This is a terrible idea, or one might say, not at all cogent thinking.

I deplore what Putin is doing in Ukraine. This is a war of aggression undertaken because he is scared of the democracy in Ukraine making its way to Moscow (i.e. Russians wanting democracy too).

But. Ensuring Russians can see a view of the world not provided to them by Putin is critical to stopping him and those like him. It gives them access to news on what is happening in Ukraine and gives us news on what is happening in Russia. Cutting off the internet makes his life a lot easier.

I can only imagine people from the State Department to newsrooms to the CIA are hitting their foreheads repeatedly on their respective desks.
