    Every nation should kick Russians out, block their accounts,

    The Russian people are not making these decisions. Moreover, those who have left Russia are probably among the least likely to support Russia anyway.

    What good comes from attacking the people of a country because you disagree with the leadership of the country? This is the same disgusting rhetoric used in the USA after 9/11 where there were widespread calls to kick out ALL Muslims and people from the middle east.

      Because the only way to force change in a country, is to push it’s people to make that change. It mught not be pretty, but it’s reality.

        You can’t simultaneously call Russia an authoritarian dictatorship and say that its people have the power to change the country’s trajectory.

        Because the only way to force change in a country, is to push it’s people to make that change.

        The correct way to say this is: “the only way to force change in a country, is to push the people who can make change to make that change”.
