Russia - threadbanned users in OP

I suspect something has gotten totally lost in translation here - 'attacks on Russians' almost certainly refers to Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine. Attacks on innocent Russian people living in most parts of the world would be completely illegal under every law going.

Under which category attacks on Putin and Lavrov fall

The EU ( especially ) but also the rest of the world were caught wrong footed and unprepared for this invasion ( despite Putins prior history) It will prove to be an expensive lesson, but it will be well learned. I would not see this being allowed to happen ever again. There will be a mass exodus of dependency on other Country's, as soon as that can be organized, even if it will take some years. It will give a big boost to "Greening" policys, reduction of dependency on fossil fuels and reducing dependency on Chinese ( and other ) cheap manufacturing. ( which is turning out to be not so cheap now ) In every way possible, the EU ( especially ) and the west in general, will fortify themselves in every way possible.

They want to temporality allow what?

They can use roubles to wipe their ar$es as its not much use for anything else!

below is how I see the scenario playing out for both sides-

Bolstered by defensive assistance from NATO members, Ukraine’s military and civilian resistance overcome the odds and grind Moscow’s advance to a halt, preventing Russian President Vladimir Putin from toppling Kyiv’s democratic government and establishing a puppet regime. The determination and skill of the Ukrainian resistance forces a stalemate on the battlefield that favors the defenders. 

Soon, it becomes obvious to the Kremlin that Russia will pay an exorbitant price for its adventurism—including the prospect of a long and costly slog in Ukraine, coupled with economic collapse and diplomatic isolation. Putin sullenly orders a withdrawal of his troops. Ukraine remains a sovereign democracy, while Moscow’s defeat accelerates domestic discontent that has already begun emerging across Russia. Putin turns to focusing on the growing internal threats to his power. Meanwhile, NATO is faced with an improved security situation, as Russia is chastened and Ukraine grows ever closer to the West. 

However, the security situation in Europe does not return to the prewar status quo. The short war has claimed thousands of lives on both sides, leaving widespread bitterness in its wake. And although a democratic Ukraine emerges intact if not unscathed, its still-dangerous neighbor faces an uncertain future with the Russian political landscape at a tipping point. Whether the country leans toward greater authoritarianism under Putin, or away from him altogether, will largely determine how Russia behaves with the rest of the world.

You need to reread my post.

The e.g. BBC is not "the same" as Russian state sponsored news. Lazy false equivalence. On the spectrum of quality of sources they are far higher. That doesn't make them infallible, they are just one source, which is why, if you read my post, you'll see I mentioned I have a half dozen news sources open at any one time. I take info from a wide variety of sources, including European outlets, Middle Eastern outlets, even Russian outlets (to see what they are saying), plus many independent sources. I also mentioned that in war it's very hard to verify information, which is why we often have to build a picture with what we have. Actually, just read my post instead of dragging out the usual "Western media is just the same as Russia media, the first casualty of war is truth" line.

The west bans the import of everything Russian, The Russians respond with banning exports lol . So now Russia is sanctioning itself , dumb fcks

But, but, but haven't you heard about how all this is really the West's fault? They poked the Russian bear!

Narcissist 101 - start beating the sh*t out of someone while explaining to them how they're really doing this beating to themselves.

Ah okay! Seems a few cards short of a full deck alright!

This is the most detailed analysis of Putin that I've heard so far - compelling viewing

Bear in mind she doesn't realise that although she's still on camera during the questions, it isn't going to be edited out
