      Switzerland is currently sanctioning Russia. Let me say that again to be clear: moving to Switzerland, the most neutral country in the world, will not prevent you from having to abide by sanctions against Russia.

      “Russian” is not a race. And Finland has a history with Russia that isn’t easily forgotten. That is to say, every Finn I’ve spoken to hates Russia for invading Finland… Twice…

      Finland isn’t even the only neighbour that hates Russia. At some point one has to wonder why so many of Russia’s neighbours hate, or at the very least don’t feel comfortable with, Russia.

      Maybe, just maybe, the reason why everyone is having issues with Russia is Russia’s own damn fault.

          No, let’s not degrade language like that.

          And “eliminated at all costs”? Sounds exactly the kind of thinking that leads to getting shut out and cut ties. Good riddance.

          It’s ok to discriminate against a nation for waging war. Should be done to any nation. Including Israel, etc.

              I don’t think they’re blind by seeing them invade a sovereign nation and wanted to damage them in return to try to prevent them from doing it again (again (again…)). I don’t think you understand what you’re saying if you think the sanctions are done blindly.
