A bit off putting how nonchalantly people are asking for economic sanctions on a population of 144 million people that are already quite poor.

Not defending Russia here - but let's be more mindful of the fact that there are other human beings at the other end of the stick.

Interesting point. How would you resolve this chalantly? 144 million people who probably will struggle to purchase their next iPhone vs 44 million people many of whom might die, loose all property and homes. What is a good way to resolve this in your opinion?

Sanctions are mostly targeted at Putin's companies and camarilla.
