Think Its Possible To Order Tubes From the Ukraine?

Having a set of tube amps being shipped to me this week. Its a pair of Audio Mirror Reflections monoblocks that use the 6C33C tubes. The amps come with one set of outputs and a pair of spares. I was thinking of ordering a backup set of tubes. After looking at the tube sites, the majority of them are Russian sellers, and that is not going to work due to current events. However, there are sellers from the Ukraine of this tube. Do you think a person can order from them and have a good chance of receiving their package?

Simply. Some Western weapons given to Ukrainians end up being sold to other parties. And that's not 100 a day, that's 150-200 according to Western estimates.

Yes, under the Soviet style system, Ukraine was quite corrupt. It would be naive to think that today all corruption has vanished. But they are trying. And they are succeeding, albeit slowly. You can't turn it around overnight. It's a big ship to steer.

So, yes. Some of us do know a bit about both countries and are not looking at it in black and white. There is always grey.

This just in today, as well:

The findings suggest that harming outgroup members is especially rewarding and associated with the experience of positive emotions. Such psychological reinforcement mechanisms may help explain why humans seem so prone to intergroup conflict, Chester said.

In other words, wired from the ground up for gaining great pleasure, when engaging in self righteous horsesh*t, done in the presence of others of like mind.....
