Request to block Russians temporarily from the forum

(1/3) > >>

Earlier this week Russia started a war in Europe by attacking Ukraine. The battlefield is in Ukraine and on EU level we are in the middle of economical war against Russia. Since Wednesday many countries and organizations activated sanctions against Russia. The list is growing every day. Almost every hour.
I deeply apologize for each and every Russian member in this forum because I can't believe you have done nothing with this. But unfortunately, sanctions are the only way we can influent at the moment. From inside. The next step is, and I hope that will never happen, direct war between Europe and Russia. Russians, please stop the war before it. Please find the wisdom!

As a citizen living very close to Russia, I feel my duty to request this. Even when I can see an answer that a) EEVblog is not a political instrument and b) we need to be united. But, like I wrote, it is my duty to request this because the more pressure we can put against Russia, we can still hope peaceful ending.

For Ukrainians, I pray for you. Stay strong. Do what Finland did twice in WW2.

I am requesting to block Russians and Belarussians temporarily from the forum. After a friendly hand is offered from these countries I would welcome you all back. But now, unfortunately, we only see weapons and statements of nuclear war from east.

I don't see what purpose that would serve, anymore than banning RT from the EU would.  The second someone tries to shut someone else up, I become interested in what they are trying to say.  For example, RT America is still going here with their laughable propaganda, and as much as they might represent something I oppose, I wouldn't advocate taking them down.  It is valuable to know even your avowed enemy's point of view so as to understand them better.  Of course if your plan of action depends on manipulating the weak-minded, then censorship and information control are more effective tools.

GTFO with your politics, at least this forum should be left free from this shit.

Why would you punish actual people? Do you think anyone in Russia supports the war? Do you think people in Russia have any say over the people in charge?

People living in places that resemble democracies think that you can simply vote the dictators out. This is not how it works.

the beef is with Putin and his ilk, not the Russian people. I'm sure most of them doesn't want a war either but quite few of them is probably not going to say that to avoid getting arrested and fall out of a window ...
