He could have easily folded, and we'd all be worse for it. People need to be given positive feedback when they do the right thing. The Right generally does a poor job of positive reinforcement, which leads people to believe they would be better off kowtowing to the screeching retards on Twitter.

Are these EU governments blocking Russian media? I can still get to Russian things in the US outside of a VPN.
yes the EU sanctions block russian media and also are why italy seized that yacht
Italy will seize Russian yachts but won't do anything to boats carrying thousands of Africans from Libya. Really makes me think
