Just wanted to add, I fully believe that there are people much more intelligent about how to handle this than me and will accept what they decide. I'm definitely not routing for any direct involvement. I'm also very glad we have a component administration for the moment.
That they make Formula or what?
FWIW - wolfe’s posts in this thread have been well thought out and replied to on topic.
I think drawing a completely clear line with Putin that any Russian military action occuring on NATO soil will lead to an overwhelming response will reduce the risk of this spilling outside of Ukraine. I'm not sure if it would be bad for NATO to state that NATO retains the decision to respond with overwhelming force if WMDs of any type are used against civilian populations in the UK even if we wouldn't take that step.
I think the inherently reckless act of invading UK standing at the brink of losing the war, and the pressure that puts on a seemingly paranoid Putin means accepting that there's a non-zero chance of more reckless behavior. Doesn't necesarilly mean Russia would resort to nukes but it's at least more likely now than at anytime since the end of the coldwar.
Nestle had a history of aggressively pushing formula on poor 3rd world mothers who then struggled to afford the formula to feed their children resulting in significant deaths due to malnutrition that in some cases were attributed to Nestle.
And if he is prepared to play NK for 10 years to get local supply up and running?um.. if he's continuing with his self sufficient econ experimenter, it has MASSIVELY failed for this Ukraine war with the world wide sanctions.
they no longer have the parts to build cars, much less planes
Maybe…but I’ll be damned to have to give up the Purina branded animal foods we use that our animals will eat. Otherwise, our exposure to Nestle is limited Hotpockets, Lean Cuisine and couple things from Stouffers.
They should confiscate and distribute the goods among the refugees and those left in UK.
It's more fuel for the fire.
Trump would be pressuring other countries NOT to help Ukraine. Imagine how this would have gone if the world was not supplying them with rockets and missiles.
This started in the early 70's before modern baby formulas were invented. Companies like Nestle were running campaigns that made it seem that breast feeding was either not healthy compared to the artificial baby's milks or that made the mothers feel that they couldn't produce enough milk. Many of these formulas were powdered and required levels of sterilization that most families in poor nations could not accomplish during preparation. Thus, many babies were dying of disease or of malnutrition due to insufficient feeding because the mothers couldn't afford to buy enough of the milk.
WMD is somewhat of a loaded term. As we all know by now, our response has to be proportionate. A small-scale chemical weapons attack, limited tactical nuke(s), or strategic nukes can't be ignored but are not equivalent. The Biden administration is wise to not publicly broadcast a specific "red line," as we don't know if Putin will cross it just to dare us to respond with force.
Not a fan of fatty European chocolate. It's Hershey's salty rough texture I crave (in comparison). Please, enough side tracking of the thread.
I knew I wasn't spelling Ghirardelli right. Yea, not happy about Hershey's going the Mexico. You start that shit, you need to look at all the fine print on everything you buy. Hell, I still like Chinatown and Woody Allen movies. I must be a terrible person.
