I'd add to that confiscation of all property in Europe owned by private and corporate owners of Russian origin (houses, securities, cars, jewellery, works of art, etc.), including those who have acquired European citizenship/residence permits after 1939, their families, next of kin, spouses, partners, children, and grandchildren, including those still to be born. Send them back on foot to Moscow, revoke their non-Russian citizenship, and do not allow them to ever obtain European citizenship or residence permit.





This is insane clown town stuff and echos "not-see" ideology. One of the core tenants of western democracy is we don't do collective punishment (racial, language, cultural or otherwise).

It's been done to a limited extent by Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania already

As you can see it can be done, is being done, and ought to be done across the whole of EU given the number of unexplained fires and explosions of factories, warehouses, and shopping centres in Europe, explosives planted in packages sent via DHL, an attempt to assassinate the CEO of Rheinmetal, cutting undersea cables, and disruption of GPS signal used by civil aviation.


None of these countries expel their own citizens just because they had Russian parents or whatever.

> Send them back on foot to Moscow, revoke their non-Russian citizenship

Eh, why? Most of them escaped russia because they didn't liked Putin. I know a few such Russians in Poland (with Polish citizenship too).


Oh, those poor Russians. If they loose something they cherish maybe they will want to change their own country and run it in some sane fashion without being a constant threat to its neighbours. If they stay in the West they'll bang on about Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy and be a constant vector for Russian propaganda.
