If you know people from Russia, or you are in groups where are Russians please tell them that this is a war in Ukraine, ask people to go on the streets and protest. People in Russia simply don't know what is going on in Ukraine, they are misinformed and trust in their propaganda - which is complete lie. Nobody is waiting for Russians in Ukraine, people hate Russians and will never forgive and forget for what are they doing.
The only way to prevent full out war is if the Russian people rise up. Putin is not considering their future at all. He is old and going out with a bang and taking the whole country with him, and Europe is done appeasing. Kicking Russia out of Swift has the direct implication that many European nations are now war-time economies. Basic things like heating will require dratistic government interventions. Defense spendings are going up drastically over night. Europe is effectively mobilizing in the background. And how could we not? He is not going to stop at Ukraine. He is coming for us all.
WWIII has started and the only thing that can stop it is if the Russian people prevent it. If they stand up. Otherwise, my safety, your safety, the safety of your friends and families is not garantueed. Otherwise it becomes a choice of a whole continent enslaved by one man -or- a whole continent destroyed.
Europe does not believe he will stop at Ukraine. Consider the implications, please. Tell your family & friends. His behavior is too erradic. The basic assumption is that war is inevitable.

"British political scientist Richard Sakwa writes that Azov's founding member Andryi Biletsky, leader of the neo-Nazi Social-National Assembly (SNA) made statements about a "historic mission" to lead the "white races of the world in a final crusade for their survival ... a crusade against the Semite-led Untermenschen", an ideology he traces to the National Integralism of 1920s and 1930s"
This one is great too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social-National_Assembly
Let's go even further, even.
Let's assume that Ukraine is literally run by a resurrected Hitler.
This does not justify a Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The argument, even when bolstered with absolute make-believe, makes zero sense.
However we are not in that hypothetical situation and this is why hypothetical situations suck in arguments.
