That could change things. I am aware that many of Putin's supporters will not be affected by these sanctions and will not get western news which while not perfect is still more accurate. And they don't have Paxum cards.
What do you believe the answer should be? WWIII? Light sanctions that have no effect? I don't know the answer either, but I feel like if Putin and his supporters want to act like it is 1912 and take over a neighbor then they get to live by themselves in 1912 like world or demand to be part of the modern world and act like it.

Thank you for taking the time. I understand your point and liked the analogy ie., pain points, etc. Also, fully understanding you it must take whatever it takes to accomplish your/the goal. Regardless, of the outcome of others' suffering that has nothing to do with Putin or Ukraine. Like gas prices here in the US for the elderly on fixed incomes or Russians protesting for Ukraine or the innocent thousands of unemployed who worked for the subsidiaries of the oligarch's businesses. All for Ukraine, a failed state ran by a criminal cabal. All I can say is FUCK Ukraine your country is not worth it. You are just as bad as Putin with this attitude. My actual point.
