> Russia is attacking civilian targets, some them are private property. Seems like Russia wants private property to be inviolable only when they are the recipient.
I agree it's deplorable. I'm against all governments and all wars, which are possible only because governments steal resources from a large area and socialise the huge cost of war.
Two wrongs still don't make a right, though.
Stealing from the thieves doesn't make you right unless you're giving back the money to the victims.
The west is just pocketing the money of rich Russians, whether they had a connection with the Kremlin or not. What would you say if the USA invaded Mexico and Europe would steal Elon Musk's villas in Europe?
Why didn't we sanction the USA for Iraq? Or Turkey for Cyprus?
When sanctions are applied inconsistently, it makes you wonder what's different this time.
Is it because the victims are white that we suddenly give a shit about wars? Or is it because we need to forget the pandemic is over but the restrictions aren't?
> Also, Russia was in Syria to prop up a dictator. Does that entitle US to annex parts of Russia? Or Cuba?
I don't think Russia is entitled to annex Ukraine (no-one is, in general), but Ukraine is not part of NATO and doesn't have nuclear weapons, making it a target, especially considering Ukraine joining NATO would surround Russia.
I don't understand how we go from the usual geopolitical shitshow that our leaders force on us to banning bank cards of Russian citizens living abroad. I know some.of them, they'll run out of money in two months and they'll have to move back to Russia.
