"We’re not even being asked to go over and fight, only to give up buying Russian products to help stop Putin"

Biden has stopped oil & gas imports and nothing else. Congress/Senate are voting on removing Russia’s non-favored nation trading status which means that tariffs will be increased, not that products won’t be imported. So unless either Putin decides not to export anything to the US, or Biden/Congress goes beyond eliminating non-favored status and suspends all imports no one is being asked to not buy from them. And, if you don’t want anything from China talk to your Congressman & Senator and get them to write legislation to prevent US investment in China as well as non-importation of anything from them. Good luck with that, but that is where your indignation needs to be directed to attempt to get action not on Audiogon

 

 

@facten - what else does Russia export besides oil and gas? Vacuum tubes and nested dolls? Maybe I've just missed 'em, but I've never seen much in the way of 'Made in Russia' items over the years when I've bought any kind of items....  As for Russian vacuum tubes, I've got a lot of tube gear, but I can happily live without 'em. 

Google and you’ll find out, but here is a link with major items; yes not much in pure consumer goods ala China

What does the US import and export from Russia? - AS.com

Again, Audiogon is not the place that is going to resolve the indignation voiced above relative to either country, but whatever. Enough said on my end

This is a better to scale rendering of what Russia exports. Treemaps are the best.
Just saying....

All the best,
