Unfortunately, that is the reality of the situation. I really feel sorry for the Russian people. Many people in the world will now view all Russians as "the bad guys", but most Russians didn't want this. They are just in a bad situation. They can't speak out, because if they do, Putin will arrest them or worse. Now they are gonna be the one's feeling the effects of the sanctions, even though they just wanna live their lives in peace. It's not their fault they have a crazy dictator who rigs elections and invades independent nations without cause.

I don't know if we have the technological capabilities to take someone out with a death ray from a satellite, but if we did, now would be a good time to use it.
