Russian tube supply issues

Prof, if you purchase Russian tubes and they are restocked via China, as mentioned in a post above, you should consider if you might be supporting the Russian economy by doing so.
 

So the plan is to punish the Russian citizens into abject poverty instead of their government? I have a problem with that considering they have no real choice in who to vote for in their elections. This will do the exact opposite of what they are hoping for.

And here is the unintended consequence of such a move. When you use the monetary system as a weapon, it’s likely to have consequences. Meanwhile, China is loving this idea. I hope this goes no further than Saudi Arabia.
