Vladimir Putin has a rapt audience, his people receive a steady diet of misinformation. They believe that the Ukraine government has attacked them and they must defend mother Russia. The power of propaganda is such, like many examples before- or in the USA today among Fox News viewers, the distortions are the utterances of objective observers.
The West has learned that the vulnerabilities of most nations are financial. In a global economy all have open wounds and weaknesses. Commenter after commenter, presumably under the influence of habit perhaps say sanctions don't work; compared to what-- as if armed conflict were superior?
Sanctions can be even more scientifically engineered; the rise of the oligarchs, has strategic implications.
