I am scared that the freeze on foreign exchange reserves and the corresponding collapse of the Rouble is an escalation that will lead us all somewhere we don't want to be. There is a lot of miscalculation going on from all sides. I hope everyone pivots to diplomacy asap.
that's the gamble isn't it... that the Russian people don't want this or understand it, and that the cost will be crippling, and it will create the conditions for uprising in Russia against Putin.
it feels like that is the gamble, and it's a big one if it is.
