Have you ever thought that Russian citizens agreed to this attack? almost all of them refused except the president and parliament
I'm not against this boycott but if you think rationally you should know which one is the most appropriate.
If this way can stop the war I will support but if it doesn't have an impact I think this is a misdirection.
Unfortunately, we have no direct influence on the Russian government. The purpose of the boycott is to put pressure on the Russian community, which should either change the government's decision or change government completely. After all, in theory, Russia is a democratic country, so if citizens does not want this war, they should do something about it.
But sadly, how can citizens do anything if they are constantly being watched by the Russian government? Maybe only if all Russian citizens demonstrate to the government will they be able to see that their citizens do not agree with the actions of their government. Apart from that, they couldn't do anything.
The government is in power and they will continue to pressure their people to support what they are doing, even if the people don't agree. Maybe Russia will continue like this while continuing to put pressure on its people because I don't think Putin has much of a solution to this war problem.
