Dude, that is how it works. Due to the nukes, the only ones who can remove Putin is the Russian people.
A large percentage of Russians still support Putin, the sanctions are a great motivator for fixing that issue.
Everyone should respect government imposed sanctions and laws. Infrastructure services should not discriminate beyond that. Denying service based on nationality of the client is akin to discriminating by gender, race, or faith.
Also it’s ok to pull from any market for whatever reason, and not renewing contracts, but kicking paying customers before the term of the (prepaid) service is over is just not cool.
I was simply responding to the claim that it's impossible for the Russian people to remove Putin from office.
Sanctions just give dictators more excuses to blame everything on external enemies. I honestly don't understand how anyone thinks they can work.
Make it clear to Ukraine that their only hope really is being a neutral buffer state.
Roll back the Romanian and Polish missile bases and the Turkish tracking systems.
Sign the USA back up to all the missile treaties that they have backed out of.
That ought to secure another 40 years of fragile peace in Europe.
Or we could just keep shoving weapons into the Ukraine. Wonder how that will work out? I mean weapons always make things better.
No it isn't
