  1. Economic war is the best solution for now unless Putin invades another country after Ukraine, that could force western countries in a more direct response otherwise where does it end? The idea being is one of two things, to make Putin's policies so painful on the Russian people that they turn on him or to weaken Russia so much in the world that they become far less of a threat, it's the safer option to do without escalating things but as I said, if Putin invades another country, the west would very likely have no choice but to respond in a more forceful way or he will keep going and more importantly, it would give China ideas on doing the same thing if the west allows it. In any case, what Putin has done here has backfired massively, now only is the west more united than I've seen in years, but we are seeing more countries wanting to join the EU and NATO and if that isn't scary enough for Putin, there's a real chance that more integration on security and military matters will happen in the EU now and to top it off, now EU countries will be actively go out of their way to kill the fossil fuel industry, of all the countries you didn't want to mess with was the EU countries that were already more gun-ho about pushing for alternative energy sources, now they will push really hard on that because of energy security reasons and the ones that get hit the hardest for that are the big energy producing nations with oil, gas and coal. I don't think Putin realizes what he's done, in a sense, he's the best friend that the greens could have hoped for because now what would take decades to do could happen in a much shorter space of time.
