This is the second front of the war that most of could have at least some impact.

It is a double-edged sword. The short impact, depending on an industry, is that the Russian government will have slightly less money. This is net good short term because this money finances the war among others (but also education, hospitals...). However, in the long term, this means increasing the divide between the two worlds and, economically, the Russian government trying to reproduce the missing markets locally…

This is very oversimplified view on what happens and thus provides wrong solution.

I would recommend you to watch this interview https://youtu.be/6xIeLJGcpfU. Alexander Shtefanov is not Welcomed by bot Ukrainians and Russian “patriots” because he reveals truth unpleasant for both sides

Could you summarize it in 2-3 sentences? The video is 3 hours long...

EDIT: I couldn't resist and started watching, it's really interesting. The guy also reflect the change I saw in many young Russians. (Dying for Zhukov's statue was especially funny...)

Jews made Israel thousands of years ago. They're the natives.

Will Americans let the natives have their own state back...? How does Manifest Destiny, Christian Zionism and oil security fit into this?

Native Americans are also Americans. In addition to having reservations, they can also purchase land.

This is really an interesting take. a. Company leaves Russia. b. It can't take it's money or assets abroad (this is forbidden). c. It starts negotiating sale of business and/or sale of assets with the Russian government. d. Usual terms are: d1. Sell at discount not less than 50% d2. Our of the sale price, pay at least 10% directly to the Russian state budget. e. Win (?)
