I have not been able to attribute this to any person or origin, but it was passed around on social media. I think it was interesting:

It's been a week since Putin started the illegal war against Ukraine and the following has happened:
Ukraine is still free and the Ukrainians' fighting rate is high.
Georgia and Moldova have applied for members of the European Union.
Germany has reversed 180 degrees from foreign policy that continued after World War II and launched a 100 billion euro equipment program.
Europe's most non-allied countries Switzerland, Sweden and Finland have given up on non-alliance with a bang.
Finnish membership in the North Atlantic Defense Union seems to be a matter of months.
At the United Nations General Assembly, 141 countries voted in favor of the resolution condemning the Russian attack and only 5 opposed. Russia's allies are only Belarus, North Korea, Eritrea and Syria.

What has Russia benefited from this war?

[Omnipresent]

1. If all of that is true...

Putin better end this war…or Russians will hang him in Red Square.

[2naSalit]

2. I'd prefer...

Both.

[Traildogbob]

5. I love your Zelenskyy

In Superman shirt. Who will be first at next Comicon dressed as that superhero of the world? Who will dress as Putin the evil hideous villain wanting to destroy the world, but be the dictator of what’s left?

[Tommymac]

3. Who keeps saying Sanctions are not enough????????? nt

[KS Toronado]

6. reQublicOns

Because they always have to criticize.

[Lonestarblue]

7. The Ukrainians who are being murdered every day while the sanctions eventually have an impact.

That list is awesome, and I’m glad to see it, but the only change Putin has made is to escalate the severity of the attacks, including one civilian targets and dangerous targets like a nuclear power plant. Sanctions have not made one bit of difference to Putin so far. Eventually they may, but that will be because they’re hurting the oligarchs who may refuse to continue supporting him and. Russian businesses, whose leaders may eventually get fed up with Putin.

The sanction that would truly hurt would be to cut off all purchases of Russian gas and oil by the US, the EU, and other countries wanting to participate. Fareed Zakaria argued just that in a piece in the Washington Post. He also suggested removing the Trump sanctions on Iran and Venezuela to help bolster the world oil and gas supplies and keep prices down. Tough choices, but not making them means Ukrainians will keep seeing their cities reduced to rubble and citizens dying by the thousands. Are we willing to stand by and watch as Putin does to Ukrainian cities what he did to Grozny, Chechnya—one of the most brutal attacks imaginable.

12. How long will it be until the first money-grubbing company.....

starts economic relations with Russia again. A month? 3 months? 6 months? One year? When it comes to greed and "adding shareholder value" there is no crime so egregious that they'll ignore Russia forever.

Don't get me wrong. I want the sanctions to work and last until Russia clears out of Ukraine and pays to fix everything they've destroyed, but I also know how multi-national companies work. Greed always wins, or it always has won, anyway.

[XacerbatedDem]

19. Which brings me to something no one seems to be addressing.

The list above shows how many companies have been dealing with Russia for quite some time. I think it's great that they are pulling support, but why were they there in the first place? They knew what Russia was like. They've been taking their money for years. They didn't care. Money is money, right, no matter what blood thirsty dictator you get it from. And I wonder, if no sanctions were enacted, how many of those companies would still be there while Russia runs right over Ukraine.

As usual, it's all about the benjamins. Sick.

[Obvious85]

22. Considering the state of the Ruble, there is hardly any money to grub

[uponit7771]

17. People who don't understand what's going to happen by the end of the month

[world wide wally]

4. The Russian people must be getting the idea that something has gone horribly wrong

[NNadir]

8. While I have no use for Facebook, this found there is most impressive.

[SergeStorms]

9. I bet they could all register and participate in Trump's new platform, "Truth Social".

If the damned thing worked, that is. Republicans could converse with their like-minded brethren in Russia, and plot out other invasions, coups, genocide etc. to their heart's content. IF the damned thing worked properly, anyway.

[TeamProg]

10. Thanks for posting. n/t

[Warpy]

11. Most of these corporations didn't wait to be told to do this, they just did it

and that's the part I find deeply shocking. It looks like even soulless, bloodless corporate fast buck artists have their limits. Who knew?

[woodsprite]

15. They chose to disengage from Russia before the rest of us started boycotting them. nt

[XacerbatedDem]

20. Exactly!

See post #19 above.

[Mr.Bill]

16. And I can absolutely guarantee that

every one of them did it because in the long run it will be profitable to them.

[Warpy]

18. With the ruble cratering

they knew they wouldn't get paid, anyway.

Still, they didn't wait for the bills to pile up or the government to issue an order. They just did it. This is unusual behavior.

[OMGWTF]

13. It's heartbreaking that the Russian people will bear the brunt. It's going to be ugly for them, but

Putler will continue to enjoy the finer things, just in his bunker. OTOH, it's very heartening to see the world coming together to fight evil. I am very excited to see the Russian/GQP connections that will be exposed in the upcoming J6 prime time televised hearings.

[Pepsidog]

14. Good start. We need the courageous people of Russia to rise up. On the other hand, I'm guilty

of sitting home for four years while the Slobfather trashed everything that makes America good. We, the majority of Americans, sit idly by watching republicans systematically destroy voting rights and attack court precedent that may restrict healthcare choices by women. Worse yet, it will all be approved by a SCOTUS that will set women back 50 years. How long will we be controlled by the extremist, religious right. The 2016 election was all about SCOTUS now 2022 and 2024 Dems must win larger majorities in the House and Senate otherwise history will show us what will happen if a guy like DeSantis wins in 2024. And the truly terrifying reality is as a 60 year old white male professional in a solid blue state, I consistently encounter more people who support republicans than democrats and it’s all because the right dominates the media. MSNBC is a blip on the map compared to Fox and rw radio. We need to go after Fox!

[XacerbatedDem]

21. "How long will we be controlled by the extremist, religious right."

As long as it pays. Preferably in cash.

23. IOW Putin: "Kill Yo' Self"
