- blub 4y agoRussian citizens aren’t funding the war machine. The EU, China, India, etc are. But sanctioning them is admittedly actually hard :-)
- mda 4y agoRussian citizens are funding the war machine by keeping Putin in control. Edit: changed unnecessary wording
- blub 4y agoFunding means giving financial support. You’re referring to political support. Different thing. And for better or worse he is the president elect (as much as that may be worth in Russia) and is a very powerful person. As an aside, I wonder how many coups were proponents of such measures already involved in. Every hobby revolutionary has a plan until they get shot in the face.
