I'm fine with seizing the money of Putin and his oligarch buddies. I'm
less sanguine about just impoverishing the Russian people. They might
throw out Putin...but alternatively they might support him as the Great
Leader to take revenge on the West for impoverishment. Desperate people
do desperate things.

Thomas Friedman said something I thought was very interesting
regarding Putin's invasion of Ukraine and NATO ally Poland:
/"//Poland is Russia’s key land bridge to Germany and the rest of
Western Europe. If Poland just halts truck and rail traffic from
Russia to Germany, as it should, it would create immediate havoc for
Russia’s economy, because the alternative routes are complicated and
need to go through a now very dangerous Ukraine. Anyone up for an
anti-Putin trucker strike to prevent Russian goods going to and
through Western Europe by way of Poland? Watch that space. Some
super-empowered Polish citizens with a few roadblocks, pickups and
smartphones could choke Russia’s whole economy in this wired world."/
