Russian-made firearms are reportedly flying off the shelves of American gun stores after the United States Treasury Department announced sanctions last week against the maker of the popular AK-47 rifle.

And Russian stocks are up after the European sanctions.

Sanctions be good.  Grin

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Just read a blog that expands the "sanctions be good" line of thought. Smiley

What happens when Latvia sanctions the most popular Russian singers...

I would disagree. Russia is posing a serious threat to Europe and the US.

Like it or not Russia and China is what keeps the U.S and Europe in check, if it weren't for them they'd just roll over the planet and turn it into the New World Order the nutters like to rant about on the internet. I don't claim the Chinese or Russians are the good guys in the slightest but they make the western powers think twice.

We like our guns over here. Wink And, that's coming from someone that doesn't consider himself part of the polishing community (Molon Labe types).

At the least Russians are honest, they want to take over someone they do it. They don't play proxy influence wars. Or murder people on other side of the world...

Is AK-47 intellectually protected?

Who is gaining the most? Russian IP or American weapon manufacturer?

That is exactly what they are doing. They are supplying money, training, and weapons to the seperasts. They are not admitting to doing this, but it is well known that they are.

Considering amount of weapons influenced by the design I don't think there are any royalties involved. AK-47 is iconic, but there are lot of superior versions of it around, so this feels quite stupid.

Sanctions aren't good. I track the RUSL 3x ETF fund, and its dropped 25% since Obama did his thing.

This ETF is a "basket" of stocks, leveraged 3 times forward, representing the major Russian business ventures.

Obama made billions disappear into the aether. He's like that dude from DUNE who speaks a word and KILLS.

With oil and nat gas prices going lower, which is Russia's major export, expect some turbulence.

This mess isn't good for Russia.

They are up against an opponent who has historical and political grievances.

On top of it all, Ukraine doesn't have a pot to piss in, which gives them nothing to lose.

And to complicate matters, the Russian speaking oblast in Donetsk has a claim, IMHO, to self determination.


All the killing should stop and folks should talk. Truce already, goddamnit.

Serje, the beat goes on and the killing machine will ALWAYS grind ahead.

"Doomsday" happened when man started killing man on an organized basis.

I don't like AK-47 because it's not a black rifle.

And black rifles are scrary.

It's not intellecually protected as far as I know, the gun originates from communistic times, 1948,
