Except it's not demonstrably wrong. The opposite is true. https://www.grammarly.com/blog/no-one-noone/

Except it is demonstrably wrong. As any linguist will tell you, once a word is used it exists. I used it, therefore it exists. Furthermore, it was in use before anyone alive today was born.
Death is better than what Germany did to it's own people.

That's like saying ballisticbubblegum or jkhdsdiub are words simply because I wrote them. This isn't quantum physics, I'm not disputing that they exist, I am disputing that they are words.

You don't get to decide what is and isn't a word by yourself. It's a social decision everyone who speaks the language gets a voice in, including people who aren't born yet. If ballisticbubblegum starts getting used then it will appear in the dictionary once the makers of said dictionary are satisfied it sees sufficient use. Stranger words have become commonplace.

Russia doesn't know who it's messing with

Sanctions obviously work, or Russia would not have spent a decade or more trying to build effective defenses against economic sanction.

Out of all ~110 sanctions given until now, 5 changed the behavior of the sanctionee to the wanted behavior.

So no, they don't work, at least not if you can actually believe politicians goals.

Maybe they want them all to double down, who knows.

Iran's a useful case study. It had an authoritarian regime, but not so authoritarian that it didn't require public approval. Russia is in a similar boat. When Iranian standards of living were impacted, animosity towards the regime, already festering, started to get out of hand. It's unfortunate that the United States gave them an out when it did, because the regime may well have fallen. Russia's situation is similar. It needs Russia's approval, and approval within Russia for the war is already falling. Will that lead to the collapse of the regime on its own? Unlikely, but it will keep Russia occupied and not in a position to invade other countries.
