Change My Mind

Too little too late... should have been done the moment Putin invaded.

Agree! But back then Ukraine didn't have the drone technology it has now to target deep inside Russia.

But even so, they'll just restart it elsewhere.

Remember that Russian guy who led a private militia to assist Putin in Ukraine, and he one day sent his tanks into Moscow and looked like he was going to take over, but didn't, then went away and got assassinated by Putin a couple of months later?

I forget his name but he was the one who ran RT news and the disinformation campaign and whatever it was with bots, and then it ended with him and Putin just had it continued those ops anyways. I don't know how it's run now but, obviously it's still going on.

It will be hard to replace all that high tech computer equipment with the sanctions in place.

With all his paranoia and money they he used to have, I doubt Putin hadn't previously had backups ready.

Ukraine takes out three Russian data centers (including a Russian bot/troll farm). I wonder if our Russian trolls on imgflip will be affected?
