    So, considering it hasn’t made a difference and Russia is still attacking Ukraine and Putin is still in power, how do you reconcile what you just said with the reality of the situation?

    The only thing that’s changed is that Lush’s partner in Russia and all their employees have no income now.

      So because it didnt immediately and totally fix the problem theres no point to it? Is that the “argument” you’re making?

        Lush did this in March of last year. I’m just asking what you’re expecting from this considering that they did do what you suggested. When is the effect you’re saying is supposed to happen going to happen?

        You don’t have to be an asshole. It’s a legitimate question based on your assertion that all that needs to happen is pressure needs to be put on people.

            How am I being an asshole? By pointing out that what you claim should happen hasn’t happened in the slightest?

            You made a claim. I’m just asking you to justify it.

              And all im doing is asking if you think that because it’s not fixed the problem straight away it’s not worth doing?

              Plenty of people have already explained how targeting Russias economy puts pressure on Putin.

                Yes, but no one has explained how the economy is harmed by harming individual Russians. If it’s not making a difference so far, how long do Russians who have nothing to do with the war suffer before we decide it’s a failed strategy? How long do Ukrainians suffer while we keep doing things that are not having an effect?
