Also, Russian media have been forbidden from using the word "invasion" and reporting about civilian deaths. He is clearly losing ground among Russian citizens too, possibly among some of the richest oligarchs too, who for sure don't care a shit about deaths just like him, but could see their profits severely hit by real sanctions, assuming we (as Europe) will have the balls to impose them.

> possibly among some of the richest oligarchs Two of them, Press Secretary Peskov and Abramovich, both have daughters that decried the war on Instagram. (Peskov's daughter's post was taken down fast.)

  I hope she's okay and FSB didn't do anything.

  Just to add to this. I DDGed, and Peskov's daughter appears to be only 8 years old.

    Your search skills leave a lot to be desired... Peskov does have a 24 year old daughter, Elizaveta. This is her Instagram where the story was posted "no to war." https://www.instagram.com/p/CVIlI1rjIDM/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CVIlI1rjIDM/ https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/russian-oligarch-children-athletes-putin-b2023862.html https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/russian-olig... Btw, she's also an assistant to the far right former-"National Front" French politician, Aymeric Chauprade. In case anyone's head has been in the sand about Putin's influence in aggrandizing the far right in the western world, causing disinformation and division.

  That's honourable. More than stupid killing. I wished more Russians stood up and free themselves from these old KGB farts Let's have a peaceful, prospering Europe with all peaceful Russians -- kick these war mongers in their butts. Call back all the soldiers that aren't too motivated anyway.

We could do a lot more by confiscating the oligarchs wealth. They have houses, boats football clubs all over the western world. We should randomly seize some of them every day, to encourage an end to hostilities.

  I would say it should be "total" rather than "random". This regime has shown that it is an existential threat to world stability and must be eliminated. Putin has been pushing boundaries for years and it's time for an end to their reign.

    But when you take all their wealth they don't have an incentive to stop it. You want to run up the panic so that they feel forced to do something.
