Sanctions probably won't get putin to pull out obviously, but when it's getting russian billionaires who don't usually give a shit to come out and say stop the war and ordinary citizens are struggling to pay mortgages it's undoubtedly piling pressure on, especially considering the "special military exercise" isn't exactly going to plan.

Plus, it's shown the west is more united than anyone expected, even the neutrals like Switzerland are with us. Hell, even the fa, one of the most useless organisations on the planet, have finally made the right call.

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.


It's not just me. The Oxford English Dictionary agrees with me too.

Change my mind.


Sanctions are a first part can have a very severe consequences on russian citizen, pushing them on the streets.
Now sending aids, weapons, advanced weapons, logistic and intelligence, is decisive for the resistance of Ukrainians.

How old are you btw ? If the war becomes global and conventional (at least at start *sick*) then you will have to go there.

/e: ratio for urban warfare is 5:1 if you are the invader.

sanctions are useless when EU needs to buy gas and other countries need also other stuff oil pacts etc from russia ;)
otherwise look at north korea or cuba or countries of the sort


Gas prices are rising across the world because of Russia's invasion on Ukraine. Funny thing, the Grand Old Party supports Putin yet complains about gas prices.

This could happen at some point if Russian economy is devastated and Putin still in charge and desesperate:

U.S. officials fear Putin's government may arrest Americans in Russia

No surprise here.

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


That is proof they don't work, not proof they do.

Also agrees with me. Fact is a great number of words your entire country spells wrong so it's rich for an American to lecture anyone on spelling.

your way of looking at things is a bit bizarre.

if a loop hole is necessary, that's because what it is circumventing is functioning as intended.
