Was full of Russians. Looks like the sanctions don't affect the citizens. I wonder if that would be a good avenue to follow to put some pressure on putin.

Pattaya is the same, even Russian girls in some of the go-go clubs in Walking Street.
Cyprus is still full of Russians as it has been for the best part of 30 years. You can see a lot in Malta too.

The sanctions are not working. All that happens is that goods are imported/exported via a third country. For instance, places like Kyrgyzstan have seen an incredible increase in imports of luxury goods.

Why should the sanctions affect the citizens? Are you suggesting we somehow convince a sovereign country to ban people from a certain country, which they rely heavily on for tourism money?

If sanctions affected the citizens maybe they'd do something about putin. I was thinking more about reducing their wealth so they can't afford to travel, stopping fx of Rubbles, that kind if thing

Oh come on, you know how.
I go to Thailand to play golf with a friend, of nearly 50 years standing, who lives there.

Too right, maybe they should all spend less time falling out of windows or dying mysteriously in Siberian gulags and just do something about it!

What Adz says is essentially true only they can change things. Mibees they should all spend less time falling out of windows or dying mysteriously in Siberian gulags and just bloody well get on and do something about it.

Of course its their fault. Or are we not to blame for Tories? Germans for Nazis? Palestinians for Hamas?
