I was looking for a picture of Putin crying and found this interesting article from 2012:

Analyst say that Putin will be hard-pressed to rule with impunity as before, because Russian voters have now shown that they are no longer afraid to criticize him in public.

Hmm, familiar. "Trump's really in trouble now!"

3 years into a war. More restrictions.

So if those restrictions are on a scale of 1-10, where 10 is maximum restrictions, where are we? And why are we not on an 11 since 3 years?

That's what I'm screaming every time I hear of new sanctions for the US and EU. We could have cut his economy off like a light switch if we had 100% sanctions and monetary confiscation from the git go. Now Putin's had time to forge and rejigger alliances.
