    Be that as it may, this is very much part of the intent of the sanctions. Creating popular dissent and dissatisfaction within Russia due to Putin’s insistence on carrying out a war of aggression is very much by design. This is the Second Cold War. We’re in it.

      Sure… Their anger will be directed at Putin, not at who actually imposed those sanctions.

      I am worried that these sanctions will make them band together and support Putin even more.

        Could go both ways, but really the change has to come from within, they will have to change this in the end

      Really sucks though that 90% of war supporters are brainwashed/indoctrinated anyway
