Yes it's a good buy for an American. 

We shall see what happens.

There are very few Americans or investment groups that can pay 2 billion.

We did not punish all the Germans in the war.
We did not punish Marlene Dietrich.
Only those connected with the regime should face sanctions. The one who owns PAOK Salonika for example (Savvidis) is one. Savvidis is a Russian, not of Greek origins despite the name (maybe some great grand father). He is 100% Putinist and a former member of the Russian Duma.
But how is Abramovich helping the Putin regime ?

Western rulers are idiots. 

Like if sanctioning rich people is going to do anything to help the poor people in Ukraine that are going to be massacre by the Russian. 

This world is truly going from smart to dumber. 

Bro, they know that. They just need to be seen as if they are doing something without engaging in military conflict which could escalate into something extremely worrying for everyone in Europe.

JFK called Krustchev's bluff.

But this is what happen in WW2. Do nothing while the other gets ground. Russia will not stop in Ukraine. And now China will take Taiwan.

China attempting to take Taiwan would be a direct fight with the US. We have been building up our troop levels there for a decade.

It's the most ludicrous bottling up ever for America - allies.
UK is excused because they are a) spies, b) incompetent.

And it did not start with Biden. It started under Obama.
If you want Ukraine you send the 82nd. 
Putin would n't even dare.
If you don't want to send the 82nd then don't mess around.

Can you imagine NATO in the sixties operating like this:
All troops/airplanes/polaris subs back at home, if the Russkies invade our plan is a lame announcement to read in the UN.

one of the least informed posts I have seen in weeks

I also notice you completely ignore Trump, who not only was impeached over trying to get Ukraine to cook up false charges on Biden, but also blocked aid to them, and now is supporting and praising PUTIN

No not at all. I know of one. The guy that tried to buy Arsenal. The fact that Newcastle just sold for 300M, from an investment aspect, committing 2B for a team is going to have a very low return on money, unless you hold that investment a very long time. So you really are back to how many Americans that are double digit billionaires would commit that much money? I can only think of one. They might be Americans that could pay 2B, but they would have to be very passionate about being an owner.
