First of all, my apologizes in advance if I make this sound bad at some point, or if I nose into something I shouldn't. My words are not my best in these cases.
First of all, calm down. I know it's an awful moment, but don't let the anger make you lose your mind, asking for a ban will not make this any better. (This is an extreme case, so I guess just a simple warning would be more than enough.) We all know that even in democracies, the choices of the rulers are not the will of the people. It's never good to consider the rulers as the whole country. I'm sure many Russians are against that invasion, so calm down, insulting Russia (the people, not the rulers) will not improve this either.
The boicotts would have larger effect by part of the very own Russian people, (I've never seen a product imported from Russian in Spain, sorry), but that would just harm the producers and workers themselves, who are unlikely to have anything to do with this war. I personally don't know too much about Putin, but if he and the parlament have fully ignored the calls of UK and US to back off, I doub he would care about boicotts in his own land. Boicotts would have more of a symbolic weight, as a sign of disapproval of the invasion, but the best way to punish him is at the votings.
Use the Internet, spread the word, but don't lose your mind nor make anything risky. May this conflict get solved in the best way for people. |
