If people want to be corralled like sheep, then those corralling them will only be encouraged to do more.

Doing nothing as a Russian means. 1. Being OK with Russians randomly sending missiles into apartment buildings in Ukraine 2. Being OK with wheat prices jumping 50 or 100% causing food shortages and starvation around the world 3. Possible nuclear war.

Whereas if 1 or 2 million Muskovites simply walk downtown and shake their keys, then almost certainly almost none of them would have any problem at all.

Maybe just the football fans of Moscow could do this? Otherwise, your team will only be playing Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan for a while.
