Ukraine itself has successfully booted out their corrupt president. On a personal note I think the Russian government more than any other succeeded in brainwashing it's people. Ironically you as an activist should be asking for more sanctions as they raise awareness and empower the opposition. I'm sure after a few years of sanctions more people will get tired of this and support opposition and put pressure on the government. Sanctions are there to put pressure from the inside, otherwise it's too easy for people to let the government do whatever it likes as long as it doesn't bother them.
But there is no way to impact only th "bad" ones. I mean I agree with you that it sucks for good people too.
So WB choses the safe way and stops sales in Russia. It’s unlikely he would for a video game, but there are still many who would be offended for continuing to sell goods to Russia (those same ones who downvoted you I’d guess). Which sucks because it’s the middle man paying for the folly of a few in power.Īnyway, with all these sanctions in place, and the general anti-Russian sentiment in the West, it’s risky for a company to continue selling in Russia, especially so since the Ukrainian president has not been shy about calling out big businesses who won’t cut ties with Russia. Sadly, the problem is that you can’t really target Putin himself that much (they did early on but realized it wasn’t enough), so the only other way to put pressure on Russia is to try and tank its economy. I know virtually nothing about them and I still don’t doubt the majority of them never wanted or simply cared to go to war. And you’re totally right, it fucking sucks for the Russian people.
