as long as there are egocentric politicians, war won't stop. it may evolve into a different form but i guess, that's part of the humanity. we may survive from the pandemic but the man-made weapon, i guess not. and i don't think boycotting not only russian gambling sites but also other russian businesses would do good to anyone. remember, they are also innocent people trying to live their life. but because of their leader's seemingly unreasonable reasons they are at this situation. i am wondering also that if the rumours are true regarding putin's health, does it play a major role why he seems suicidal in this plan?
If the health of Putin is in fact deteriorating then this may be his way to try to enter the history books, even if he is vilified all over the world if he is capable of annexing Ukraine then he may be considered a hero at his country, while for most of us that kind of thinking is ridiculous, it is in fact incredibly common among the people that desire power more than anything, so even if the actions of Putin are affecting the daily lives of his citizens he does not care as he is willing to do anything to reach his goal.
