This has been exactly my impression of the internal situation as well. The first wave of sanctions targeted at the russian government/central bank (where the normal people were only collateral) made the normal people angry at the russi

I'm not saying the country can't change from within, I'm saying two things, one is that you can't change it by attacking random people within it, two is that you have no right to tell people to go face death. Changing th

I'm sorry, but you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Russians have been protesting since 2011, and had protests bigger than that that only resulted in all of the opposition leaders getting jailed/murdered/ex

You do understand you are talking about real people? Young girls, parents of toddlers, grandmas? Why do you think _you_ have the right to tell them to go face possible death and torture?

Around 15,000 people have been detained for protesting since the start of the war, despite facing 15 years prison sentences for simply calling that war a "war" and russian prisons having documented organized torture rings. How man

On top of that, petty, personal attacks like that have the absolute opposite effect if the supposed intention is to motivate russians to protest. It just makes people angry and suspicious of the west, nothing else.

Also, 11446 people have been detained so far, according to OvdInfo.

The argument was not about the imposition of sanctions on the citizens but about punishing the mostly anti-government people that are currently fleeing the country. Also my debater accepted the argument and wrapped himself in that straw.

The only reason it didn't fall sooner is because you didn't shoot enough fleeing refugees. Got it.

Right, if you were in power people fleeing over the berlin wall would have been shot from both sides, not just by the soviets. Cause they should have stayed inside and overthrown the soviet government. Same goes for north koreans, shoot th

Average russians don't use twitter or facebook, it's mostly the educated middle class. Educated middle class people know what's going on, hate Putin and have been protesting it all since 2011, but there's only so much th
