@kreyren while I support Ukraine, this is nonsensical in many ways. How would you even enforce such things?

@kreyren I hope this is meant to be parody. You can't possibly be suggesting the punishment of an entire nation (even on matters unrelated to the conflict) at such a fundamental level as blocking IPs because of the actions of a demented leader.

For now, I'll assume that you're a legit/real human being who isn't just taking the piss. If this is the case, then consider the ramifications of making average citizens suffer due to these unofficial sanctions. I can provide from firsthand that in 2014 (soon after American sanctions) in Venezuela we had it really tough as we couldn't buy basic shit like medicine as international companies bolted from the country similar to what they are doing to Russia atm. Now, if you're a rich government official you can still easily get everything you need by doing your shopping at a neighboring country. So the only person that suffers are those not even involved in the conflict. Thus, this reactionary tactic can make you feel like progress is being done but it is not a sane strategy for actually inflicting pain on the enemy (Putin and his loonies).

@zpartacoos Not to say that i blame russian citizens for this war.

I highlight that it's important to recognize the indirect involvement and implications
