Is the Escalation of Sanctions the Right Course of Action?

There are signs of opposition in russia, those brave people who demonstrated thereis great braveness going on in ukraine. But there's a degree of solidarity in the west that putin just did not count on. He assumed the west was weak. So far, despite some difference s at the edges, that's not been the case. And i think that's a tribute to byden's success, certainly, but also it's a lot of realism on the part of western powers who are facing up to the kind of leader vlatimer puton really is.
