I don’t understand why we are taking actions that by and large will hurt little people the most.

We are isolating Russia and creating a pressure cooker with the intention to blow the lid off(Putin). West is supplying the heat, and the water is comprised of the Oligarchs and Russian people.

You seriously live in a bubble and not suffering the consequences of a corrupt power you can not choose.

You didn't consider the possibility that the lid is too heavy to blow off, and all you're doing is boiling innocent people with no outcome.

140 million little people pay taxes to support Putin's invasion.
It's the little people's money that supports war crimes.
This is not a country that lives off taxes from the little people, it lives off the sale of natural resources.
Moreover, many people are in a grey area of the economy, paying no taxes at all: for example software developers making software for the West.
Looking at the ridiculous "sanctions" of recent days, I cannot say who they are directed against. In long run, they benefit Russia, preventing leaking of brains and capital.

During all this war Europe and USA even for a single minute didn't stop buying Russian oil and natural gas to support Putin's invasion.
It's European and American money that supports war crimes.

It probably has something to do with the genocide they’re committing.

Do you know what genocide means? It's war, it's bad but it's not genocide.

Waging war to erase a nation or ethnic group is the very definition of genocide. Yes. It’s genocide.
