This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

One is perfectly free to hate the Kochs, but if by the "article" you mean the "tweet" by "Occupy Democrats," might I suggest that you at least be a little more discerning in your triggers?
Great read here.

I'm not triggered. I even pointed out that I didn't read it. Apparently you are triggered though. To go to the effort of sending me a message.
Have a cup of tea.
Agreed, if real. Culturally, in Russia, the army has historically held a certain independent institutional respect as a sort of "safety net" for the people.
We are nearly 12,500 posts in........how many more before this stupid war is over?
69,420. Give or take tree-fitty.
I’m betting lots of “left-leaning” entities as well. Let’s not let our domestic political feelings get in the way of the best approach during this crisis. I’m not sure sanctioning the Kochs or anyone else in the US is going to help matters, unless we know they are funneling cash or other assets to the Russians......yeah....and?
I'm not sure I have a strong opinion. I'll have to reflect and read more.
That being said, every day this war continues, lives are lost and it is killing our economy as well....so if you are making money of hitler/putin, than you certainly are not friends with America/democracy.
It’s not “killing our economy”. Our economy is by far the least impacted by this situation.
We can't just be passing out money /taking on debt forever. Gas prices don't affect the cost of us driving as much as they do the costs of goods at the store.
I know you are smart enough to realize this. I look at things macro, not micro.
Yeah, the Europeans are the ones who will feel it on the trade front.
Germans don’t want to see energy costs price them out of their manufacturing trade.
In retrospect, shutting down the reactors in response to the Japanese tsunami might have been an over reaction. Safe to say the Greens didn’t let that crisis go to waste.
Interesting article about a retired CIA agent from Iowa. He thinks Putin will crumble.

Not just from Iowa, an actual HAWKEYE!Interesting article about a retired CIA agent from Iowa. He thinks Putin will crumble.

Olson was born in Le Mars, Iowa, and studied math and economics at the University of Iowa. Upon graduating, he was commissioned into the Navy, where he traveled the world. “It was a great adventure for a small-town boy,” he said.
Not to get into a pissing match here, but soooooo...you saw "Koch," but didn't read anything, yet posted something anyway, and I'm the one triggered? Got it. I mean, at least I had the decency to wait until four or five circle jerk posts had accumulated.

Here are a couple of substantive article. Seems pretty open and shut that Koch Industries is putting profits above morality to me.
Koch Industries has numerous ongoing business operations in Russia, and has not given any indication of that changing, Popular Information reported on Monday. Its wholly-owned subsidiary, Guardian Industries, operates two glass production plans in Russia, one near the border with Ukraine, according to the newsletter run by Judd Legum.
Koch Industries has two other subsidiaries with operations in Russia, including Molex, an electronic components maker, according to Popular Information. Koch-Glitsch operates as Koch Engineered Solutions, which maintains a sales office in Moscow.
These companies continue to do business in Russia
Although public pressure is building on major businesses to exit the country, a number of prominent players remain.

A war over Russia has erupted at the Atlantic Council
It's rare to see a public fight at a prominent D.C. think tank, but Koch funding and human rights policy toward Moscow have pushed grievances out in the open.

I will say this about them -- they stay true to their values.
Now do Soros....Here are a couple of substantive article. Seems pretty open and shut that Koch Industries is putting profits above morality to me.

My guess is Koch is looking at best way to get out...
The Atlantic Council, a nonpartisan organization, released a list of foreign government donors that include many of the nations most active in funding American think tanks, like Saudi Arabia and Qatar
Saudi leadership are give a free hand to murder political opponents and invade neighbors.
Can someone point me to the Atlantic Council condemnations.
TIA.
Exactly. Shutting down nuke power was a knee jerk reaction to Fukushima. Stupid.
This was my thought. I have no doubt that those two skanks, or Maisie, or Gohmert, or Biggs...will do something crazy. The bigger the stage the less likely it is they will be able to control themselves, and Kevin McCarthy will enable them.
Why is it always Soros with you guys? Why try to create a whataboutism?
Should have grabbed her, thrown her into a burlap sack, and dropped her off in Kiev.
They had a 6 hour meeting with China today. I imagine this was discussed at length. We would need China's approval first before enforcing an embargo.
I remember when I moved out of my parents house some Polish friends helped me. A very hard working people. They will do about anything for a potato and some vodka.
