Trading with Russia is supporting them, especially in the face of the West's desperate attempts to economically suffocate them.
This is like your friend being in a fistfight.
You do not help him fight
You do not mend his wounds
You do not give him tools or training
You do not cheer him on
The only thing you do is:
Hey “friend” you have valuables i want?
You are in a bit of a pickle..how much discount can i get for those and just maybe i will trade you something you need?
Russia has almost no friends or allies in its fight vs ukraine….simple fact.
Fyi, Seymour Hersh is a well-informed guy, unlike you and other nobodies who chat their anti-Russia nonsense here.
Your usual “spiel” is a very simple one.
1: selection bias. You handpick the handful of putins useful idiots that say what you want to hear and copy paste their views
2: you try to use the fallacy “appeal to authority” . Those selected usually had some minor title/experience.
And that is all you have…when someone asks for a follow up source or research, arguments the logic. All you fall back to is basically number 2 again. “Appeal to authority” fallacy.
But keep coping.
The more desperate russian twitter-propaganda appears..the better the ukranians are performing usually.
So Your spike in activity is a good sign. Keep it up! Slava Ukraini!
