Energy prices are going up no matter what because of global energy peak and diminishing EROEI, but this certainly will exacerbate matters.

Then do a Russian coup to install a pro-Russia gov't in Ukraine then?
I can easily say: "Putin always wanted to restore Soviet empire" and make up shit too without evidence.
What is 'resoning is undsound'? Your Russian keyboard is malfunctioning?
because China isn't reunified with Taiwan yet, we should respect "non-intereference in internal affairs' as a principle until reunification is over. Dropping it outright just for the sake of Russian adventurism is not wise. China should stay neutral.
So what? Ukraine does things we don't like, but it's a sovereign independent nation. If you don't like this principle, any great power can bully small powers at will, which is fundamentally wrong. We can agree to disagree.
Let me clarify: "I support one weak barbarian imperialist (Russia) against another stronger barbarian imperialist (USA), but to me, both are white barbarian imperialists whose propaganda is too blatant for me to tolerate."

Why let the West decide what's proportionate and follow that lead? Russia can decide and let the West respond proportionately, or not, depending on what they can do, because I can guarantee you that the US doesn't think about proportionates at all. The US always does whatever it wants to and can for its own benefit, with poor legal justification if it can find any or none at all if it cannot. Russia should be led by no one to determine the correct level of escalation in its own backyard; it should take the initiative with all its power.
There is no right and wrong in this world anymore because the US-led West never abides by it. It's just them vs us. And Russia is our brother; they are us. I support them in all their endeavours and blame whatever seemingly immoral actions that they need to commit on the Americans who pushed them to. After all, this is the Western logic when responding to who is at fault when they kill innocent kids in Iraq/Afghanistan.
And you are only supporting Westoid aggression and propaganda narrative. Well done
Because China had been lucky enough that it didn't have a puppet regime installed in its leadership that would have implemented policies favored by your Westoid buddies.
Russia at that time is under a puppet regime just like the Jungwei government of China in the 1940s. Do commitments made by puppet regimes have any merit? No.
There is nothing wrong with supporting China's biggest and strongest ally. Why are you supporting Westoid narratives against Russia? Do I have to remind you about the West's past and current hostility towards China? I can claim the same about you, how you are willing to perform out of this world mental gymnastics to support Ukraine who by the way wouldn't think twice about throwing China under the bus to please your Westoid idols.
Ok, lets clarify, Korean Civil war, what is the justification of the USA to participate in the conflict ?
Why Ukriane different from the Korean war ?
More than that. The Budapest Memorandum forbids sponsoring a coup. It references the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe.
CONFERENCE ON SECURITY AND CO-OPERATION IN EUROPE FINAL ACT
HELSINKI 1975
VI. Non-intervention in internal affairs
The participating States will refrain from any intervention, direct or indirect, individual or collective, in the internal or external affairs falling within the domestic jurisdiction of another participating State, regardless of their mutual relations.
They will accordingly refrain from any form of armed intervention or threat of such intervention against another participating State.
They will likewise in all circumstances refrain from any other act of military, or of political, economic or other coercion designed to subordinate to their own interest the exercise by another participating State of the rights inherent in its sovereignty and thus to
secure advantages of any kind. Accordingly, they will, inter alia, refrain from direct or indirect assistance to terrorist
activities, or to subversive or other activities directed towards the violent overthrow of the regime of another participating State.
Isn't it obvious from the beginning? He is a Westoidphiliac who wouldn't let an opportunity to pass without showing his admiration to his Westoid Idols who wants to dismember China. For him, its perfectly excusable for the West to advance their imperial ambitions even at the expense of both China and Russia's interests. But when Russia acts to protect itself, Russia is EVIL. Yes, he prefers to take the side of China's enemies.
British Defence Secretary speaks:
(From BBC Live Feed):
Vladimir Putin has gone "full tonto" over Ukraine, UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has suggested.
He says the Russian president has made the mistake of having no allies in supporting his actions, comparing him to Tsar Nicholas I.
Wallace, a former Scots Guards officer, argues his regiment "kicked the backside" of Tsar Nicholas I in the mid-19th century Crimean war, adding "we can always do it again".
The minister made the comments while speaking with serving military personnel in Westminster.
He says: "Unfortunately we've got a busy adversary now in Putin, who has gone full tonto."
Wallace also says the UK has 1,000 personnel on stand-by to respond to the crisis,
"Tsar Nicholas I made the same mistake Putin did... he had no friends, no alliances," he adds.
We can close this thread now. I fully expect Putin to now withdraw his troops, apologize to Ukraine, and resign.

The podcast 双尾彗星 did is indeed interesting, now I think the invasion won’t be limited in the two new independent republics, maybe this time the wolf really comes and those little red riding hoods in Europe would soon be tasting poison apples they’ve been farming for 30years , good luck with that
