There is one and only one non-military solution and Sharkman has already mentioned it: shutting down the oil and gas energy exports. The problem with trying to implement that approach is that the EU will not play ball. They are too oil and gas dependent. The EU leaders will not risk short term hardships and no-reelection in order to stage a boycott. But a boycott on Russian gas and oil exports is what should happen.
Even if you cut of the gas and oil exports, a lot of these oligarchs have so much undeclared assets, Putin is said to have $200 billion in assets. They will wipe out Ukraine before they go bankrupt. Military action is needed. I agree with Fradi. And remember Russia is the third biggest producer of gold after China and the USA and they bought up a lot of gold all done on the low. Cutting them off the swift system will not do much. The only ones that will be affected are ordinary citizens. The oligarchs and those in power will not be.

The seizures put pressure on the oligarchs.
They are the ones Pootie fears most, and the only ones he would listen to.
Not exactly . The oligarchs are scared shitless of putin. He could wipe out their billions in a couple of days.
Putin along with his ass lickers controls this war.
Did you see his war minister quivering in his pants and and stuttering when putin publicly critisized him for being too soft on the war effort.

Haas Terminates Contract of Russian F1 Driver Nikita Mazepin
Nikita now unemployed due to the invasion of Ukraine.
Sorry forr him but he didn't deserve to race in formula 1.
He caused a number of accidents.
He was there only because of the money he brought.

All these threads trying to blame Trump or Biden or the EU or the U.S. are pointless and useless. There is only person to blame and that is Putin. He is pure evil. And nobody is his puppet. People are afraid of his viciousness and his willingness to use nukes. These heartbreaking stories and videos coming out of Ukraine are due to Putin. Everyone's anger should be directed at him.

We speak to speak.

If Putin disappeared, would the conflict stop? or if these generals would continue the war.

If Putin disappeared and I was a Russian general, I'd gtfo Russia. The military has been exposed as nothing more than a bunch of underfed, diseased rats animating a rotting bear carcass.

Sure it looks like a bear and kinda moves like a bear, but definitely NOT a bear.

Putin says countries imposing no-fly zone would be considered "participants in a military conflict"​

Putin said that if we blocked the airspace, it would be the start of a 3rd world war.

Kind of hard to claim the moral high ground when you are calling for someone's murder, isn't it?
Is it really wise for a US senator to advocate for a killing of a world leader?
And if it had been another Republican, like Trump, I'm not sure you would have said the same thing.

Around the corner

What did you expect him to say.
Perhaps if a couple of thousand NATO tanks and missiles showed up on the border of Poland, Romania and Hungary and German, French and British fighter planes took to the sky he would think differently. If they let him take Ukrain and all the West does is seize toys who is next Poland, Hungary, Romania.
Nobody wants an all out war but he is using that threat to do whatever he wants and the West just watches and the US sends prayers, just sending arms to Ukraine is not enough it will just end up in Russian hands.

Putin is the best protected person on Earth. It would be next to impossible to kill him. He has the 4 best hand picked teams of Russian Secret Sevice. Electronic jamming and protection, and even food tasters.

Interesting analysis of Russian failures to advance by a Professor of Strategic Studies


Typical dictator hubris: lots of shiny weapons for display and parades but with very poor support in actual combat situations. Like getting the best F1 race car, but only supporting it with a geriatric pit crew. This is going to turn into a quagmire of epic proportions for the Russians, while domestically they're getting slammed by a tsunami of consequences from the sanctions.

RUSSIAN President Vladimir Putin claims Ukrainians have been "threatened" and "brainwashed" by "Neo-Nazi" west.

Putin said on Thursday that Russia's military operations in Ukraine were going according to plan and he praised its soldiers as heroes.

"I want to say that the special military operation is proceeding strictly in line with the timetable.
According to plan. All the tasks that have been set are being successfully resolved," he said, a week after Russia sent tanks and troops into Ukraine from the north, east and south.

Putin's televised comments seemed designed to rebut statements by Western governments and intelligence agencies that Russia's campaign has stumbled in the face of logistical problems, tactical mistakes and fiercer-than-expected resistance from Ukraine.

He made a series of allegations against Ukrainian forces for which he did not provide evidence, including that they had tortured and killed Russian prisoners of war, and were holding foreign citizens hostage and using human shields.

Putin is a real dictator.
