Alex Konanykhin the Russian who offered $1,000,000 for Putler's head

Earlier today I was reading on DU how Russians with dual citizenship with UK were buying Boris Johnson's
party with political contributions. Entire article here......

Wondered if the same thing was happening here, especially with all the rumors of rubles going to Rs, thinking it
could help us in the midterms depending on who is guilty. So I looked up Alex Konanykhin and was shocked.

He has donated 18 times politically, all going to Democratic causes, with a total of less than $7,000. He's a good guy.

I believe as a party we should to looking into Russians with dual citizenship, if Putler is buying off repugs with
underhanded schemes, voters need to know about it.

Plus why stop at putting sanctions on 3 dozen Russian oligarchs? Why not put sanctions on every Russian who has
assets or money in the stock market over here? Doing that should get more Russians mad at Putler than the
current 3 dozen. Might help with his downfall in mysterious ways we never thought of.

SANCTION EVERY RUSSIAN we can lay a hand on, let's help their upcoming coup along by getting more of them MADDER.

6. I disagree.

We are not enemies with "every Russian." We are absolutely not against the Russian civilian population. There is no need to harm or disadvantage every Russian on the planet. We do not need to starve Russian people and destroy their ability to feed their children based on what Putin is doing. The wages of war will visit them shortly, even though most of them are just like you and I.

I firmly hope for Putin's assassination every. single. day. But, even Hitler's senior staff did not seek to eliminate him until they could see that they were losing the war.

It will be up to Russia's military and perhaps some dedicated civilian hit squad to get rid of Putin. I personally don't believe that the sanctions will work, and even the seizing of a $600 million yacht would only cause a billionaire to yawn and buy another. Perhaps they can be made to feel the monetary losses. But, the average Russian will just get hurt, and the strange thing about that is, the anger they feel would just lead back to us.

We need the average Russian to change their mind about Putin. We are not against them per se. We are against the war in Ukraine.

Eff Putin.

Ukraine,

7. I agree with you, We are not enemies with "every Russian."

Most Russians do not own property overseas, but the ones with assets/money overseas are just a step below their
oligarchs in wealth, still some of the richest. Tightening their belts a little will not harm them until Putler is gone.
This would not apply to their poor or even middle class as they can't afford property overseas.

Still believe more sanctions on the richest Russians would speed up Putler's removal.

Truth be known, the Biden Administration is talking behind closed doors on were to impose the next sanctions.
