@andersostlund disagree. We have to show that we are against Putin, not Russia. Otherwise we confirm every hatred that Putin spews

@joseph_guindi Russian state, Putin and 80% of the Russian people are now one and the same. -
@andersostlund we need to engage the 20%, not provide ammunition for Putin's zero-sum game. Like, do you think we stand a chance otherwise? -
@joseph_guindi Good luck! I hope you will succeed. I stick to containment. -
@andersostlund I'm nobody, so no I have no chance of succeeding alone. But I do see that, as a group, attacking Russians personally is bad -
@joseph_guindi I only attack Russians, and others, who support war and terrorism. Feel it is a duty to fight evil. How about you? -
@andersostlund 3) I think we have the best shot at succeeding by supporting Russians who want a better peaceful life. -
@joseph_guindi They are too passive. Containment is faster. - 4 more replies

@andersostlund Good thing is we've been here before. Dust off the old Cold War playbook. Containment and economic pressure worked last time. -
@GaryNeigeborn I have friends here who say it is already in play. Arms to Ukraine, oil-price, currency speculation. -
@andersostlund Senators who sponsored the law came from Illinois,New Jersey,other states with large Ukrainian populations. Lots of pressure. -
@GaryNeigeborn As I understood almost nobody voted against it. Correct? -
@andersostlund President paused for a day or two. Likely slammed with so many calls and e-mails that he signed that week. -
@GaryNeigeborn I was very glad Obama signed it. -
@andersostlund You and I both. While I tend to be politically active, this was the first time I ever actually called the White House. -
@GaryNeigeborn You called? Cool! Well done. - 2 more replies

@andersostlund Russians are addicted to flat-screen TVs, Toyotas, IKEA furniture, iphones, GROHE faucets and a host of other Western goodies -
@RheinKing I doubt the Russian masses have ever had access to those but maybe they dream about it.
