  1. Unfortunately, global politics is far more complicated than the two of you may realize. This is the only truly good effort possible. Firstly, please do not be so bold as to pass quick judgement on anything as complicated as politics between two superpowers. Secondly, don't forget the fundamental blame here. Now, let me break this down for you guys (and if this sounds condescending, that's because it is and I am a [dues-paid] Mensa member): 1. Putin (as the leader of the nation of Russia) starts an unprovoked war with a neighboring nation-state, the Ukraine. 2. After several months of needless killing of both Russian and Ukrainian [INNOCENT] military and civilian lives, Putin still presses on due to his obvious need for closure on something he's allowed his emotions to take control over (instead of his rational, head-of-state mind -- however deplorable it might be minus engaging in war). 3. People want this to stop. Everyone in the world except Putin and a portion of the Russian population that believes his propaganda and/or are subjects of reprisal would like innocent people to stop being killed for no reason. 4. The people of Russia and the businesses therein do bear some responsibility -- it's your leader who started the war (whether or not it's easy or difficult, he should've not been allowed to rule this long as you can now see). Therefore, while unfortunate, this is the political backlash that Putin has put on his own people. This is the most logical course of action for other nation-states other than fight off the Russian army ourselves. I hope that it ends soon. But, until it does, please remember this is a difficult and complex political ****storm that no one has an easy answer to -- other than getting Putin out of power or ceasing his irrational war on his neighbors.
