.0, with Belarus' help no less

did anyone from the MTL media ask him what his opinion is on the whole thing yet?

I don't see it that way Pat. to me it's the exact same thing.
taking vodka off the shelfs, one would think some innocent employees will eventually lose their job over there in Russia. is it fair for them? nope but it's the 'game'.

and we'll see about Belarus. I wouldn't be surprised one bit he takes it.

They’re already part of it. They’re one of Putins allies. They are launching a lot of the offensive from Belarus south to Kyiv.
