2. Putin didn't think this out very well, did he?

Russian people will soon revolt and he can't put them all in the gulag! There will be no Soviet Reunion!

5. I believe it is the soul responsibility

of the Russian people to rise up and reclaim their country......they have been in passive mode way too long....The sanctions are essential to awaking the sleeping Russian people...We here in America have similar bullies to revolt against as well to retake our democracy.

8. Another post on DU tells about AirBnB being used for "donations" to those under siege in Kyiv

People are literally giving money to Ukrainians through AirBnB by booking "rooms" and paying them but they will never actually go there. I'm certain that people are using Visa and Mastercard to make these donations. So that's a double-YAY for Visa, thwarting the Russians and helping the Ukrainians.
