Some of these regular Ukrainian people are my close friends hiding in a shelter as you read this. I’d be purchasing charter flights for them if that was in my power. Every day I pray that they stay alive.

I understand your emotions and your viewpoint completely.

I think this is an overly simple answer to a complex dynamic. If you invest time researching victimization, you will understand why victims are usually not in a position of power to decide their fate. Some even actively support the perpetrators — that’s not a sign of a real will, but a symptom of submission.

All this is achieved by perpetrator through fear and manipulation. There is a reason why societies keep ending in this kind of situation, and this reason is not a lack of will to “stop the abuse”.

Human mind has dozens of biases, those who exploit them and add physical abuse to the mix very often end up on top. In USSR this exploitation was made into an art, especially at earlier times (30s and 40s).

We already know. Over the past days they have criminalized most of the ways to convey information about the conflict, with 10-20 years of imprisonment. As a side-consequence, most of the non-government press in Russia does not exist anymore.

Thanks for that.

Maybe we should make a table with a no. of victims per country so we can distribute blame more fairly? Can also probably automate and gamify this. Good thing most leaders who made these decisions are gone and we can shift anger to actual citizen instead.

Swift only hurts couple of banks which are under sanctions, and only transactions done over swift. Money transfers are not fully blocked. I highly doubt this is the real reason.

I see three reasons for the exodus: reduced salary, firings of an extreme scale which already happen, and political views. Most people I know have started relocating due to the latter, but former two now start to take major impact.

Regarding portfolio - exchange has been frozen indefinitely, depending on measures taken by central bank nobody can predict what would happen to the stock price. They have also blocked most ways to move money out of the country. Possible economic default is also a possibility.
