[QUOTE="mr_b, post: 1106265, member: 21859"] Well fact is, everything you buy originating from Russia carries an export tax. Among the various things the Russian gov uses this tax (as well as any other income tax) for is arming, supplying and paying for their war machine, which is currently killing Ukrainian civils on a daily basis. In the last 116 days the UN estimates 4500+ Ukrainian civilian deaths, and 5500 wounded, and 10,000+ armed forces KIA. This dictator doesn't deserve a cent of my money, especially from a hobby that brings me great joy and relaxation. Yes China and many other countries are guilty of human rights atrocities, even inflicted on their own countrymen. But this is a guy who right now is busy trying to wipe an independent nation from the face of the earth, because he feels a little threatened by a neighbor joining a Western defense alliance. Oh, and I firmly believe he won't be stopping at the Ukraine if the world just pretty much so watches as he does as he pleases. For me, I just don't want to give even a faction of a cent towards the artillery bombardment raining down, killing and destroying innocent families... fathers, mothers, sons and daughters... Putin reminds me of Hitler. The world tolerated his ideals and actions, which only emboldened him... ultimately killing millions. [/QUOTE]
