How come no one ever does this when it's America killing innocent civilians? I don't support the war but I'm somewhat amazed at the reaction people are having to it. I don't think the plight of those in the middle east ever reverberated like this

It doesn’t matter it’s a dictatorship they are powerless.
How many dictators fell over the last few centuries? dozens?maybe hundreds? Putin will fall at some point, just like everyone before him, he's not a god, it's not a matter of if it's a matter of when.

Yeah, but stop pretending that the Russian people have any sort of influence at the moment.

I was too young when most American wars started but I would have done the same if anything I resent more the US gov than the Russian gov, it's just that it's happening right now
Not a good idea to harass people because you don't like what their government is doing.

Putin and buddies to have to calculate that risk. It may cause a cease fire.

A 5 seconds search shows that the US were bombing Syria as close as one year ago.
Russia is just straight up invading a neighboring country. there is no good in any of their current actions.
I was mostly talking about what happened just after 9/11.
1. Show them the peace address to Russian people by the president of Ukraine, Zelenskyy.
2. Show them the photos of people taking shelter in Kyiv's and Kharkiv's underground metro stations. Russian media is banned from reporting anything but official information and official information lies that this is only a limited "de-nazification operation" in small eastern parts of Ukraine. These are extremely powerful photos, as they mirror the experience in Moscow under Nazi attack in WWII, which is as iconic to Russians as the photo of Iwo Jima flag rising or dead soldiers on Buna Beach are to Americans. There are other photos to show too, such as of burning churches in Sumy, which mirror the collective memory of burning churches under the Mongol invasion. Or that NY Times photo of a dead Russian soldier lying under a thin layer of fresh white snow next to a destroyed APC. Russia doesn't even admit any casualties yet and lies to its population every step of the way. Show them the truth!

Annoying them enough might push more people to protest. The softest option of the script is one alert() message once a day, that doesn't seems like harassment, the strictest option is to redirect you to a form on the russian government website, that's more debatable but that's up to you, you can also run custom code. If you're annoyed/blocked while trying access a website you like because your government is oppressiv…
I see this as a means to divide further and to attain higher moral ground - "do THAT" in case of alert or "you are not welcome here until you SIGN THIS" in case of redirection.
For that to be a little bit more fair, I would like to see a detection of NOT Russian or Belorussian visitors with alerts and redirection to forms of their respective governments who did nothing to prevent a war.
Consider that a feature request. ;)
