Sorry, but why should the average Russian pay such a toll for decisions made at the top?

Like I understand reparations, especially as modern warfare is quite damaging to civilian architecture (even when it is not explicitly targeted), but cutting back all social spending will make the situation in Russia even worse than it is now and it will be deeply unpopular.

Like I'm not trying to argue with you, I just want to understand why you think this way.

Because all Russians wanted and supported the war don't you know that? We can't have empathy for the people of Russia, they are the empire and Putin is Darth Vader!!

The average Russian either explicitly supports the war or willfully looks the other way as his country is waging a genocidal invasion.

And I am not talking about those who are afraid to speak up. I am talking about those who have the mindset of "well if it needs to be done then it should be done". As long as it doesn't personally affect their life, they don't mind.

Having to cut social spending in the future isn't a result of sanctions. It's a direct result of spending the social fundind reserves for war. That's a problem internal to Russia and countries outside have no influence on it and have no obligation to compensate it.

Then I guess you support the same position in regards to Afghanistan. By your own standard, every American should have their assets drained to rebuild and restore Afghanistan right?
