    Those people have already had the means, will or duty to move to another country. What’s their excuse for keeping the Russian citizenship?

    There’s plenty of reason, the most likely is that they love their country, their homeland, their city, the network of friends, the memories and they hope, one day, to be able to get back.

    Let’s just assume there is a way to make sure there is no overreach of sanctions, but it’s going to cost millions of tax dollars or euros. Would you rather have that money spent on things that are close to you (education, healthcare, infrastructure etc) or would you want that money to be spent identifying which Russians should or shouldn’t be sanctioned?

    Would you still love me if I was a giant moth?

      So it’s literally their decision to keep their citizenship and be sanctioned, but you’re still outraged about it?

      Would you still love me if I was a giant moth?

      I would definitely hate you less because I really hate trolls.
