Putin&Co will have plenty of food on the table, unlike common folks. Now all the desperate young men will enlist to fight for him (or maybe against him like in 1917), it was already happening with contract soldiers in Syria.
It's understandable that the only way to pressure Russia is sanctions (can't invade there or assassinate him) but it looks like putting poison in one million city water system to kill a murderer while he drinks water from bottles.
But war is war...

- duxup 5y agoIf they could… Say “dude went insane”. Install some new guy. Cut a deal to pull out. Would be great for everyone. Blame Putin, gives everyone an out.

- myth_drannon 5y agoSanctions induce poverty. Russians will be thinking how to get a bit of food on their table and survive another day, they not going to have energy to make the change. Sanctions may look like a good tool but unfortunately they just make authoritarian regimes stronger.
