Some things, as painful as it may be, have to be done. This, in my opinion, is one of them. Boycotting Russia economically will undoubtedly hurt citizens that did nothing wrong initially. However, in the long run, they too can be on the receiving end of impressive prosperity-related benefits if this boycott leads to a pro-Western regime change.

Look, the West isn't perfect.

But for better or worse, it's democratic. With ramifications that range from the well-being of citizens to global peace.

Current events have made it clear that Russia, as it is currently run, is not a credible negotiation partner. Lies, deceit and ultimately mass murder.

Praying for peace and posting positive messages on social media helps... but not that much.

Extraordinary times require extraordinary measures. They require us to, among other things, change our lives and perspective on the world. Fortunately, doing so in a way that facilitates real-world change when it comes to the tragedy taking place in Ukraine is not in the realm of rocket science.

Throughout this video, I cover seven simple things almost everyone can do to boycott Russia economically. Other than perhaps item #6 in the video, we are not talking about something in the realm of rocket science. On the contrary, simple and effective steps can bring about game-changing outcomes.

Not just for those who live in Ukraine. Or let's say them and European Union members. But actually for the average Russian as well. An average Russian citizen who is living under an oppressive regime that places next to no value on human life. Our journey on this planet is about more than just surviving.

And we are more than just animals who blindly follow a wannabe alpha male. Let us act accordingly and take decisive action so that reason can prevail.
