This is an emotional view based on the narrative we are being flooded with.

What's happening to Russia is because they are not the West and are acting against the West, not because "an actual aggression against another sovereign country using actual weapons", which something the West and allies routinely do as well (and with no less horrible consequences to populations but without any sanctions).

No, it’s happening exactly because it invaded and is killing people in Ukraine. Why invent an alternative and much more complicated reason?

Russia was a mess, weak and poor for 20 of the last 30 years. All the West did during this time was invest and assist trying to integrate a former adversary into the world economy.

Over 2mil refugee exodus from Ukraine in a mere 2week span is the flood of lives, not the emotional narrative.

Any practical ideas to halting the still ongoing Russian effort to demolish Ukraine? Asking the Russian state to "just stop" does not seem to work for now.
