Feeding the Hand that Bites You...

Top of the evening to all...

You are all familiar with the original idiom.  Biting the hand that feeds you reflects a basic lack of gratitude to those who would do well by you.

Feeding the hand that bites you is remarkably self-defeating.  It is the idea of giving someone the necessary means by which to visit evil on you.  It is with this thought in mind that I have virtually no clue as to the failure of both Europe and North America to stop paying for Russian oil.  Most other economic connections with Russia have been cut off, either as national policy or as individual company decisions.

Vladimir Putin is a blight on the world.  Every penny that flows into Russia exacerbates that blight.  As this conflict spirals from bad to worse, and as the world is dragged more and more into it, the countries of Europe and North America must not pay for the war efforts of an adversary.  It is sheer folly to do so.
