    It’s also punishing the citizens of Russia for the crimes of its government.

    Denying their participation in culture is a plan doomed to fail, much like prohibition.

        If Donald Trump wins the Presidency illegitimately, will you say the same of US citizens?

        So, in a country where the elections are clearly a sham, and have been for decades, it’s the people’s fault, is that what you’re saying?

        I couldn’t roll my eyes at this bullshit any harder.

          Firstly, Putin has decent support in spite of the elections being a sham.

          Secondly, there’s literally nothing else you can do to make a regime change happen from the outside. Except war, which no one wants.

          So keep rolling your eyes in ignorance.

            That is very easy to say when you are not a dissident living in one of these countries.

            Literally why I used the US as an example.

            EDIT: Also, you’re literally reducing their access to non-Propaganda media sources.
