The Western sanctions are said to be targeting Putin’s inner circle. Should they be targeting the Russian propaganda mouth pieces on RT/Sputnik? I’m not suggesting the west sanction the average Russian citizens who are simply parroting the government narrative. People like this are the authors for Russian government Think Tank position papers advocating the Russian invasion of Ukraine. https://youtu.be/8wt2JlTV3bo https://youtu.be/8wt2JlTV3bo This individual is literally writing the papers that advocate for the war, and pushing propaganda on RT, and yet you can pay to take his course on Coursera. He’s coldly calculating that Russia should invade, and he’s making these recommendation knowing that he will remain employed at the HSE and his life will remain largely unimpacted by sanctions. It’s people like these who should be sanctioned the most. From one of his recent papers: https://valdaiclub.com/a/highlights/great-power-politics-and-the-ukrainian-issue/ https://valdaiclub.com/a/highlights/great-power-politics-and... “It is not surprising that the most common reaction on the part of sincere, although not always sufficiently enlightened ordinary people to current events and statements by the parties is an expectation of a catastrophe, which, in fact, can never be ruled out when it comes to interaction among sovereign states. “ Im a sincere, although not always sufficiently enlightened ordinary person would like to see this person sanctioned.
