If Russians don't want this this unfair treatment from Finland then they should comply with their demands and pull out of Ukraine

Eliot Ness doing so would only further isolate and impoverish russia, most of Russias exports are to EU and NATO member countries, these nations (Germany for example) will simply invest in other nations who can supply them with what they need. Things will be tough for a while but they will prefer this to caving to russia, 70% of Russian oil, gas, and uranium exports go to the EU and US. If they can't export this it will result in mass unemployment in russia as people are laid off coupled with a reduction in public spending.

@swaguelclemens9164 people in democracies don't have full control over foreign policy or government actions as the average citizen isnt the one voting on policy, they vote for other people to vote for them who can lie to the public Most democracies are representative democracies like the US, what you are implying is direct democracy. A good example of this is the vietnam war, many were against the war and many who were for it were largely lied to about it's necessity and depravity.

@swaguelclemens9164 Because in the US we can still vote to Kick them out of office, or impeach them, or overthrow them with violence whereas in Russia if you try to get rid of them or oppose the government they'll simply arrest you. If Russians can't vote them out or refuse to overthrow corrupt leaders through violence, then the other nations need to protect themselves from that corrupt government. Espionage is a real thing and one way foreign powers can protect themselves from espionage, sabotage, and infiltrateion is through green card systems. At the end of the day nations need to protect themselves from hostile foreign powers and sometimes that requires discriminating against people, and sometimes that requires discriminating against people As bad as that sounds it's much preferable to having A bomb go off in your city, Much like what happened to that women who was the daughter of an ally of putin.
