I think there are a lot of moral compromises, contradictions, and hypocrisy as you outline.

However, the alternative to throwing everything non-violent at Russia, is actual military intervention. Essentially, very high risk of real WW3.

The Iraq invasion was a huge mistake. Russia's invading Ukraine is a huge mistake. Generally, war is a huge mistake.

If there is anything non-violent left to try, I can't blame anybody for trying that. This is one tiny, tiny small thing.



> Generally, war is a huge mistake.

100% agree with you! Now our politicians made this mess, we shouldn't make it even messier by making people suffer


The people who are suffering are the Ukrainians so it's just thing to apply as much non-lethal suffering back on to the country causing it as is possible. Every little bit helps.
